Hello October!

October is the time of year when the weather is just the right temperature and the holiday season is just getting started.

So how do you celebrate the month of October? Need some inspiration on how to make this month all it is cracked up to be? Check out our list of activities to try out in October!

1. Carve or Paint a Pumpkin! - Grab a group of friends, take a break from schoolwork, and get creative! Download free printable templates from online.
2. Decorate your Doors - Share you Halloween spirit with your neighbors by decorating your front door. If you want to get more value for your money, buy things that will last for future Halloweens.
3. Dress Up For Halloween - No matter what you choose to be for Halloween, it will be better than not dressing up! Whether you want to be a one person show, or you want to do group costumes, your choices are unlimited.
4. Do Fun Costume Makeup - Makeup is daily routine for many people, but on Halloween it means we let loose and get creative with it.
5. Watch Halloween Movies - Make a list of the Halloween movies you want to watch each night of October, or search your streaming device for Halloween related movies and add them to your watchlist.
6. Make a Halloween Playlist - From soundtracks of your favorite Halloween flicks to modern music, there is so much to choose from when it comes to a festive mix. Songs you must include are the Monster Mash, Thriller, Ghostbusters, The Addams Family theme song, and This is Halloween!
7. Host a Costume Party or Attend One - Seeing what people look like dressed up, can be the best part of Halloween!
8. Do Something Thrilling - Go to Halloween Horror Nights, a local Haunted House, Haunted Hayride, or even a Ghost Tour.
9. Buy Fall Candles and/or Air Scents - Make your room, entire apartment, or car smell like the season itself! Many places have holiday sales going on.
10. Make Holiday Treats – Pumpkin flavored everything! Try out some holiday favorites like pumpkin bread and caramel apples.

We hope you have a Spook-tacular October and find time to try out all the fun activities on this list! Don’t forget to contact the Leasing Office to ask about saving money on next year’s lease by renewing early! 

Where Did Summer Go?

Sep 01, 2017

With Labor Day just a few days away, it is official…summer is coming to an end.

Hopefully you finished filling your bucket list, because as the fun of summer sets in the distance the fun of the new school year rises.

It seems like it wasn’t that long ago that the start of school was a combination of the excitement of back to school shopping and the anxiety of a new classroom. Things are different now, aren’t they? This year there might not be a new wardrobe coming (and if there is it’s filled with Vandals gear) and you’re in a new classroom every hour. 

This year anxiety is replaced with just excitement. This is your year. This year, you can do anything. Set your goals high and achieve them. Then, set them higher and watch as you impress even yourself.

There’s a new year in front of you and we are here to help you have the full University of Idaho student housing experience while you are in Moscow!

Be sure to check out our September events calendar in the office to get your year off to an exciting start!  

End of Summer Bucket List

Aug 08, 2017

Every time summer gets here, we can’t wait to get our bucket list made that will include all our best adventures for the summer, trying out new things, and living life carefree. With less than 30 days left of summer, for most of us, now is the perfect time to fit in any last minute bucket list items you had! Summer ’17 has been all about time spent with family and friends, preparing ourselves for the upcoming school year, and doing things we never thought possible last summer. All in all, it has been one for the books! Time to go out with a bang!

Here are a few last minute bucket list items you can add to your impressive list-

1. Enjoy live music at your county or state fair
2. Cook everything on a grill & invite your friends over for a fun night
3. Take a nap in a hammock
4. Watch/catch the fireflies at dusk
5. Take a family (or friends) photo just because
6. Do a three-day technology detox (that means no social media!)
7. Read 3 books off the NYT best seller’s list
8. Fly a kite
9. Clean out your closet and declutter around the house
10. Take a trip to the zoo or aquarium
11. Attend a baseball game & splurge on the good seats
12. Dance in the rain instead of running inside to avoid it
13. Have an all-day Netflix move marathon
14. Volunteer locally
