6 Reasons Why Halloween Is The Best
The Londony

As October hit, everyone posts about how much they love Halloween. Because well, fall is one of those great seasons. Thanksgiving, sweaters, warm drinks, the smells, and most importantly: HALLOWEEN.

I may not be the only Halloween fanatic, so here is 6 reasons why Halloween is the best.

1. COSTUMES

One of the better parts about Halloween is that you can be anyone you want to be for one night. The possibilities are endless of what you could be, I'm pretty sure one of my friends, Makena, has gone as a piece of bacon for three years in a row. (She's ironically vegetarian.) Most of the time it's always a struggle for me to choose what to be, even if I am eighteen, I love dressing up as something I'm not! It'll be super cool to see others costumes! (Look our for me as the one and only Peter Pan).

2. Candy

For the most part, the candy is great but it's always expensive. But unlike Valentine's Day, Halloween also has candy for half off the day after, so you get endless amounts of candy. But any type of candy is the best especially the spooky kind that you can eat and become merry.

3. Spooky Memes

This could probably be explained in a few gifs, because the better part of Halloween is all about the spooky memes! 2sp00ky4me

4. Spooky Decorations

The best part about is that you can carve pumpkins with awesome designs from Nightmare Before Christmas or even Cheshire Cat, the choices for carving pumpkins could go on and on! Also the smells around this time kind of just remind you of fall or autumn. It's the only time it's perfectly accepted for me to buy black cat stuffed animal with it holding a Jack-o-lantern as well as a random fake skull (I have one sitting in dorm on our microwave, his name is Jeffery).


5. Movies

Most likely one of my favorite parts about Halloween is the awesome homey time movies you can watch, I know some years I've gone without watching Halloweentown and it just never felt right! I will either have to find something else to watch or just watch it, but watching anything from Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Mom's Got A Date With A Vampire, etc. it ultimately makes the holiday a lot more cool as well as fun! I remember one year I was sick with the flu on Halloween and I watched Halloweentown as well as the three Halloween movies the spooky setting is always a classic and I most likely will always watch 'em!

6. It's Cool

Some people don't like Halloween, but I love the idea of being fictional person for a night and being able to get a bunch of candy and eating it all and having a belly ache while watching some good 'ole Halloween flicks! It's a super cool way to spend your time as well as munching on a Carmel Apple!


Most importantly though, stay safe this Halloween! Although a fun holiday, there can be some stupid people out there who will try to ruin it for you!


HAVE A FUN AND SPOOKY HALLOWEEN SEASON KIDDOS!

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.
