The unfortunate nightmare for the scaredy cats of the world.

9 Reasons Why Halloween Is Actually The Worst
AATRH

The last weekend of October tends to be the peak of people's fall experience due to the holiday that I love to hate, Halloween. For the scaredy cats of the world like myself, Halloween is actually a personal form of hell.

1. Clowns.

Okay, this is just self-explanatory. They were creepy before. They're terrifying now.


2. The stress of finding the right costume.

I swear trying to dress myself on a normal day is a struggle in itself. Trying to find costumes for an entire weekend might as well be the death of me. Risky Business? A donut? A cop? I give up.


3. The candy hangover.

I started eating candy for dinner on October 5th.. by the time November 1st hits I'm going to need serious rehab and dental work.


4. Constant horror movie commercials on at night.

As if I wasn't already paranoid about all the creeks and weird noises throughout my house. I look up from my phone at the tv to see a commercial for the sequel of Ouija. NO. JUST NO.


5. Horror movies in general.

Scrolling through the channels on tv and Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy vs. Jason, and When A Stranger Calls are ALL on. Brb hiding under my covers and watching Gilmore Girls until October is over.

6. Haunted houses.

I don't know why anyone would want to PAY to be scared but they do. Count me out. But if you need a driver you know who to call.

7. People are always screaming.

I don't know if you're genuinely scared or if you're trying to just scare me but for the love of god please stop.

8. The need to make a costume "sexy"

I recently saw a "sexy" Mrs. Clause and "slutty" Harambe costumes. Y'all really need to be stopped.

9. Fake cobwebs

I know that it looks cute and spooky but seriously I walk into a room and I suddenly feel like I'm being attacked and trapped all at once. Ugh.


So if you love Halloween, live this weekend up. The rest of us will be thankful when Tuesday comes around and it's FINALLY November 1st.

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.
