Trick or Treating is awesome, but sometimes there're those types of treats that feel more like tricks, they're so gross. Like, who actually wants these when there's Reese's and York patties and Blowpops to be had?

1. Whoppers

Forever the leftovers at the bottom of the mixed candy bowls, only a few people actually enjoy these little balls of pointlessness.

2. Bit-O-Honey

It sticks to the paper and is the color of snot. It also sticks in your teeth afterward with a vengeance.

3. Lemonheads

Because I always wanted to make my mouth bleed with so-called candy the flavor of lemon Pledge dusting spray!

4. Werther's Caramels

Normally these are yummy, but nothing screams "I forgot candy so I just picked these leftovers from last Christmas off my side table for you" like Werther's Caramels.

5. Mary Janes

To quote Tim Hawkins, "They taste like peanut butter and hair."

6. Good and Plenty

More like "Nope and Nopety." Unless you are one of those black souls who likes jelly beans the color of your soul, boxes of Good and Plenty are good for nothing except maybe maracas.

7. Unwrapped Circus Peanuts

Just why would you even subject me to something that is essentially flavored styrofoam that's been touched by all the other Trick or Treaters that have passed through.

8. Wax anything (lips, fangs)

Chewing crayons might take less time and gives the same effect, anyway.

9. Jelly beans

This is NOT EASTER, PEOPLE.

10. Necco Wafers

They smell like CVS and aren't smarties, so, no thanks.

11. Candy Canes

Some of us wait 'til after Thanksgiving for Christmas, you know.

12. Raisins

Raisins are NOT CANDY and INFECT CHOCOLATE with raisin flavor. DON'T BE THAT GUY.

13. Apples

Unless I'm bobbing for apples in a questionable container that's full of 80 percent water and 20 percent other people's saliva, like Lucy in "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," I'm good.

14. Anything that's not candy

Oh, of course, I dressed up to get a plastic glow-in-the-dark skeleton, a youth group tract, a toothbrush, a McDonald's toy, a lint-magnet of a bouncy ball and those jelly hand things that stick to the wall/collect dust. Thank you!

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
