5 Worst

1. Mini cans of Fanta

Why hand out pop on Halloween? They were clunky, got shaken up, and annoying. Also, we wanted candy on Halloween!

2. Plastic rings

The number one off about these plastic rings of death is they pinch so hard! On top of that, they're flimsy so they broke within two days after getting in reach.

3. Toothbrush/floss

Anything really need to be said about these? Yes, brushing teeth and flossing is important, but there was no way you could sell that on the number one Holiday for eating candy. Honestly, mine always ended up in the back of a drawer and never got used.

4. Raisins

Children's worst enemy since the beginning of time. Nuff said.

5. Old candy

Either gross and hard or squishy and sticky. Either way, it was never a favorite.

5 Best

1. Full size candy bars


The kings and queens of Halloween were the ones handing out full size candy bars. Always made sure to hit them up! If you weren't sure which house had them, you could always count on a friend who made pre-rounds to tell you.

2. Glowsticks

An easy way to get some light while trick or treating! Just snap, shake, and bam! There is neon hues to see and wear! Trading of colors may have happened as well!

3. Temporary tattoos

Took these skin decorators to school the next day because who didn't want to look cool with a poorly applied ghost and pumpkin on their face.

4. Sticky hands

These toys were great until they were confiscated by your teacher because you slapped your best friend in class. An alternative use for it was to pick up dirt and crumbs off the car floor!

5. Juice boxes

Bless those who gifted us with the sweet nectar of the Gods!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
