Halloween is just around the corner, and for many of us, thinking about how to prepare for this day is a chore! With exams coming up, it is completely understandable that we might not even have time to prepare for anything at all. If you are one of these people facing the dilemma of preparing for exams vs preparing for a party, we have made your life a tad easier! We have gathered for you 4 simple suggestions to make this day unforgettable!

1. Prepare your spooky makeup set!

Whether you are a girl or a guy, your Halloween would not be complete without the right face disguise. Get that smoky eyeliner, prepare your face paint kit, or even get some scary masks to save yourself the trouble of painting your face altogether. Look for YouTube Tutorials on different makeup styles for Halloween. Ladies, no matter what you do, do NOT attend your next Halloween party with red lips, black eyeliner, and cat ears. Nothing is more cliché than this costume.

2. Pick out a party!

If you are on a budget, aim for school or university parties! Schools and universities host parties all year long to collect money for their proms, graduation ceremonies, social clubs, and so on. Their ticket prices are usually fair and they have a lot to offer for the money worth. If you are not into school or university parties, many NGOs also host Halloween parties as part of their fundraising activities. Check if your favourite NGO is on the list of Halloween-party hosts, gather your friends, and party the night away. This way, you would be hitting two birds in one stone: partying AND helping society.

3. Option for house cats

If you are not a party animal, you can still make Halloween special: Host a party in the comfort of your own house. Decorate the place with orange balloons, have some scary props set at the entrance, invite your closest buddies, and enjoy. You can set up some fun activities like pumpkin carving and piñata busting to keep everyone entertained. Turn off the lights, turn on a flashlight, and share your horror stories. Prepare a delicious meal, or better yet, order some pizza! The possibilities are endless, make them your own!

4. Spread joy

You know how people wear their scary costumes and knock on doors asking for candy? You can do the same thing, but in reverse! Put on some fun masks, buy tons of candy, and give it out to people around you! Schoolmates, co-workers, university friends, even strangers on the street! Everyone loves candy, and you just might make someone’s day with your small gesture of kindness! You can even visit your local public hospitals, schools, orphanages, or elderly homes and spread your sweet surprises over there, just to make sure that everyone gets a taste of the happiness you’re spreading around, even those who are not able to go out and celebrate. Of course, before you offer candy to anyone in those institutions, you might have to get someone in charge’s permission. You wouldn’t want to give a Mentos to a diabetic man by accident!
