From bunnies to Cleopatra, to a jailbird, to Ke$ha, I've done them all. I currently already have my costume planned for this year but I will not reveal it! You will just have to see. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Whether it be the candy corn, fun costumes for pumpkin shaped Pillsbury cookies, it all comes together in one perfect bowl of candy.

Preferably, Twix and dark chocolate Milky Ways.

I know what you're saying most of you are probably like what? What about Christmas? Nope not me, Halloween is without a doubt the best holiday there is. I wait for Halloween all year long until the next year and then repeat the process. I have grown to love Halloween even more than when I was a trick-or-treater back in the day.

My family heavily decorates for Halloween and dos some really fun things to celebrate the holiday. Below are my top five favorite Halloween traditions.

1. Decorate

Decorate your house from head to toe so it looks like a haunted house. My dad has about every decoration in the book from huge spider webs to lifesize moose skeletons, to a huge glow up pumpkin. I also have a table set with all skeletons and plates, knives, forks, and everything else to allow them to enjoy a nice meal. Skeleton dogs and rats also cover the table. I'm not going to lie it kinda freaks me out when I'm home alone.

2. Be extra, very extra

Go all out on your costume, Yes that means spending your money meant for your meals that week on the costume, Speaking from experience, it pays off. You want to be the gal that everyone goes I wish I thought of that. Earrings, tattoos (fake or real lols), shoes, everything.

3. Multiple Costumes

Be prepared with multiple bomb costumes. You never know if you will go to more than one Halloween party. You want to be killing it at every event.

4. Cookies

Bake Halloween cookies. I Used to love to decorate cookies right before Halloween. I would use that bright orange frosting and buy all the fun sprinkles. It was one of my favorite things to do and it always got me in the Halloween mood. I plan on decorating cookies with my friends here at school as it comes closer.

5. Cards

Send a Halloween card to your grandmother. Let her know that you love and what you're planning on being or doing that night. She will appreciate it so much and it will make you feel good too.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
