The Do's and Don'ts of Halloweekend

The Do's and Don'ts of Halloweekend

As Marine from Halloweentown said it, Halloween is cool and one of the biggest times to go out and have fun with your friends in fun costumes. Virtually everyone goes out in some sort of costume to enjoy what the night(s) have in store.

2. People go out for an entire weekend of Halloween

As this is Halloweekend, I know people that have been going out and have planned on going out every night from Thursday to Sunday... how they do this, I do not know but I'm sure some people will be going back to their dorms with their friends and roommates like this:

3. People have separate outfits for each night they go out on Halloween


I cannot imagine having to plan out 3 or more costumes to wear out as a costume. I was having trouble planning the one costume I had planned.

4. You will see 50 girls wearing the exact same costume

We all saw the countless cat, mouse, Risky Business, and alien costumes that we knew we couldn't ignore.

5. You will see people wearing their regular everyday clothes and that passes as a costume.

Ever heard of "A nudist protesting?" costume? Neither had I until Halloween at college.

6. You will see some of the most ridiculous costumes

Let's just say I saw an inflatable M&M and penis this weekend...

7. You will see some of the best costumes that defines your year


Lots of Harambe, Stranger Things, Pepe, Trump, Clinton, The Joker, and Harley Quinn costumes roaming around college campuses.

8. Halloween is an extravagant costume party that is fun to celebrate

What more needs to be said? Everyone enjoy Halloween night!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
