It's About To Be Spooky Time, Get Ready

Yes, it is August, and it IS time to get started decorating, celebrating. I mean, yes, it totally is only less than a 100 days away and I should have totally started earlier, but it's okay, I can catch up.

Technically, Autumn doesn't start until like September 22, but Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte (AKA PSL) arrives in stores September. I have to prepare for this. I just can't one day get over my summer iced coffee and into a fall iced coffee, I have to ease into it.

Spooky time should be year round. Ghouls, ghosts, and witches? Sounds like my normal wardrobe anyway. I mean the Sanderson Sister's who? Don't you mean me, myself and I?

So we have to get ready for it, but how?

1. Watch Scary Movies

Giphy

Yes, scary movies are good all year, but to really get you into the Spooky Time spirit, gotta watch the OG scary movies.

2. Watch Spooky Movies

Giphy

Now that the horror is out, now you can watch the fun scary movies. Scream anyone? You have 5 to choose from.

3. Pumpkin anyone?

Giphy

Pumpkin flavored anything. LITERALLY ANYTHING. Coffee? Yes. Donuts? Yep. Candles? You betcha. Pumpkins? Of course. Decorative, edible, smashable, carvable. Pumpkins can do MANY THINGS.

4. Watch the CW Pumpkin Dancing Man

Giphy

I don't know what this is from, or how it even exists, but I love it and it is my mood from August 1 to November 5th.

5. Costumes

Giphy

It is time to start thinking about costumes. Are you going to do a group one with your friends? With your significant other? Are you going to be something extravagant? Be something funny? The time to start is NOW.

It is only August, but there is so many things to do, to see, to accomplish, you have to start early.

Happy Spooky Season!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
