'Twas the Night Before Halloween

Before you venture into the world of Halloween, maybe you'll possibly want to give this a read.

'Twas the night before Halloween, when all through the house,

all the college girls were fussing, over who would be the mouse.

The fishnets were folded by the witch hats with care,

and devil horns with bunny ears could be found strewn everywhere.


Across town the college boys were nestled all snug in their beds,

while visions of sexy skeletons danced in their heads.

They knew that the next day would be filled with great treats,

of Natty Light, beer pong, and maybe even candy they could eat.


Girls were having a hard time choosing an outfit,

they were nervous that their costumes would look like horse sh*t.

A doggy snapchat filter or day of the dead skeleton, how would they choose?

The issue wasn't that, it was that they hadn't found any cute shoes.


The boys had their costumes neatly laid out,

they knew that when they started drinking they wouldn't have any doubt.

They thought clown costumes would be a funny idea,

but were having second thoughts, as the time grew near.


The freshmen in their dorms all snuggled in tight,

Had no idea what to expect at the parties the next night.

They had been told a million times to stay away from the frat punch,

if they didn't want to get drugged or keep down their lunch.


The seniors in their apartments, hadn't given their costumes much thought,

they had been there three times before and were done trying to be hotshots.

One had made a netflix sign and had her red clothes already laid out,

and another had found an old skirt and blouse to be a sexy girl scout.


It's not the costume that matters or how clever you can be,

it's about having fun and being scared sh*tless, seriously!

Now before you leave your beds tomorrow as a ghost, dressed in all white,

Happy Halloween to all, and to all a good night!

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.
