Halloweekend, Let's Go!

5 Differences Between Halloween in High School v.s College
Plus Quotes

After being in college for almost two months, I’ve already noticed that college is definitely on another level than high school. Although, this weekend will be my first experience of “Halloweekend,” I can already anticipate the distinct differences I will see when I go out.

1. No dress codes.

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen! No need to cover up because you know people will be flaunting what they got. I know it’s up to you to decide what you want to wear, but please remember that it’s going to be freezing outside.

2. No trick-or-treating.

Sadly, we are grown adults now (unless you're short like me and people still think you’re in middle school), which means no more going around your neighborhood and getting free candy. I guess, technically, you can still try to go around your dorms, but I wouldn’t take candy from a random college student (if you know what I mean).

3. More than one costume.

Halloweekend means going out on both Friday and Saturday night! Remember to plan two costumes, unless you want to wear the same outfit two nights in a row, which is acceptable for Halloween I guess.

4. No fancy costumes.

Ain’t nobody got time to make an awesome costume! Also, your costume will probably fall apart throughout the night, so don’t go for anything too expensive that you don’t want to lose.

5. FUN FUN FUN!

Unlike that lame high school Halloween party you went to, college Halloween parties are going to be way better. Go out, have fun, and enjoy yourself while you can! Halloween is that one time of the year you are accepted for dressing however you want.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
