Spruce up your house and outfits with some budget-friendly stores that can fuel your fall fever on a budget. Whether you're after some great fuzzy socks or looking for a sticker collection, these are five good places to score some great deals.

1. Dollar tree

Looking for non-traditional goodies for kids? Stop the search and head to your closest dollar store. They have a variety of cute party supplies and favors that are sure to be a crowd pleaser...or your family whom you have been in quarantine with for seven months.

2. Target

Pumpkin spice and everything nice. Not only do they have that glorious, frugal clearance section up front everyone knows. They also have tasty baking options. Did you know that you can now make a halloween cookie house decorated in candy like you would for christmas? Genius. Don't forget the spice cake mix!

3. Walmart

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. They have a huge selection whether it be the globs of candy you're after, mugs, costumes or festive Halloween leggings, it might be better for your bank account to leave your girlfriend at home for this visit. Surprise her with fresh pumpkin!

4. At Home

This is a one stop shop for those of you who like to go overboard on decorating. They have halloween stuff out as early as July if I remember those days I went out for something other than a drive- thru. Pillows, blankets, and skeletons galore. One of my favorites is a candle that when it melts, looks like it's bleeding.

5. Goodwill

My girlfriend is an avid thrift shopper and she swears by this one. You never know what exactly you'll find but that's part of the fun. Around Halloween time is no exception. They have shirts, costumes, decorations, plates, lights, and even some never used cosmetic products to complete your disguise. Plus if you don't see something in the seasonal section, there is a plethora of unique clothes you can put together for your own costume idea!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
