From A-Z, Here's Your Guide To Halloween

Halloween is a popular holiday that is celebrated throughout the world. It originated from Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival. People during the festival would light bonfires, and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. When Pope Gregory the third designated November 1 as All Saints Day incorporated some of the Samhain Traditions. The evening before All Saints Day was called All Hallows Eve, but later was called Halloween instead. Here's a guide to Halloween.

Autumn is the best season, in my opinion. I love Autumn for various reasons; temperature, the holidays, and the beauty of it; to name a few.

Candy is one of the best things about Halloween. Be careful with cemeteries. You never know who or what you will come across.

You can do so much with face paint. Some people can do so much cool things with face paint and makeup. Bravo to you because I don't have that talent.

If you've never been to a haunted house, you should. And working at an haunted house is a lot of fun.

I: Ice Cream

Because why not? Ice cream is so good, and you can eat the candy that you get with the ice cream.

And at last I see the light. And it's like the sky is new. And it's warm and real and bright.

Pumpkin seeds are good! If you've never had pumpkin seeds, you should try them. Painting and carving pumpkins are fun as well. Growing up, I carved pumpkins, but now I would rather paint them.

Q: Queen

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1987

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

No one best represents the struggle like our favorite 90s squad.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

2. When there is only one section of a popular course.

3. Receiving the 18,000 emails reminding you to register ASAP.

4. When you need to see an advisor, but they are too busy/unresponsive.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
