Keep Your Lights On!

Universal Studios Hollywood, in a press release, announced that they will be offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to walk through one of their horrifying mazes with the lights turned on. The park's new Stranger Things maze garnered widespread respect and acclaim for its immersive storytelling and suspenseful tension that drags its visitors into the strange happenings of Hawkins, Indiana. Constructing the maze allowed Universal Hollywood's Creative Director John Murdy to work with his team and remake the critically-acclaimed show's suspenseful and '80s-inspired set pieces and monster designs in classic Stranger Things fashion. What this means is that his team opted for a cinematic experience rather than a simple "jump scare" type maze that aims to scare you from start to finish with simple imagery.

Recently, it seems like Universal Hollywood has received numerous requests to view the maze in the daytime with the lights on to see how the iconic maze comes together at night to terrify its visitors. Some people might opt for this route in order to avoid having the Hawkins scared out of them while still experiencing the "movie-quality sets" of their beloved show. Cinema buffs and nostalgia hounds may combine both experiences to really get behind the recreation of "the good old days" of their youths. One thing that will convince people the maze is fantastic is to know that the younger cast of Stranger Things walked through the maze in complete terror. If the ones who are involved with the scary things we see on screen are terrified by this experience, you are sure to go through it at least as freaked out, perhaps even more.

If you happen to not be a thrill junkie, the self-guided lights on tour of the maze might be the choice for you. This offer starts on Monday, October 29 and lasts until Friday, November 2, all included in the price of regular daytime admission to Universal Studios Hollywood.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
