It's that time of year again. Pumpkin spice, falling leaves, and scary movies to watch at night. It's always fun to eat all the candy you want and get a little spooked to kick off the holiday season.

With Halloween only days away, here are some things to give you the creeps and put you in that Halloween spirit.

1. College graduation

Nothing's scarier than the idea that you have to go out into the real world and start being an adult. I think I'll just stay a few more semesters...

2. Trump

Giphy

Just, in general.

He's a pretty scary dude, that's why so many people dress up as him for Halloween.

3. Our political climate in general

Giphy

It's spooky szn bitches. Also voting season.

4. Commitment

What if I change my mind?

A job, a partner, a house, really anything that means you have to devote yourself to is terrifying.

5. Having to pay rent

media.giphy.com

Having to pay for anything really.

6. Mondays

Giphy

Who wants to actually get out of bed and have to interact with people as a normal human being? No thanks.

7. Justin Bieber's facial hair

I wonder if the new J Biebs look will catch on like it did in 2009...

8. Trying to live up to everyone's expectations

The lower the expectations, the less disappointment.

Let's face it, there are terrifying things happening all the time, not just on Halloween.

So next time you sit down to watch a scary movie or go to a haunted house, remember the real fears of the world. There's nothing more scary than the world around you.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
