HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

It seems that as we get older, we stop doing all the fun seasonal activities that we used to do. Remember when you would get so happy because of all the great Halloween movies would come on Disney? Or when you were so eager to bust out your coolest costume and go trick or treating?

Those were the days! When you could have fun and anticipate for something great. Once you’re older, it’s like you’re too busy with life to even sit and be a kid again. You have work piled up and other grown up responsibilities to worry about.

At one point, i know there will be a time for you to relax or hang out with friends. since it’s Halloween, do something for the season!

So this is for all my teens and young adults who still want to get out and have fun like they’re a kid again. You all listen up!!!

Plan a scary movie night.

Whether it’s with your “boo” or your friends, get together and watch some movies! There are multiple genres to choose from so that everyone can get in the Halloween spirit! You have the horror films, the legendary halloween Disney movies, and some comedy movies. If you can’t think of anything, turn to AMC, Disney, or Cartoon Network and you’re set.

2. Have a Halloween party.

Get all your friends and their friends to come out and dress up in Halloween spirit! Have a party for the old people! Maybe your guests can bob for apples or play other spooky games. Make sure you have candy, snacks, great music and great people! Oh and don’t forget a colored light, that’s a must have!

3. Check out a haunted house.

I advise you to go in a group or with a big fluffy guy! The thrill of haunted houses or mazes are perfect for this time of the year! Be prepared for endless scares, and make sure you have great running shoes. I always advise to wear a hoodie or something with a hood. I always feel safe with wearing a hoodie, it’s my “magical protector shield."

4. Carve a pumpkin and chill.

Maybe haunted houses or parties aren’t your thing and you just like to chill. Call over a co-worker, friend, or even your “boo” and get in the spirit! Carve pumpkins, bake cookies, watch movies. Or maybe you already had a movie night and you want to try something different. It could be spooky karaoke, hide-and-go seek, video games, ghost stories, anything! Just have fun!

So that’s all! I hope all my lovely teens and young adults are able to enjoy themselves and have some fun this Halloween.

Go be a kid again!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
