There are countless reasons why I love Halloween. In fact, it may be one of the best holidays. The weather is great, not too hot but not too cold. The leaves are brilliant colors and are coating the ground. Bonfires, hoodies, flannels and pumpkin spice lattes have officially made their appearance. On top of all of this, getting to dress up as anything you want and how you want is just extremely fun and exciting. You get to be a kid again, which is great, even if it is just for a day. However, 24 hours can go by fast, so you should try to enjoy it as much as you can. While you're busy enjoying this happily haunted holiday, here's some things you should try to remember to do this Halloween.

1. Dress up.

Whether you want to dress up in a funny, sexy or scary, just do it. Whatever you want to be. You can go all out or keep it simple. Buy a costume or try some DIY projects. It's the one night of the year you can be anyone you want. Live a little.


2. Watch a Halloween themed movie.

I'm not going to lie, I am such a baby when it comes to scary movies. My imagination runs wild and everything I see stays with me forever. So if you're like me, it's OK to keep it simple and watch "Hocus Pocus" or "Halloweentown". Or, if you're feeling brave enough, you can try something a bit more intense. Either way, at least watch one Halloween feeling movie. You have to.

3. Decorate a pumpkin.

Who doesn't love carving pumpkins? Actually, I'm sure a lot of us don't. I myself am awful at carving pumpkins, but I can still paint them and make them look cute. So grab a pumpkin and decorate away. It can keep you company on this chilly, creepy night.

4. Eat lots and lots of candy.

I mean, this is what this holiday is for, after all. Or at least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself. And to celebrate right, go to the store and get a huge bag of your favorite candy. The best part is, everyone will think it's for your trick-or-treaters. No one will ever know you're actually just going to go home and stuff your face with the entire bag in less than ten minutes.

5. Go to a pumpkin patch.

How can you let Halloween pass without going to a pumpkin patch? It's not truly Fall until you've been to at least one of them. Plus, you can get some of the cutest Fall pictures there too. Go ahead and be basic and take a picture with a pumpkin on your head, we won't judge. You get bonus points if you go on a hayride too.

6. Eat more candy.

Seriously, we're not judging. Besides, I'm pretty sure calories don't even exist on holidays, to begin with. You do you.


Enjoy this festive fall holiday. Happy Halloween!

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
