Once a year, we all get to be something or someone we aren’t. There is something extremely fun and satisfying about dressing up in a costume and getting to live a different life, even if it is just for one night. Who says you need a nursing degree to be a nurse? On Halloween, you can be a nurse and shove candy corn down your throat while you're at it. Here are five reasons halloween will forever be the best holiday.

1. You get to pig out on candy with zero judgment

Everyone goes ham on the candy so there is no room for judgment. Eating your weight in Twix bars at least once during the halloween season is pretty much mandatory.

2. The best parties are Halloween parties

Why does alcohol taste better when you are dressed up in a costume? The world may never know, but we definitely are not complaining.

3. You get to let your decorating skills run free

Stringing up orange lights and making fake spider webs is the best, and seeing other houses show off their decor skills is an added bonus.

4. The costumes... Obviously

Picking out the perfect costume is one of the biggest thrills of Halloween. You go through an emotional roller coaster - should I play it safe and be a cat, or should I spice it up and go for something more unique? Getting to see the fun, crazy costumes everyone comes up with is exciting too.

5. Everything is pumpkin flavored

Yes, that is right. The best flavor in the history of flavors comes out to play during the halloween season. This is the time to load up on Bath and Body Works pumpkin scented candles and body sprays, and, obviously, pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks!

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.
