There Are Clowns Everywhere, And We're All Scared

Why are people trying to take the fun out of Halloween?

There Are Clowns Everywhere, And We're All Scared

I'm going to be honest with you, I have a fear of clowns. Now with all the new clown sightings going on, my anxiety has gone through the roof!

Recently, there has been a new trend of clowns popping up over the country. Sometimes they are "harmless" and are there just to mentally frighten people. But on the other hand you have knife-yielding maniacs chasing after you while you're simple going on an early morning hike! Incase you want to see the video, you can fearfully watch it right here. WARNING! There are some swear words in the video.

Personally if I were to encounter a clown in this day and age, I would run as fast as I could away from these things and get as far away as possible!

After watching some of these videos and reading some articles, there is no doubt to why people should be in fear. As seen in the above video, this clown had a KNIFE! A KNIFE for goodness sake! Why on earth would you want to chase someone with a knife! When did this concept become ok with you?!

Also where are all of these clowns coming from?

I have seen clown videos where they are in the woods, in cities, and even standing on a billboard! Why on earth would you even want to get on one? That is just asking for disaster to happen! If you would like to see the video and read another article, you can click on the link here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/05/scary-c.... Again, in some of the videos there are strong words expressed.

With all of these incidents occurring, it has me wondering; what will Halloween be like this year?

As many people are suspecting to happen, more clowns will be loose and haunting the streets as our poor innocent children go out to just get some good candy. Now why would you steal the pure innocence and fun out of that for these kids? All they want is some good candy! Yet we all know that there will be multiple clown sightings on Halloween. Hopefully none will be spotted near me because I would like to enjoy my Halloween without being terrified.

If you do run into one, please be safe. While this is a national "trend" going on that is supposed to be supposedly harmless, some of these sightings are serious. Some are carrying machetes and knives. There have even been reports of clowns following people from their jobs or school all the way to their home. So please, be safe. Hopefully this will calm down soon and will just be a grim memory to think about. Like when people thought it was ok to do the Kylie Jenner lip challenge. (Insert eye roll here.)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
