5 Things You Must Do Before Halloween
Scott Moore

The Halloween season seems to go by so fast.

As the date approaches, it seems like there are so many things you want to do with your friends and family that you have done in the past. However, you may be finding that class workloads are getting heavier and the time in a day, or even the weekend, does not contain enough hours for you to fully do everything you want to do to celebrate this holiday correctly. However, this is a list of five simple things that you can do to put you in the Halloween mood!

1. Get A Costume!

Whether you are going to a Halloween party or trick-or-treating, a costume of any sort will most likely come in handy during this season. You don't have to spend $60 at a costume store, you can just throw something together at home, but make sure you have an idea. Especially if you're in college, there are many events that will most likely involve costumes. By getting a costume, it will make you feel more apart of the festivities and get into the Halloween spirit!

2. Decorate!

Decorating is a fun for any holiday! You can go to the craft store and get stick on decorations for your window and door. If you're in a dorm room setting it will definitely get the whole floor in the mood for Halloween!

3. Watch All of the Old Halloween Movies

From the Halloweentown sequels to The Addams Family, there are many movies that are considered tradition to watch during the Halloween season. As much as you can, try to watch as many movies as possible. In doing so, you will bring back memories of your childhood, while adding a fun thing to your Halloween activities. It is also a great way to interact with floor mates in your dorm and hang out!

4. Eat Candy Corn!

You might not think about this one as a "must do," but candy corn is THE classic candy associated with Halloween. Personally, it is not my favorite candy, but it still helps me to remember that it Halloween is approaching. Even if you only get one bag, it will still leave you with the feeling of Halloween.

5. Go to as Many Halloween Attractions as Possible!

There are many spooky and fun attractions.Colleges will have different activities, such as pumpkin painting. On the weekend, you and your friends and/or family can try to go to corn mazes and haunted hayrides. Depending on your schedule, you may be limited to this option, but try to go as much as possible. Attractions are so much fun and create amazing memories with friends and family!

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.
