8 Reasons Why Halloween Is The Best Holiday

The time is here, it's finally October! With that being said, it's time for one of the best holidays around. You guessed it, it's Halloween!

I

If you're anything like me, you started planning your Halloween costume since the beginning of September. Or let's be honest, you probably started planning at the end of Halloween last year.

Whether or not you dress up, Halloween is an awesome holiday for multiple reasons. Here are a few reasons why Halloween is the best holiday around.

1. You get to play dress up.

Admit it, the best part of Halloween is dressing up. I mean sure, you can dress up like a ninja turtle every day of the year, but doing it on October 31st is a lot easier to explain.

2. Free candy.

This one is an obvious one. I mean, you can eat candy all year but nothing beats free candy on Halloween. Even after Halloween, stores have large sales of candy and getting a giant bag of M&Ms for $2 is what I like to call a great deal!

Let's not forget that candy corn is also a thing.

3. Scary movies

Every year I look forward to the long scary movie marathons on TV. Not to mention that October is a great time for new scary movies to be released in theaters. If you are a horror lover like me, Halloween is the best time for some extra spooks.

4. Haunted Houses

Halloween is the perfect time to go visit a haunted house. I love walking around town and seeing different signs advertising the many haunted houses around the area. If you aren't too big on getting scared, it's always fun to go with friends and watch them go from brave to scaredy-cat.

5. Great for all ages.

Holidays such as Christmas are funner when you are younger and believe in things like Santa. Halloween is an all-around great holiday no matter what age you are. Whether you're a child who wants to trick-or-treating, or an adult who wants to hit the parties, there is something for everyone to do on Halloween.

6. Pumpkin carving, oh my!

Let's not forget the pumpkins! Going to a pumpkin patch is a great activity to do with your loved one. Pick up your big orange pumpkin, take it home, and turn it into a masterpiece. Whether you like traditional pumpkin faces or a more creative look, pumpkin carving is a great activity to do!

7. Halloween stores

Ask any of my friends, if we go out and I see a Halloween store, I'm definitely going to take a look around. Halloween stores carry a large variety of costumes and decor, not only giving you an idea of what to dress up as, but also giving you a good pass time. I love going into Halloween stores and activating all of the creepy robotic monsters.

8. Fun

Halloween is such a fun holiday. You get to dress up, eat candy, and get the pants scared right off of you. What could be better?


You may only enjoy Halloween for the candy or use it as an excuse to dress up, but either way, there is no denying that Halloween is the best holiday around! Get your broom and wand ready, Halloween is coming to town!

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.
