It's late on Halloween night, and all you want to do is rush home and see your new stash of candy. You get home, run to your room, and dump the pillowcase out on your bed... and you see all the king sized candy bars, mini candies, and the few straggling sad sweets that we all know and hate. These treats are your worse nightmare and scare you more than the guy walking around with Chucky knife. Now you have to try and find someone willing to trade those awful tricky treats with you...

1. Mini Halloween-Shaped Pretzels

You know the ones I’m talking about... shaped like bats and spider webs. But, usually they are just stale and broken into tiny crumbs. So, you usually throw them away, or trade them with someone who has no taste in candy.

2. Loose Candy Corn

Not only is this really sketchy to just hand out handfuls of loose candy corn to kids, it’s just plain gross. I never have actually met anyone who really does like candy corn... Why do they still make it? Why do they make weird flavors that nobody should have ever thought of?

3. Smarties

if you ever wanted to voluntarily eat chalk that maybe had a slightly fruit flavor, then these are the perfect solution! *blegh*

4. Any Jolly Ranchers Besides Watermelon or Blue Raspberry

You know that the kids before you took all of the good flavors and left you with cherry, grape, and apple. Which honestly, aren’t worth the hype of Jolly Ranchers. Honestly, I’d rather have chocolate than hard candy.

5. Whoppers

No, not the burger...the malt candy balls that taste like melted cardboard with sugar on top. They also smell pretty weird when you eat them, which isn’t a great sign.

6. A Box of Rasins

I don’t know why so many adults think kids like rasins. They try to give them to us at school with lunch, and now they want to ruin our candy filled night with a small cardboard box of sad, wrinkly, drier than the desert grapes? I don’t think so.

7. Taffy

I’m not talking about salt water taffy, because that is a gift from the candy gods, but I’m taking about the random Halloween colored taffy that tastes like nothing but something all at once. This is a last resort.

8. Candy Sticks

Formally known as candy cigarettes, these are up there with smarties, as they taste like a piece of chalk. Thankfully, these also look like chalk and lack any kind of actual flavor!

9. A Toothbrush

Giphy

Kids don’t want to be reminded to brush their teeth, especially on a night where dental hygiene is not even thought about. Kids want to fill their mouths with sugar and sweets, and they have a night to do it. Why are you going to ruin it with your cute little toothbrush and toothpaste? Let them live!

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

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.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

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.
