Embracing A Spookier Life In 11 Steps

As we approach Halloween (although some people have elected to observe the entire month of October as the 31 Days of Halloween), you may feel that your life is lacking in spookiness. The average life is actually inundated with spookiness, but you may not notice unless you are attuned to the nature of spookiness. You may not currently be able to recognize anything less than the most blatantly spooky content. Taking these 11 steps towards an infinitely spookier existence will help you appreciate and become acclimated to the genuine spirit of Halloween.

1. Make sure you exercise.

Only exercise at night, though. And only exercise if you are wearing glow paint.

2. Write your lecture notes using this pen.

Remember, it's only a pen. But... it's not just any pen. Spooky.

3. Invest in a hoodie that allows you to swoop.

Swoop, swoop. In the night. Swoop is almost spook.

4. Sing The Monster Mash at the next coffee house open mic night.

After all the Ed Sheeran covers, the crowd will be begging to hear some classic Mash.

5. Next time someone asks you to glue something, use this fancy gluing technique.

Extra spooky adhesive strength!

6. Post this chilling Benjamin Franklin quote on a friend's Facebook wall.

And if they send you a message, respond only in pokes.

7. Only refer to drinks as "potions."

You don't have to create these convincing containers, but they add extra spooky points.

8. Invite all your friends over for a sleepover, and provide these for sleeping bags:

Cozy--and it reminds me of aliens.

9. But in the middle of the night, turn the pods into pumpkins.

If you don't know how, you aren't yet advanced enough in Spookology.

10. Your friends will create wonderful jack o' lanterns as they escape!

It's lit!

11. If you aren't already a skeleton at this point, you can still do this dance.

Ring around the spooky, a pocketful of spooky. Ashes, ashes. We all are spooky!

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.
