Why Halloween Is The Worst Holiday

I am elated when most holidays come around; Christmas and Valentine's Day happen to be my favorites. However, when it comes to Halloween I am the biggest of grinches. Here is why:

1. There is way too much pressure to have a witty or a eccentric costume. I could never come up with something this awesome

2. And if you are not one of the two, then your costume is most likely the highest degree of trash.

3. People are pretty crazy in general, but for some reason Halloween brings out a whole other level of crazy in everyone.

4. Almost everyone you know will be throwing a Halloween party, which means you’ll have to pick which of your friends you like the most. Rude.

5. Even worse is not getting invited to any party at all. That’s just ego crushing.

6. For 31 days all that plays on television are terrifying, demented, sick and twisted horror films. Stephen King, you are a monster.

7. The fact that I know everyone is pretending to like candy corn- you people cannot possibly find that excuse of a candy delicious.

.

8. Halloween decorations are ugly and gross. Spiders? Eyeballs?? Bloody detached limbs??? Um, no thanks!

9. You have to be extra wary of your chocolate and the fact that there cold be RAZOR BLADES in them for Pete’s sake.

Call me what you want folks, but little kids running around the streets at night time begging for hundreds of pieces of candy while dressed like Spider-Man just isn't my thing. I will be hibernating this coming weekend, so I will see you all in November!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
