The struggles and the triumphs

Halloweek as Told by GIFs

You have been meaning to buy your Halloween costumes all month. Even worse, you have been meaning to brainstorm ideas all year but never got around to it.

It is time to retrieve your costume box which has everything you could need.

But most of it has been ruined from last year's Halloweek shenanigans. 

So you consider just throwing on some animal ears and calling it good.


But you know you are better than that.

So you start getting crafty. Glitter is involved.

But you realize it's hard to tell what you are. People are going to need lots of:

You don't expect drunk people to understand your artistic genius, but that's their problem.

So you go out for night one of Halloweek!

But while you are out, the question you answer all night is:

You realize everyone is wearing animal ears or not dressed up at all. Meanwhile you're like:

The next morning you are disappointed in your peers creativity but resolve not to back down.

You get your friends on board.

But it requires that no one bails, everyone must be in sync.

But someone bails per usual.

Now you must decide: do we find a replacement or just pre game 'til we don't care what we are wearing?

The answer is obvious: 

You do not remember what happened after that. But you do remember the walk home in the morning. Old people will judge.

But you don't care! All bets are off during Halloweek.

You have two nights of experience under your belt; you give in and hit up party city.

The only problem is that nothing good is left. You have your pick of a baby egg costume or a horse costume made for two giants.

It is time to revisit the idea of animal ears. 

But you know what? You have a great night and when you discover you lost that pair of bunny ears it's just like:

Now, it is Halloween night. The main event. 



PSA:

November 1st marks the beginning to Halloweek preparation for the upcoming year. 

November 1st: You think about your week of costumes.

You made so many friends this week from having such clever costumes.

You begin to realize you are never going to be able to top those costumes.

But that's okay! You have a whole year to come up with ideas!

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.
