"Halloweekend" is in the past, but the memories will surely live on forever. If you are a University of Utah student, you probably meandered down to U street on Saturday to witness the seemingly endless debauchery taking place. Flashback to last year when people were crowd surfing, an astronaut offered to take me to the moon, and cops lined the street throwing tear gas. College kids mixed with Halloween exposes what is really wrong with humanity... or what is awesome about it depending on how you look at it. Here is some crazy shit I witnessed this year:

1. A guy in a lizard suit peeing on someone's lawn in front of small children.

2. A guy possibly dressed as the Babadook hanging out a fourth story window and jumping.

3. Shaggy from Scooby Doo falling asleep on someone's car.

4. Sexy unicorns spraying people with glitter.

5. A redneck throwing firecrackers into the heart of the crowd.

6. A guy who offered me a cigarette because he was "lung cancer" for Halloween and had hundreds of cigarettes taped to his body.

7. Two girls humping each other and then looking into the eyes of two dudes saying, "Take notes boys!"

8. People jumping on top of cars trying to drive on the street or people getting into the cars that drove on the street... (why anyone would think it would be a good idea to drive on U street during Halloween deserves whatever horror is in store for them).

9. The fights that broke out while people yelled "WORLD STAR!!" and then me hoping someone didn't get stabbed by the shards of broken glass from beer bottles lining the street.

10. The line of about 10 cop cars that blockaded the one-way street in order to end the madness. (Classic ending to a classic U street celebration).

Yeah, I am gonna need to visit my therapist this week after witnessing the absolute decline of humanity and the primal state people resort to while wearing costumes and drinking alcohol. This is why millennials can't have nice things.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
