Halloween is fun and all, but if you think about the concept of it, it's actually quite odd. People jump out and scream at you, little kids take candy from strangers, and college girls try to wear the least amount of clothing possible for a good insta post.

1. Random strangers scream at you 

People jump out of bushes and scream at you, and on Halloween, it's totally normal.

2. Little kids take candy from strangers

There's always those weird neighbors that hand out vegetables or other foods that aren't candy, though.

3. People wear ridiculous costumes and walk around in the streets at night

Any other day of the year this would lead to the police being called.

4. Girls (and sometimes guys, honestly) wear the least amount of clothing possible in 40 degree weather

No shame at all, but it's seriously cold outside, and usually people wear long sleeves in this weather.

5. People knock on your door and beg for food

Any other day of the year this would be extremely rude.

6. There are the same 5 costumes you see the entire day

For little kids, it's a princess or superhero. For teenagers, it's a devil/angel or a cat.

Although many odd things happen on October 31st, it's still really fun to get dressed up and eat way too much candy, no matter your age. Happy Halloween!

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.
