Yes, Halloween Is Coming Up And No, I Will Not Go To A Scary Movie Or Haunted House With You

As we all know, the season of pumpkin everything and falling leaves has begun. Which just means Halloween is right around the corner. And trust me, I love it as much as the next guy. I mean hello... cute little babies and children dressed up in cute outfits, a plethora of candy, CANDY CORN, and fall decorations.. who wouldn't be head over heels for Halloween? But I will not be going to watch the newest possession movie and I will not be going to haunted houses. And it's not because I'm scared.

Don't get me wrong, if you enjoy scary movies and haunted houses, I am not putting you down. That's perfectly fine. However, you won't see me there and here's why...

A lot of these scary movies are rooted in satanic rituals and filled with people being possessed. I'm sorry y'all, but that stuff is not a joke. Stuff like that really happens. Demons are real and once you open yourself up to that, it is very easy for the devil to prey on you. The point of scary movies and haunted houses is to evoke fear. Fear is not of God. The devil feeds off of fear and will use that against you.

When I talk about demons, I don't mean dark monsters with scary faces. Demons can take on many forms: addiction, negativity, anger... These are all things that the devil uses to distract us from our God-given purposes here on this earth. Once you allow yourself to get caught up in those things, it's hard to get rid of them. So I refuse to open myself up to those things by watching movies filled with demon possessions or going to a haunted house. It's just not worth it to me.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirableā€”if anything is excellent or praiseworthyā€”think about such things. Philippians 4:8

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
