20 Thoughts About Halloweekend From Someone Who Hates Halloween

I have never liked Halloween. Crippling social anxiety and knocking strangers' doors asking for candy for hours on end are not the greatest mix. Also, I'm a huge procrastinator, so costumes are either last-minute or nonexistent for me. Furthermore, I have really sensitive teeth so eating chocolate is rough. Lastly, I just really really really hate being scared. I think the gist has been sufficiently 'gotten.' This past weekend was what the youths these days call "Halloweekend", or the weekend during which Halloween is actually celebrated, and here are 20 thoughts I had during this year's spooky festivities.

1. Oh wow, I love October so much. All the fall foliage and cool weather and sweaters...

2. Wait, October means...

3. UGH HALLOWEEN

4. Everyone knows that Halloween= increased crime rates so I should just stay inside

5. Also I don't feel like making a costume so I should just stay inside.

6. Also, no one invited me to a Halloween party so I should just stay inside.

7. Candy corn is the only good thing about Halloween, tbh.

8. The internet is now flooded with articles bashing candy corn, the only thing I love.

9. Why is it so loud outside?

10. The hall smells like hairspray, vodka, and desperation

11. Wow, what a great title for my autobiography!

12. Okay fine, maybe I'll get into the spirit a little bit.

13. Let's watch a scary movie.

14. I've never seen "The Exorcist". That sounds like a light watch.

15. Honestly why is this girl possessed by a demon so relatable?

16. Why do I see so much of myself in her?

17. Why have I said some of these same lines?

18. I need to turn this off right now because this similarity is freaking me out more than the projectile vomiting.

19. Honestly, going to bed at 9 pm is a great way to celebrate.

20. How many days until Thanksgiving again??

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
