Halloween is near, and that means it is time for massive preparations! Folks, get out your pumpkins and candy because it is go time. I am a huge Halloween fan; I always have been and I always will be. No one will take my Halloween spirit from me. Get out the movie Hocus Pocus and let's go. My family and I have some traditions that we try to do each year. I'm sure you can relate.

One tradition that my parents and I do is to carve a pumpkin. I'm not one of those girls who is afraid to get my hands inside that pumpkin. It's going down for real. Usually I say, "step aside Dad, it's my time to shine." I love saving some of the pumpkin seeds and baking them. It makes a great snack! And it is healthy and nutritious!

Another tradition my parents and I usually do is play Halloween songs. Really the only one we play is called "Monster Mash;" It is a classic, and if you have not heard this song, Google it. I don't disappoint, so go for it.

The last tradition that occurs at this lovely Halloween time is hanging out candy! This is my favorite part. I did this more in high school because I was home, but hopefully one year in college Halloween will fall on a day that I can actually witness this magical time. I love handing out candy because, duh! You get to eat some of the candy.

I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween! Stay safe, eat candy, and remember to carve your pumpkin!

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.
