For some, October represents fall weather and bonfires. To others, it means Greek Grind practice, a weekend trip on the bye week, and the final countdown to the GA/FL game. Our professors consider the mid-term a time for tests and papers. With all of this and so much more going on, it's definitely one of the busiest times of the year. It always ends the same way though, with Halloween.

Some have been counting down and planning for October 31st since last November 1st, and it's finally upon us. Among all of the craziness, there's definitely a lot of fun. Here's what some of your peers had to say about this exciting time of year.

1. "Apparently a new trend this year is to use pineapples as your jack-o-lanterns instead of pumpkins."

2. "I saw a video of some awkward middle school guys dancing to SexyBack, it wasn't until later that I realized it was the cast of IT."

3. "I heard you're wondering what to wear to Frat Beach. You know that section of t-shirts at Wal-Mart, the ones with random stuff like Shrek and pizza on them?"

4. "Are you trying to tell me that in Hocus Pocus when 'I Put A Spell On You' came on at that party they just KNEW what to do? No way. I definitely think they came up with a choreographed spell back in the 17th century, just in case the opportunity ever arose."

5. "If I pay $40 for a haunted house, I better die."

6. "Dressing as a ghost isn't for lazy people. It's for the people that were supposed to work out all year to pull off a slutty costume, but didn't successfully do so. This year I am one of those people."

7. "Which is a more effective route for asking Jake Fromm on our Halloween date night, Twitter or Instagram DMs?"

8. "I never use my drop test on the first test, I always save it for the test I inevitably will have the week of Greek Grind."

9. "The knockoff Fred Flintstone costume is called 'Casual Jeb Bush.'"


10. "Who do these kids think they are? Running down Milledge and demanding candy. Candy is expensive. Take my extra ramen flavoring pack instead. Actually I want that, never mind."

11. "I'm not saying I'd rather eat a bowl of nails than a bowl of candy corn, I'm just saying it would be a hard decision."

12. "The scariest thing about Halloween are the people that force their pets to wear costumes."

13. "Is it acceptable for me to wear three costumes to your house next week? I got invited to less Halloween parties than I thought I would."

14. "Don't get me wrong, you can get hype to the Ghostbusters' theme song. However, the Monster Mash is clearly superior."

15. "It's a full moon AND it's October. I'm staying the hell off the streets tonight."

16. "Last year I was a scarecrow for Halloween and someone told me I was a cute football. We definitely go to a SEC school."

17. "I have an orange jumpsuit that I made into a romper. I recycle it with stick-on letters of the last name of whichever notable celebrity got arrested that year."

18. "Have you seen DJRx's remix of 'This Is Halloween?'"


19. "This year I'm going as a non-political Facebook status. Rare, but beautiful."

20. "Halloween is next week and I still don't know what I'm doing with the rest of my life."

Stay spooky - xoxo,

Eavesdropping Girl

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
