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

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!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. 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.

"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.

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.
