Why Halloween Is The Worst Holiday

I am elated when most holidays come around; Christmas and Valentine's Day happen to be my favorites. However, when it comes to Halloween I am the biggest of grinches. Here is why:

1. There is way too much pressure to have a witty or a eccentric costume. I could never come up with something this awesome

2. And if you are not one of the two, then your costume is most likely the highest degree of trash.

3. People are pretty crazy in general, but for some reason Halloween brings out a whole other level of crazy in everyone.

4. Almost everyone you know will be throwing a Halloween party, which means you’ll have to pick which of your friends you like the most. Rude.

5. Even worse is not getting invited to any party at all. That’s just ego crushing.

6. For 31 days all that plays on television are terrifying, demented, sick and twisted horror films. Stephen King, you are a monster.

7. The fact that I know everyone is pretending to like candy corn- you people cannot possibly find that excuse of a candy delicious.

.

8. Halloween decorations are ugly and gross. Spiders? Eyeballs?? Bloody detached limbs??? Um, no thanks!

9. You have to be extra wary of your chocolate and the fact that there cold be RAZOR BLADES in them for Pete’s sake.

Call me what you want folks, but little kids running around the streets at night time begging for hundreds of pieces of candy while dressed like Spider-Man just isn't my thing. I will be hibernating this coming weekend, so I will see you all in November!

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.
