Halloween is around the corner, and you'e probably sitting around looking for the perfect costume to wear to Sixth Street or the West Campus party you are going to. But remember when you were a kid and all you could think of was going trick-or-treating? The only downside to trick-or-treating was getting stuck with the rejects, the candy no one wanted. Throwing it back to our childhood, here are the 20 worst candies you got as a kid.

20. Smarties

Although I personally love Smarties, it was kind of annoying having so many of these appear. You could never get rid of them.

19. Almond Joy

Either be an almond, coconut or chocolate, not all three.

18. FireBall

To this day, I don't understand why these exist and why people actually like them.

17. Bottle Caps

Every year, I would give them a chance, and always regretted it.

16. Taffy (that wasn't Laffy Taffy)

If it isn't Laffy Taffy, why would a kid want it?

15. Lemonheads

Like the FireBalls, these shouldn't be given to children.

14. Dum Dums

Like the Smarties, they never seem to end.

13. 3 Musketeers

These have a weird texture to them and were always in my reject pile.

12. Milk Duds

You would either trade a whole bunch of these for decent candy, or give them to your parents.

11. Good & Plenty

Anything with licorice shouldn't be given out.

10. Whoppers

They look like chocolate balls but don't taste like them.

9. Gum (Dubble Bubble)

They lose flavor in a couple of minutes and then they get hard to chew.

8. Raisins

They aren't candy, so why would people give them out?


7. Hard Candy (Old Fashioned)

These were the majority of the reject pile or the last ones you always ate.

6. Swedish Fish

I'd rather get Sour Patch Kids instead.

5. Butterscotch Candy

These also go in the old-fashioned candy category. You would either throw them away or give them to your parents.

4. Bit-o-Honey

They are so chewy, it's not even worth it.

3. Candy from last year

You can just tell when people give you candy from last year or another season.

2. Candy Corn

They're addicting, but getting unwrapped candy is never fun.

1. Tootsie Rolls

You could never avoid these and there were hundreds of them. When did you ever buy any?

Of course, not all candy was bad. You would get the occasional king-sized candy bar, chips, and even money.

What was your worst Halloween candy as a child?

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.

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.
