5 Safety Tips For Halloween
WALLPAPER ZONE

To my monsters out there, stay safe!

Here it is! Halloween! One of the best holidays of the year. The day where people can get creative and use their imagination to create or buy their costumes! Even though this is one of the best holidays to celebrate, let's go over several safety tips for an awesome Halloween night!


SAFETY TIP #1

USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM

Whether you are going to go trick or treating or just going to the restroom from dancing on the dancefloor, you MUST always use the buddy system! Having someone with you is a safe bet because you are less likely to be harmed or bothered if a friend is with you.


SAFETY TIP #2

CHECK THE SWEETS

If you are going to go trick or treat with your friends or with your children, always check your bag of goodies because you never know if there will be harmful substances.



SAFETY TIP #3

BE LIT!!!

The night of Halloween can get pretty dark, so if you're going around the neighborhood, make sure you have glow in the dark sticks or illuminating objects with you, so you do not get yourself hurt. I bought several glow in the dark sticks at Dollar Tree; they are pretty cheap and work well!



SAFETY TIP #4

CANDY! CANDY! CANDY!

Even if you are not going out or not going to go trick or treating, please do not forget a bag of candy! I forgot to get a bag of candy last year and there were cute little trick or treaters that showed up to my doorstep, and the children were not happy. So, instead of giving them candy, I gave them Instant Ramen noodles (college life). Please, I beg of you please, go buy a bag of candy! Children love to dress up and receive candy for their costumes. Trust me, the children will stay at your doorstep until they receive a piece of candy. So, do not forget a bag of candy and do not forget to compliment on their costumes.


SAFETY TIP #5

SELFIES!!

When you take a selfie, make sure you are free from traffic and you take a selfie in an open area. Selfies are cute and fun but there will be people walking on the streets, so be aware of your surroundings. Nobody likes a stump pumpkin in the middle of the road.



So have fun my ghoulish monsters, until next time!! Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN! MWAHAHAHA!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
