12 Things You Learn About People On Halloween
Wall Street Journal

Though Halloween is all about being someone else, you can actually tell a lot about a person's true self by their Halloween preferences and habits.

1. How much they love candy.

Or if they don't like candy. (In which case, they should be avoided at all costs.)

2. Just how big of a scaredy cat they really are.

And whether or not they can handle a scary movie.

3. If they don't know how to have fun.

And refuse to wear a costume because its "uncool".

4. If Halloween is just about looking cute for them.

Guilty.

5. If they try really hard to be clever.

But end up wearing costumes that nobody understands.

6. Or if they have way too much time on their hands.

But always wear a costume you're totally jealous of.

7. When they're in denial about being too old to trick or treat.

And take advantage of their younger siblings to get candy.

8. If they're super creative (and also have way too much time on their hands).

Seriously, though, how long did that take.

9. If they don't understand what qualifies as good treats to pass out.

Oh, they're that house.

10. Who seriously wants to die.

And is just plain reckless.

11. When they know what's up.

We can be friends.

12. And when they just can't be trusted.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
