This year, the month of October is looking a little different, especially for Floridians like myself. There won't be Halloween Horror Nights at Universal, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney, trick or treating, haunted cornfields, and all the fun activities that usually come along with the month of Halloween.

However, it doesn't mean you can't still celebrate! Here are some easy and safe ways to get in the spooky spirit during a pandemic:

1. Have a Halloween movie night.

This is something you can do at home without having to be around people. Or have a few people over for it but stay socially distanced.

2. Carve pumpkins.

A fun activity that will definitely get you in a spooky mood.

3. Go to a drive-through haunted house.

These are a new thing, but they still let you enjoy a common activity during October while keeping everyone safe.

4. Host a virtual costume party.

Have fun getting dressed up with your friends while still staying home and not breaking any of the social distancing guidelines.

5. Bake Halloween cookies.

Make a fun treat and have a snack for your movie night.

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.
