So with Halloween here, I have seen some hypocritical things being posted. So I decided to make a list of hypocritical things people say, or do. I am not saying some of these don't apply to me, I and just pointing out some things. I am warning you that most are about religious groups so you have been warned.

1. Halloween a Pagan Holiday.

I have heard of many Christians deciding not to celebrate Halloween because its a Pagan holiday. But Christmas started as a Pagan holiday. There is plenty of evidence in The Bible suggesting Jesus was not born in the winter at all. Christians wanted a day to celebrate his birth, but had no exact date. So the date that was chosen was the pagan holiday Dies Natalis Solis Invicti. Many believe they choose this date to Christianize the pagan holiday.

2. Mean Christians

I am talking about the Phelps mainly. But there are many Christians who preach kindness, but some are the rudest people. Just because you go to church every Sunday, does not make you automatically a good person. It does not grant you access to Heaven. It does help, but if you are the rude lady who yells at a retail worker for no reason or for a reason they can't control, you are breaking even.

3. Cheaters Mad at Cheating

I have not personally dealt with this one but I know many people have. CHEATING IS BAD NO MATTER WHAT! But there have been people who cheat and then get mad when they get cheated on. We all see the problem there.

4. Criticizing People At The Gym

We praise people who decide they want to make a change in their life. We encourage people to eat healthy and work out. But then you make fun of the "fat" person at the gym. You make fun of the man who is trying to figure out the machine across the room. You make fun of the girl who signed up for the yoga class.

5. Saying Racist Things, But Shaming Others Who Do.

This is one that is close to home. I personally would not say any derogatory terms to anyone. But I have been called a racist for no reason at all. I have seen many people who say derogatory terms to friends and such, but as soon as someone they don't like says it they are shamed. Stop fighting each other because of race, stand together and fight the issues.

6. Using A Death To Riot

When a man is killed by a cop, specifically a black man, protests ensue. Now I only mention the race because I know there have been white, Native American, and Latinos killed, but what protests occur? Anyways, there have been a few times there were protest against police brutality have turned to riots. They protest the illegal actions of police officers but then go and rob and set stores on fire.

7. Saying You Care About The Earth, But Not Putting In Any Effort To Help.

I love the ocean as many of you know. Once I did my first open water dive, I was hooked. But I know the reefs are slowly dying. We liter them with trash, we don't do the small things that in the long run could help. We don't recycle, we don't reuse things and we don't cut back on the gas we use. We are slowly killing our planet, but we don't try and protect it. Stop the mass fishing, stop killing animal for no reason and stop littering.

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.
