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.
