Let's Take Halloween Back!

I don't know about you, but I am sick of seeing the same costumes year after year. I have no excitement for the holiday to come; it has become boring and dull. But I want to propose something to all people who feel the same way I do: let's take Halloween back!

Halloween.

A holiday that used to mean endless candy, face makeup, and awesome homemade costumes. We had zombies, princesses, ninjas, and more.

We would spend the night trick-or-treating with our best friends, all innocent fun. We would watch scary movies till 3 A.M., wondering how we were ever going to go to sleep, fearing the nightmares.

But soon enough, those movie-watching nights became drunken nights. They became a Domino's trip at 3 A.M., no candy in sight. People threw out their face makeup and switched them out for cat ears. Halloween lost meaning, its creativity. All we think about now is how to fit in and what is going to get us the most likes on Instagram.

We have become obsessed with what people are going to think of us. We don't want to be the only one to stand out and be different. But we forgot that's the point! Halloween was made for us to dress up, be weird, and let loose. It was supposed to be fun; it used to be. Now, all it consists of is pressure, to look the best, the hottest, and the most up-to-date.

I don't know about you, but I am sick of seeing the same costumes year after year. I have no excitement for the holiday to come; it has become boring and dull. But I want to propose something to all people who feel the same way I do.

Let's take Halloween back!

This year and all the years after, let's get excited to make our costumes, be silly, scary, funny, and bold. Let's forget about what people think; don't try to impress anyone but yourself. I want to see costumes that are going to make me laugh or frightened. I want to see creativity at its finest.

For long enough, we have been embarrassed to be different. Now, it is time to embrace that once again.

Take out your face makeup and paint away because this year, we are taking back the innocence, giving it a twist and serving looks.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
