Halloween: Pumpkin fun picked out for you
Elizabeth Sanchez | October 29There are many people who hold Halloween recollections and traditions close to their hearts. From wearing costumes and watching Halloween classics with family, to making festive foods and decorating for parties, there is something for everyone. Perhaps one of the biggest highlights of Halloween, however, is pumpkin picking. Ezrah Jaramillo, a freshman nursing major, said when she goes pumpkin picking, she tends to choose large pumpkins with a curved stem. Afterward, she usually carves funny faces into the pumpkin, uses it as a decorative Jack o’ lantern and bakes the pumpkin seeds with oil for snacks, she said. “Picking pumpkins is fun for me, because it’s something I’ve done with my mom since I was a child. It’s a great memory to relive each year,” Jaramillo said.
