As always, safety first!

This year, the month of October is looking a little different, especially for Floridians like myself. There won't be Halloween Horror Nights at Universal, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney, trick or treating, haunted cornfields, and all the fun activities that usually come along with the month of Halloween.

However, it doesn't mean you can't still celebrate! Here are some easy and safe ways to get in the spooky spirit during a pandemic:

1. Have a Halloween movie night.

This is something you can do at home without having to be around people. Or have a few people over for it but stay socially distanced.

2. Carve pumpkins.

A fun activity that will definitely get you in a spooky mood.

3. Go to a drive-through haunted house.

These are a new thing, but they still let you enjoy a common activity during October while keeping everyone safe.

4. Host a virtual costume party.

Have fun getting dressed up with your friends while still staying home and not breaking any of the social distancing guidelines.

5. Bake Halloween cookies.

Make a fun treat and have a snack for your movie night.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
