What's Fall And What's Halloween

Americans are weird

What's Fall And What's Halloween
pinimg.com

Trees are turning red and yellow, and everything looks cozy and romantic. Nice little breeze gently touching my face is one of the best feelings. ESPECIALLY when you have your headphones on and are listening to your favorite music. That being said, I believe it is a sufficient explanation of my appreciation for fall. However, I don't like Halloween. I don't hate it. Don't get me wrong. It just doesn't excite me as much as it seems for other people.

I guess it's one of those traditional, fun, exciting holidays that America celebrates (but it's not even American. Halloween is Scottish. But who cares). I think it's really cute for little kids to go trick or treating in their cute little costumes. Imagine these children filled with excitement and anticipation, laughing with their friends, and so much joy on their face. That's actually adorable. I love seeing kids having fun. That's cute.

I'm not dismissing the folks who love Halloween. Everyone has his or her weird obsession (I'm not telling you mine). You do you, man. If you love Halloween, go full out! If dressing up as Jigsaw in the film, Saw, makes you super excited and happy for the night, go for it! (that was me two Halloweens ago lol) I still try to dress up and have fun with my friends because everyone is filled with anticipation and that kind of vibe gets me excited, too.

BUT I hate seeing these women with fully developed breasts and butt dressed up all slutty, using Halloween as an excuse to let free their inner hoe. I hate seeing these ignorant, insensitive people wearing culturally inappropriate costumes, using somebody else's significant part of culture for the sake of that one night so they can have fun. But, I guess I am being too sensitive, and unable to enjoy one of the biggest holidays and have fun. You can call me names for not being passionately in love with Halloween, but I am a foreigner whose holidays are quite cooler than Halloween, so lol deal with it (sorry not sorry).

Lastly, full-on Halloween decorations always freak me out. They give me goosebumps. They always make me think, "Americans are weird."

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!

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.
