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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
