Growing up as one of three triplet boys, my Mom and Dad worked relentlessly to come up with the most creative and entertaining Halloween costumes. The elated reactions from people when they saw our adorably designed costumes always ensured the ability to take as much candy as we wanted. My brothers and I would stuff our pillowcases to the brim with as many delicious treats as we could find. We would rush home and meticulously sort every sweet treat we received. My little kid self would be beaming with pride recognizing my accomplishment of candy collecting. I would do anything to relive those moments...

As a nineteen-year-old college student that is large and in charge, I can only imagine how horrified people would be to see me trick or treating among adorable little kids. Although I thought of re-wearing my three little pigs costume to replicate my cuteness and be given extra candy this year, the costume was surprisingly too small. Unfortunately, I will emulate trick or treating this year by eating an entire Costco sized bag of mixed chocolates to relive my youth.

Every kid has a favorite Halloween candy that says a lot about their personality, and although our bodies will grow and our cuteness may fade (speaking for the general population, of course, my cuteness is luckily immortal) our favorite Halloween treats will remain the same. Find out what your favorite Halloween candies say about you!

MILKY WAY

You’re out of this world! You are very soft and sweet on the inside ensuring you to be a very caring friend. Your creamy caramel center shows that you can be stretched very thin without cracking under pressure. Just remember that you are the guardian of the galaxy and it is your job to ensure that all other candies keep their packaging free of rips. Because we all know that if our parents see a 1 mm rip on our candy then it was obviously poisoned by that creepy neighbor Mr. Dinkleberg and will have to be thrown away.

KIT KAT

You are a fan favorite! You’re great at sharing and always know how to pick someone up when they are feeling down. However, you can sometimes be brittle and if people don’t treat you the right way, everything you hold true and dear in the world may be ripped apart. Surround yourself with people who will tr(eat) you right. And always remember, even when you have been torn into smaller pieces and feel broken, you are still just as enjoyable.

SNICKERS

You have the whole package! Clearly, a very confident person who isn't afraid to mix your sweet and silky exterior with a crunchy and salty interior. People underestimate your ability to be a hardo and know how to call things as you see them. Your saltiness may at first seem intimidating, but it is also one of your greatest features because it shows you are not afraid to speak your mind and will always be honest with your friends, no matter how brutal that honesty may be.

DOTS

You never seem to be able to make up your mind. You have so many different flavors of personality in one tiny package that it is hard to decide whether or not people actually like you. More often than not people are eager to be your friend on one particular day of the year, but then you find yourself feeling stagnant in your relationships, almost as if you are at the bottom of a crumpled up brown bag in late December. It has been a while since anyone has talked to you, but at least you never really seem to go away.

STARBURSTS

You pack a punch. You are just bursting with personality. You are the small friend that is able to keep up with the big guys. You are vibrant and spunky and always seem to be having a good time. When people see you they are intrigued to know how such a small package could carry such bold and fun characteristics. Your only flaw would be how much you love getting unwrapped…

SOUR PATCH KIDS

First, you’re sour… then you’re sweet. You are not afraid to be brutal with your friends. Little kids would often come up to you on the sweetest holiday of the year and you would hit them with: “You’re wearing THAT for Halloween??...” Although your opinions are uncensored and sometimes flat out mean, you can recognize when you have overstepped and always know how to seek forgiveness in the sweetest ways possible. Unfortunately, you always ditch your friends because your go-to motto is sour, sweet, gone.

BUTTERFINGERS


You’re a mess. Your friends like to keep you around because they can always depend on you to make everyone laugh by constantly falling in heavily populated public places. No one will trust you to hold anything because your hands are slicker than oil. You even dropped your goddaughter into the entire tub of holy water at her christening! You’ve got a great heart, but you are a grade A clutz.

BAG OF PRETZELS


How dare you even call yourself a Halloween candy. You are probably the fakest person anyone has ever met. You are constantly talking behind other people’s backs and never aren’t in a bad mood. You are disappointing to your family and friends because of how hard and salty you always are. The root of your malicious behavior stems from being given a bag of pretzels from your elderly neighbor Mrs. Voorhees on your very first Halloween.

SMARTIES

You are one of the most intelligent and kind people that anyone has ever met. You are an encyclopedia of never-ending fun facts and always know how to give the sweetest compliments. Thanks to your slim body type you have never had to worry about exercising, and all you really fill yourself up with is sugar. Share your knowledge with the world because it will take you far.

Happy Halloween!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
