15 Halloween "Treats" Only Sadistic Adults Give Out

Coming home from a night's work of trick-or-treating was one of the best parts of Halloween growing up. Organizing your goodies into different categories and making trades to assure your Halloween stash was the best. But, there were always those questionable neighbors that added disappointment to your pillowcase, shopping bag, or plastic pumpkin full of treats. I think many past, present, and future trick-or-treaters can agree on these dissatisfying additions to their cavity-filled bags.

15. Dots, also sold as dental glue.

14. Halloween Pretzels, the trendy after-school snack.

13. Those unknown, individually wrapped hard candy things.

12. Black licorice, barf.

11. Good and Plenty, not good and too plenty.

10. Wax candy lips, just creepy.

9. Mary Jane, the peanut butter dental glue.

8. Bazooka Bubble Gum, tastes like rubber after five minutes.

7. Popcorn Balls, for the scary movie before bed.

6. Peanut Butter Kisses, Hershey's unwanted stepchild.

5. Circus Peanuts, bitter, tough, peanut-shaped marshmallows.

4. Mounds, a name no one really understood.


3. Almond Joys, more like Almond Disappointments.


2. Raisins, from the defiant health nut.

1. Toothbrushes, from your dentist that lives in your neighborhood.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
