October is one of the most exciting months here at WVU.  It’s finally fall, the semester is halfway over and now is your chance to dress up like your favorite princess or movie star for Halloween.  I’m here to tell you all about the exciting things you can do around Morgantown.

1. Halloween Weekend

Halloween weekend is a huge event here at WVU.  What isn’t fun about dressing up in cute DIY costumes from Pinterest with your best friends?  Hello, it’s like childhood all over again.

2.  Cooper’s Rock

Cooper’s Rock is basically an attraction for every month, but I guarantee October is the best month to go.  With the leaves changing colors and getting ready for winter, it’s the perfect backdrop for a selfie with your BFF’s.  Don’t forget to Instagram or were you really there?

3.  Carving Pumpkins

Pumpkin carving: a favorite fall activity to say the least.  There are millions of choices of stencils.  Print one out online and it’s a fun way to spend a free day with friends.  Also, don’t forget to Instagram that as well.

4.  Shopping

Is there anything more fun than updating last year’s fall wardrobe?  The endless amount of sweaters, boots and leggings available now is practically heaven.  Nothing beats a girl-shopping trip to the mall.

5.  Take a trip to Starbucks

Did someone say pumpkin spice latte?  Those three beautiful words only come around this time of the year.  Feel free to drink as many lattes as needed because they are basically perfect.  It’s like any holiday; it only comes once a year.

6.  Bonfires

October weather is the perfect weather for a bonfire.  You can roast marshmallows, hotdogs or just sit around and spend time with friends.  It’s a perfect excuse for a get-together with your favorite people.

7.  Binge watch Halloween movies

Nothing is more exciting than watching Hocus Pocus or Halloweentown obsessively during October.  These movies only come around once a year, so it is very important to have them on repeat.  Trust me, your friends are just as excited as you are.  Make it a movie night!

Whatever your plans are for the rest of the month, make October 2015 one to remember.

  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
