Stop Being Boring And Dress Up For Halloween

We all know that one person who thinks they're too cool for a Halloween costume. Spoiler alert: they're not. Dressing up for Halloween is fun for everyone, and you're wrong if you disagree.

Halloween is a holiday that is always surrounded by an eerie excitement that can only be explained by colder weather, great food, classic movies, and COSTUMES. Whether you choose to be creative, bold, extravagant, or whatever else, putting on a costume is fun, and Halloween is one of the only acceptable times to do so.

Anyone who refuses to partake in dressing up for the occasion is truly a killer of joy. And their negative attitudes suck the fun out of everyone around them.

There are so many creative and fun ways to dress up that it should be illegal not to. You can take any costume idea and make it slutty. You can gender swap costumes in a creative way. You can use whatever you already have to make your costume. You can do couples' costumes. You can do group costumes. The possibilities are endless! You have to be truly lazy and boring to not put *something* together.

You can dress up as something classic and scary. You can dress as a Disney character. You can dress as your favorite TV show character or actor. You can dress up as a fictional book character. You can dress up as the "three-hole punch" version of yourself. Just dress up as something.

You can rely heavily on face paint or makeup. You can put together an extravagant costume that took you weeks to make. You can buy something from Party City. How your costume comes together doesn't matter, as long as it exists. There's inspiration everywhere!

If you're a parent, don't use your child as a cop-out to not dress up. If you have to work that day, do something subtle. The spirit of Halloween is in the thought behind your costume, not how great or ordinary it is. You're never too cool or old to dress up for Halloween.

So for the love of everyone who loves Halloween (which is pretty much everyone), please participate by putting the bare-minimum effort into a costume. Be a good sport, stop being boring, and dress up for Halloween.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
