5 Things I Learned On Halloween Night
CandyCrate

Halloween is a season consisting of spookiness, jump-scares, and a lot of candy. On Halloween night, we all act like such savages for candy as if we have never received candy ever in our life. Although candy can be seen as a very materialistic thing, who doesn't want those full size Twix bars? Everyone loves to dress up in their favorite costumes and Halloween is such a festive and fantastic holiday/celebration. If only we had the day after Halloween as a day off from school. There are also some very extraordinary and interesting things that occur on October 31st, Halloween night. Here are 5 of the most important things I learned on Halloween night;

1. Kids will do anything for candy

Whether it comes to pushing or shoving, there's no kid that doesn't find delight in that piece of chocolate/candy. Kids will literally steal the entire bucket of candy in front of someone's house even though the sign says "please only take one". Yeah, you thought. One, more like one-hundred.

2. The people who go full on "extra"

Who has the time to twin on Halloween? Heck, who even has the time to dress up? When it comes to dressing up, the people that find all matching costumes and are characters from a popular show are truly "extra". Okay they look great, but who has time for all that these days? Not me, for sure. Shout out to all the people who do, as you have truly captivated the spirit of Halloween.

3. Traffic is terrible

Ah, possibly the worst part about going Trick or Treating. The traffic. Especially in neighborhoods like country clubs, the traffic could not be worse. The parents having to stop their car at every house because their kid has to go get candy at every surrounding house. Ugh. It's just so annoying. Shout out to the people that walk instead of drive on Halloween night.

4. Parent's pity

Possibly the most important thing I learned on Halloween. Parents definitely take pity on little kids that wear cute costumes. They get more candy, more affection, and just the much better benefit. I know right, so NOT fair? It's okay, though, Halloween definitely isn't about the candy, am I right?

5. Bigger house = bigger surprise

When you encounter a big house on Halloween, you know you're also going to be hit with a lot of big surprises. From the huge KitKat bar to the roasted marshmallows on the bonfire, there's just so much to look forward to. Oh, and don't forget the jump scares. Someone from the large house is ought to wear a really scary costume and scare you as soon as you take a step near the house. Go BIG on halloween night!

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.
