Halloween Stinks as You Get Older

The time between middle school and parenthood are when Halloween is the worse.

No more dressing up to go Trick-or-Treating, no more carving pumpkins, no more class crafts all week or Halloween parties. Halloween use to be my all-time favorite holiday. I LOVED getting creative with my costumes and watching Disney Channel's "Monstober". Now, Halloween is all about girls dressing with as little clothes as possible and anything with "sexy" in front of it. My whole Instagram feed from the last two weeks have been full of this, while I am at home in my Halloween socks and Netflix.

Being in a dorm is hard also because decorations and costumes can get expensive and not having a car on campus makes it harder to go to the stores for these supplies. Carved pumpkins in a dorm equals messiness and that gross spoiled pumpkin smell. Plus, no candles in the residential halls.

Halloween was on a Wednesday this year, meaning parties happen the weekend before, Devil's night, Halloween night and the weekend after. That's a lot of loud party goers and people complaining the next day of hangovers. This just is not my idea of an awesome Halloween.

I feel like my Halloween celebrating is on-hold at the moment and it'll only jump start when I move to a neighborhood with a lot of kids or start having kids of my own. Next Halloween, I'll just have my own Halloween party like the good old days.

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.
