15 Things to Do if You’re Bae-less and Friendless this Halloween Weekend

Cuffing season is upon us, and, if you’re single like me, the exponential growth of couples and their public displays of affection is nauseating. All of a sudden, the friends that you planned on turning up with this Halloween weekend have cancelled the plans you agreed on 6 months ago, all because they want to go pumpkin picking, trick-or-treating, scary movie binge-watching, or any other enjoyable event with their bae instead of hanging out with you. Now you’re stuck scrambling to piece together a makeshift, enjoyable Halloween plan so you don’t have to spend Halloween sulking and wallowing in your feelings of undesirability.

Have no fear! I’ve come up with a comprehensive list of things to do if you find yourself bae-less, friendless, and fun-less this Halloween weekend!

  1. Turn off all the lights and read scary stories by the candlelight (or flashlight).
  2. Put on your comfiest pajamas, set the room temperature to -50 degrees Fahrenheit, and fall asleep to the Autumn Acoustic playlist on Spotify.
  3. Buy cookie dough, bake the cookies, pour yourself a glass of milk, and eat ALL THE COOKIES BY YOURSELF.
  4. Binge watch a Netflix series that is completely out of your comfort zone, and force yourself to watch the whole entire series (I’d recommend Cleverman, Black Mirror, or The Boondocks).
  5. Go up to a random person, or your crush, that you find attractive, and ask them if they’d join you for coffee/hot chocolate/tea/fro-yo (on you of course).
  6. Treat yourself to a spa-day or massage. Trust me, you don’t need a bae! All you need a good hot stone massage or a set of fleeky nails!
  7.  Ask a neighbor, who has kids, if you can go trick or treating with them.
  8. Call a friend who you haven’t talked to in a while and have an hour long conversation with them.
  9. Buy some Graham crackers, chocolate, skewers, and marshmallows, and use your stovetop to roast S’mores with a spooky audio book playing in the background
  10. Crash a Halloween party and pretend you’re the long lost cousin of a random person there. Stick with them the whole night and recount stories about how you did such fun things together when you were young! Try to go the whole night without  breaking character and your story falling through.
  11. Buy two pumpkins. Empty them out and clean the insides. Then, fill one of them with your favorite drink and the other with your favorite food and try to see if you can finish the contents in both without throwing up.
  12. Take a bus or drive to a town you’ve never been to and explore the restaurants/sights that are there. Don’t forget to take some insta-worthy pictures that are sure to make all your friends jealous!
  13. Go do something you’ve always wanted to do. Whether it’s indoor skydiving, getting a tattoo, dying your hair chartreuse, taking a knitting class, or taking a salsa lesson. Use this time to cross something off your bucket list!
  14. Go volunteer! Nothing gets you out of your feelings faster than selfless service to others!
  15. Do absolutely nothing! Go to sleep at 4 pm on Friday and don’t get out of bed until Monday morning. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life and constant societal pressures. Sometimes, we just need to reset and recoup!

With these ideas, you can have a great Halloween all by yourself!
