The Ultimate Survival Guide Post-Halloweekend
Taylor DeMarco

If you're in college, you know Halloweekend is the biggest party weekend on campus, and arguably, the most fun. Between the costumes, the candy, the dancing and all the Angry Orchards your heart desires, we don't think about how we feel the Monday after. Suddenly we go from lively, fun-loving party people to hungover zombies that want to sleep for the next five weeks. With this guide, you'll be able to get yourself together and back to class better than you even were before Halloweekend!

1. Before anything, drink lots of water!

Alcohol can make you dehydrated, so keep a water bottle in hand. It's going to suck and your stomach is going to make you feel like you can't handle it, but you'll be happier in the end with more water.

2. Take an asprin and enough time to rest.

This is only of my personal favorites and almost always does the trick. Once I take a Tylenol and take an hour nap, I'm always good to go!

3. Coconut water is awesome for hangovers!

Contains anti-oxidants and electrolytes which are perfect for treating hangovers. Another substitute would be gatorade or other sports drinks.

4. Treat your eyebags and use a moisturizing treatment for your face.

Cut up some cucumbers and slap some coconut oil on your skin. You want to start feeling better on the inside and work your way to feeling better on the outside. Some of my personal favorites are rose water and oatmeal face masks.

5. Treat yourself to some greasy food.

Enough said, treat yourself.

6. Take a hot shower/bath.

Whenever I'm sick, stressed, angry, sad or anything else I usually jump in the shower to calm myself down. Clean off your drunken mistakes and makeup from the night before and freshen up.

7. Fuzzy socks and warm pjs can cure anything.

Go straight to your comfy clothes. You'll be happiest, especially with these chilly October days.


8. Have some tea, black coffee or hot chocolate.


9. Take your Sunday to relax and get a good night's sleep before Monday!

Overall, make sure you get plenty of sleep for the next day. Go to bed at a decent hour and wake up on time, it's the best way to get your body back into order!

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.

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.

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.
