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

https://www.pexels.com/photo/halloween-themed-jack-o-lantern-lamp-near-october-31-calendar-1480861/

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.

Does anyone else think of Jack from Scooby Doo: Goblin King? No. Me either.

Jack! The Pumpkin king!

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

Tangled. If you've seen, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, check out the music video.

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

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

8228

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

Widener University

Bridgaline Liberati

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

"I've only slept nine hours over the past four days, so I'm right on the verge of a nervous breakdown." - Leslie Knope

By: James McDonald

The transition into adulthood is never easy

1. "Unlimited Freedom!"

2. "Dorm Life!"

3. "Never mind, where is my apartment?"

4. "Whose idea was this 8 AM?"

5. I'm so looking forward to that nap."

6. "I don't have the brain capacity for this"

7. "Wow, college is great"

It's easier than you think.

1. Look into Housing and Dining.

2. Pay attention to campus postings.

3. Find common interest groups.

4. Join an intramural sports team.

5. Work on a cause that you care about.

6. Join a club related to your major.

7. Get an on-campus job.

8. Volunteer.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

1. You need people to hang out with.

2. You don’t want to be stuck alone eating lunch or dinner.

3. Weekends suck without anyone to share them with.

4. College will be miserable for you.

5. Finding a roommate for the following year will be impossible.

6. You need someone to talk to about personal stuff or homework that isn’t your mom.

7. Classes will be boring and quiet for you if you don’t know anyone.

8. Walking around campus is just awkward.

9. Homework help and study buddies do not exist.
