23 Activities That Won't Get You Into The Fall Mood In The Slightest

Fall has arrived! Time to watch “Hocus Pocus" and shotgun Pumpkin Spice Lattes, then and watch “Hocus Pocus" again because you were daydreaming about watching “Halloweentown" the first time. While your head is spinning with ideas for festive fall fun, don't forget about these key activities to avoid. If you are trying to get into the spooky cinnamon-scented spirit definitely do not:

1. Build a well.

2. Wite-Out the word “raven” in your local library’s copy of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe and replace all of the "raven"s with “Terminator 2.”

3. Text your casual hookup, "wut r we?"

4. Rip a gecko's tail off and document its regrowth using Morse code on a Lite-Brite.

5. Say "die" because you're not a Goonie and you never were.

6. Smash a precious vase in front of your reckless preteen to demonstrate that even your intense love for your most sentimental item pales in comparison to how much you care about them.

7. Save a kid that fell into the well you built.

8. Tape a picture of Zac Efron to your fork, stab of a piece of food and scream "Zac attack!"

9. Put a sign up by the well to ensure that it won't happen again.

10. Put the “fun” in "funeral" by performing “Landslide” and every time you say “slide,” slide the casket down a Slip 'N Slide.

11. Wonder how many people still own Zunes.

12. Make sure your realtor knows that you have eaten paella before.

13. Stare at your blank phone screen like the woman in this stock photo.

14. Google search "motorcycle and fire party" so that if you die, people think you were cooler than you actually are.

15. Build a wall around the well because youths continue to fall in.

16. Clap about carrots.

17. Try and explain the concept of corners to your boss so many times that she fires you.

18. Pretend to be reading a New York Times headline and say, "Kevin Bacon says, 'No more acting for me. I just won't do it!'" and watch your aunt have a heart attack.

19. Lose sleep trying to figure out why, despite your best efforts, a staggering percentage of neighborhood children are still ending up in the well.


20. Find out that your reckless preteen has been the one convincing the town's youths to jump into the well all along.

21. My god.

22. Smash the well to pieces to show your reckless preteen that the town's access to clean drinking water pales in comparison to the lives of the village children.

23. Carve a pumpkin because fall is fun. Get into it, ya freak!

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.
