It's no secret that October is one of the most thrilling months of the year! It is representative of the autumnal change. It brings with it cooler weather, prettier scenery, and an overall sense of adventure! This month will go by quickly, so be sure to appreciate it for all of its treats, despite the tricks. In order to remind you of the gift that is October, here are just a few of the great things this new month brings:

1. Jack-O-Lanterns

Not only do you get to carve a pumpkin and turn it into a work of art, you also get a prop for the perfect photo-op!

2. Scented Candles

This month brings about glorious candle scents like "waffle pumpkin" and "caramel cinnamon roll"...basically everything smells like a bakery now sans actual kitchen labor.

3. Costumes

Don't tell me you don't spend practically the whole month planning puns that are costume contest worthy.

4. Spooky Decorations

Spider webs, fake skeletons, what's not to love?

5. Haunted Hayrides/House

At first you may wonder why you paid to get scared, but the adrenaline kicks in and you realize it was so worth it.

6. Scary Movies

Maybe we're all just a little bit masochistic, but scary movies are a blessing.

7. Pumpkin Spice Everything

The jury may be out on the actual taste, but it's far too festive not to love!

8. Practical Jokes

There are only so many times in the year you can justify scaring the life out of your friends, so take advantage now!

9. Halloween Parties

The perfect time to get a little spooky.

10. Fall Clothing

It's like October rolls around and everybody just looks ten times better.

11. Halloween

Halloween is like the icing on top of the October themed cake! It is not just another boring, old day. It's the reward we get for making it through the whole month and making the best of it!

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.
