With Halloween just around the corner, everyone is getting into the spooky mood. This year, why not join in and have a little fun? There are so many Halloween activities to help get you in the mood. Here are a few:

1. Pumpkin Painting

I love pumpkin painting because you can do any design and have a pretty decoration around for a little bit before the pumpkin rots.

2. Go to a Corn Maze

They may be creepy, but they're super fun.

3. Make Spooky Caramel Apples

Caramel apples are such a good treat.

4. Have a Halloween Movie Marathon

Would it truly be Halloween without the horror classics or other nostalgic films like "Hocus Pocus"?

5. Have a Ghost Story Night

Gather a couple or a lot of friends and just spend the night eating snacks and telling each other ghost stories! It's really fun to get creative and scary with each other. Or you could spend the night finding the creepiest ghost stories and telling them to each other. And if you want to get real spooky, find a haunted area near you and go ghost-hunting. (Just don't break any laws)

6. Host a Costume Party

Costume parties are always fun and if you find you have the time and motivation to do it, then why not try hosting one? It could be a big party or it could just be a group of you and your friends getting together and having your own little costume fun.

7. Go to a Haunted House

Around Halloween, you're bound to find haunted houses at least somewhere near you. It'll be fun to take a group of friends with you and try to get through the house without getting spooked at least once.

8. Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin carving is one of the best signs that Halloween is here. This year, trying finding outrageous designs and try to recreate them with your friends.

9. Host a Murder Mystery Game

Ever heard of "Clue"? I'm sure most of you have, but for those who haven't, it's a game (and movie) centered around a mysterious murder and the others have to find clues to solve the mystery. Basically, it's "Whodunnit?" So, get some friends together and organize a faux murder mystery, I bet it would be super fun.

10. "Guess The Film" Game

Get some friends together for a game night and start the night with this. What you'll be doing is playing charades, except you'll be trying to act out classic (or modern) horror movies and seeing if your friends can guess them.

11. "Guess What's In The Box" Game

One last thing to do on this list is a classic activity. Amp this game up a bit and make it a spooky version. Get a simple box and put any object in there (objects that won't inflict pain or cause trouble, at least). For example, put spaghetti with meatball eyes (fake of course) or a skull in there to represent the Halloween fun and take turns trying to guess what's in the box. You can make it a competition and play for several rounds.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
