With Halloween around the corner, the big debate about which candy is best to give out is back again.

Some kids grew up receiving Hershey's, others Midnight Milky Ways, and unlucky ones went on a door step screaming "Trick-or-Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat" with no answer, and left treatless until the next door.

However, growing up, it wasn't the good ol' king size Snickers bar that was the jackpot. It was the lip puckering, face cringing, eye watering sour candies that would make my Halloween.

So below are the sour candies that you can give to me this Halloween in hopes of making my day:

1. Air Heads Xtremes


These long bands of sour and sweet candy give a nice little zing to young'uns craving a little pucker in their life.

2. Warheads


The original lip puckers will never get old, just don't take too many at a time.

3. Sour Patch Kids

Sour then sweet, you see it all the time in the commercials. However, you know someone is a real one if they hand out Sour Patch Watermelon.

4. Shockers



Yes, I know they're now Sweet Tart Sours, but c'mon, I spent a good 19 years of my life calling them shockers, so I'm gonna stick with the OG name. Y'all know what I'm talking about, yummy blasts of sour artificial citrus flavor.

5. Toxic Waste Bubble Gum


So it was 4th grade, and I found these on a door step that said "take one". After taking one and trying it out, lets just say I went to that door step multiple times during the rest of that Halloween night. Since then, I've found myself crawling through those really bright colored candy shops as a grown man looking for them. These are definitely the national treasures of sour candies.

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.
