First Halloween night in college, seems exciting right? Well here are 5 top survival guides for a halloweekend.

Have multiple costumes ready

Giphy

Halloweekend is not only known for continuous parties on halloween week, but what I learned is to never wear the same costume again. trust me. Have multiple choices and they DON'T have to be slutty.

It's okay to not wear lingerie 

Giphy

Every girl goes to college excited for this month, not because they aren't judged and controlled on what they wear but because they can be free and comfortable in their own skin. Others just use it as an excuse to dress in nothing bu dental floss and an eye patch. BUT if you do not feel comfortable wearing tight revealing clothing then thats okay. Its okay to dress sexy and not reveal so much. Be different and be unique! be comfortable in your own skin

Clubbing

Giphy

If you're trying to go clubbing on halloween, good luck. My first halloween was sent at a club. I was not feeling to well but I did my best to enjoy my time. Do not go to the club and expect to be free and alone. Expect guys hitting on you and trying to feel you up. If partying is not your scene, try going trick or treating, or dressing up for fun! nothing is wrong with that. If you do go, go with your group of friends. Dance your heart out and enjoy a night of candy and costumes!

stick with groups

Giphy

When walking around wearing revealing or sexy costumes, please go with groups. It's hard enough already to try to walk around looking like a god knows what, but being cat called is the worst. Just standing in line I got ass grabbed and it wasn't fun. Being with a group or another person you trust to get you out of bad situations or uncomfortable situations is the key to surviving halloween. Just like when you're kids, you go around in pairs and big groups. You never know what could happen.

Enjoy your night no matter what

Giphy

Avoid drama, enjoy your first college experience. There is nothing wrong with letting loose and being wild. Be safe and smart though, you don't want to end up regretting certain desicions. Happy halloween! Strike of midnight means Christmas! ;)

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Christmas tree

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
