4 Tips For Staying Safe On Halloween
Brian Wu

It's Halloween weekend! For us college students that means yet another excuse to rage, rage, rage, and RAGE! Which also means parties and the irresponsible things that are going to happen. Fun. And to the lucky A-holes who can afford to go to Escape Psycho Circus, have fun. That lineup is so stacked! But, back to the topic of this article. Let's just take a seat and be serious for a second. Halloween is going to be fun and wild, but that also means that there will be a lot of irresponsible people, like usual, only these people have even more of an excuse to be irresponsible. "Oh, but it's Halloween! Just let me do this. Let me do that. It's okaaay! I'm finnne. I'ms on uh guhd level" Honey, you are not fine if you're slurring your words and stuff. Like, your friends are trying to help you out and you're making things way too difficult. Props to you, friends. The nights will last a while and it'll be dark out, so it would be smart to take some steps to ensure safety.

1. Go in a group of reliable friends. Make sure if you're the type of person to start losing control that your friends are capable of taming you if it's necessary. But honestly, don't be that friend. No one likes to babysit anyone. We all want to have fun and friends do too.

2. Leave your place packing some protection. Pepper spray is probably the most ideal choice. Can't really kill anyone but it hurts like a mofo. If you're just packing with your fists, as long as you can actually defend yourself successfully with them, then that should suffice. If those aren't to your liking, there are other options.

3. Make sure at least half of your friend group has Uber and/or Lyft set up. It sucks when you and your friends are out on the sidewalk, in the cold, in the dark, vulnerable, trying to sign up for Uber. Just get that crap done early so you can get home ASAP.

4. Stay with your group. Some people will enter a party with their friends and leave without them. Not cool. And not safe. Strength in numbers, so stick together. It'll be alot easier fending off killer clowns if you got a squad to fight with.

So there's 4 tips on Halloween safety. These tips really apply for whenever you decide to go out, but Halloween is a holiday for parties, so it seemed appropriate to talk about these things now. So stay safe, have fun, lookout for killer clowns, and Escape people, I envy you. Happy Halloween!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
