Halloween...What?

Halloween is a, somewhat, holiday that about 80 percent of the population celebrates. This being because the other 10 percent are strictly committed Catholics of Christians that believe Halloween is a part of the devil (my mom does not let me celebrate it for that reason that we are both Christians). Me being a Christian is only half of the reason that I do not celebrate it. The other reason is because of the fact that kids, ages below 17 on average, are going out into the dark in monstrous costumes looking for candy from strangers. Crazy when you think about it? Yeah, because we are literally breaking the third most important rule to us as a society..."Do not take candy from strangers or talk to strangers!". The other 80 percent see it as a fun activity to scared and be scared (which apparently is fun) just for the kicks and laughs and endless amount of candy. So what can the other 20 percent do to not have a boring Oct. 31?

Alternatives

Scary Movie Night

Get your parents, your brother, your sister, even your dog, and watch thriller. Oh! You do not want to stay at your parents' house?...TOTALLY FINE! Grab a friend that can host a movie night and invite a bunch of suspense sensitive kids, and a few tough ones to ease the rest. DO NOT FORGET THE FOOD!!

Haunted House

Go to a haunted house, but not by yourself so bring some friends. This is a very safe way to get the thrill and scare of Halloween without the danger or even the costumes. Just bring yourself and someone else, unless you think you are tough enough.

Party

Maybe you do not want to sit through a movie or even go somewhere scary but still do not want to waste the day. Just have a party!! It can even be a costume party with all of your friends from high school, or middle school, or college. Either one can have a party just as good for that age...keep the age part in mind. Have fun!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
