Halloween is around the corner, and you'e probably sitting around looking for the perfect costume to wear to Sixth Street or the West Campus party you are going to. But remember when you were a kid and all you could think of was going trick-or-treating? The only downside to trick-or-treating was getting stuck with the rejects, the candy no one wanted. Throwing it back to our childhood, here are the 20 worst candies you got as a kid.

20. Smarties

Although I personally love Smarties, it was kind of annoying having so many of these appear. You could never get rid of them.

19. Almond Joy

Either be an almond, coconut or chocolate, not all three.

18. FireBall

To this day, I don't understand why these exist and why people actually like them.

17. Bottle Caps

Every year, I would give them a chance, and always regretted it.

16. Taffy (that wasn't Laffy Taffy)

If it isn't Laffy Taffy, why would a kid want it?

15. Lemonheads

Like the FireBalls, these shouldn't be given to children.

14. Dum Dums

Like the Smarties, they never seem to end.

13. 3 Musketeers

These have a weird texture to them and were always in my reject pile.

12. Milk Duds

You would either trade a whole bunch of these for decent candy, or give them to your parents.

11. Good & Plenty

Anything with licorice shouldn't be given out.

10. Whoppers

They look like chocolate balls but don't taste like them.

9. Gum (Dubble Bubble)

They lose flavor in a couple of minutes and then they get hard to chew.

8. Raisins

They aren't candy, so why would people give them out?


7. Hard Candy (Old Fashioned)

These were the majority of the reject pile or the last ones you always ate.

6. Swedish Fish

I'd rather get Sour Patch Kids instead.

5. Butterscotch Candy

These also go in the old-fashioned candy category. You would either throw them away or give them to your parents.

4. Bit-o-Honey

They are so chewy, it's not even worth it.

3. Candy from last year

You can just tell when people give you candy from last year or another season.

2. Candy Corn

They're addicting, but getting unwrapped candy is never fun.

1. Tootsie Rolls

You could never avoid these and there were hundreds of them. When did you ever buy any?

Of course, not all candy was bad. You would get the occasional king-sized candy bar, chips, and even money.

What was your worst Halloween candy as a child?

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
