Halloweekend is upon us all, and whether it's a two-day or five-day event, the stress is real. Between the costumes and candy, it's easy to be overwhelmed. Are you going as a sweet angel or maybe a devil? With the ability to be whoever you want to be, the possibilities are endless. So here's to a Halloweekend to remember... or not.


1. Realizing that Halloween is only a week away.

Midterms are done and all of a sudden you realize that Halloween is only a week again! You haven't thought of any costume ideas, and for some reason you've already lost all the theme clothing you brought with you. Time to start panicking!


2. Spending more time Amazon Prime-ing yourself things you probably don't need over studying

You'll eventually use all that body glitter, not to mention that 12-pack of every animal ears that you could think of, and for one-day shipping, it's totally worth it! Your parents may call asking if your account got hacked, but we know it's for a good cause.


3. Having meetings to make sure that everyone knows what the group costume is

Nothing says true friendship than like a mandatory meeting to discuss costumes. I mean are we matching or not? It's a Halloween essential!



4. Calling your parents to have them send you something last minute

Remember that cute costume you wore to the Halloween party senior year? Well, imagine how good it would look at your first college Halloween. Doesn't matter that it's almost midnight, I'm sure your parents would be more than happy to go through all your old clothes to find it!


5. The internal struggle of doing an individual costume or matching with a friend

You and your best friend would make two hot bunnies, but what about that cheetah costume you have?! Good thing there enough days to do both!


6. Figuring out what frats to go to

With so many options, it's hard to choose. You can try to hit them all, but you should probably rank your preferences in order. Do you stick with what you know best, or venture to a new one? If there's any time to try something new, it's Halloween!


7. Participating in the Halloween diet

Candy, candy, and more candy. Thanks for the care package mom and dad!


8. Making it through the school week

Essay due on Monday and a Spanish test on Tuesday, but all you're thinking of is what day to wear what costume. Priorities.


9. Getting ready to go out

Classes are done and you haven't slept enough, but there's no time for rest. There is fake blood to be applied and pictures to take. Is it too early to start the pregame at 8?


10. Dancing the night away with your best friends

Halloween is a magical time where you can be whoever you want and get away with things you might not have been able to do before. But we all know that the best memories are usually spent on elevated surfaces with your best friends.


11. Getting ready to do it all again next year

You're overtired and probably a little sick. You had some good nights and probably a bad one too, but you always know there's next year and you can't wait to do it all over again!

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.
