Halloween night is drawing near and although that means fun, it also means stress. For many of us, costume creativity does not come easily or naturally. It takes much dedication, countless Google searches, and Pinterest idea stalking to come up with the costume we will wear for one night only. The struggle of choosing a costume and then successfully pulling it off is a dilemma of the fall season. Many technicalities and potential situations play into the decision-making process. Here are just a few of the potential problems one may run into during the week leading up to Halloween 2015:

1. Freaking out because you have no idea what to do and you have less than a week left.

2. Scouring the Internet and asking around for inspiration.

3. Still freaking out three days later because you still have no clue what to wear.

4. Deciding between attractiveness or comfort.

5. Tracking the weather to see if you’ll need a jacket.

6. But what if you lose the jacket? No jacket.

7. Figuring out the cheapest way to put together this costume.

8. OK. So heels or flats?

9. Definitely heels. But what about the hike home uphill? Flats.


10. Wait...what if people can't tell what my costume is?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
