I Tried Pumpkin Stuff So You Don't Have To

If you haven't noticed yet, October is here, which means it is now Halloween month. Not only do all the spooky scary decorations come forth, but all the candy and junk food you could ever want is here. Even normal food gets into the spirit as LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS MADE WITH PUMPKIN.

We got pumpkin cereal, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin beer, pumpkin candy corn, and if it isn't pumpkin flavored, it's at least pumpkin shaped (I'm looking at you Reese's).

I've compiled an extensive list of all the pumpkin stuff I've seen and tried and decided whether or not it was worth it for you to try as well. You're welcome.

1. Blue Moon Pumpkin Beer:

I was skeptical at first about pumpkin beer, but it was actually quite nice. It had all the gross flavor of a normal beer but slightly masked by the great pumpkin pie spices. 3/5 would recommend.

2. Trader Joe's Pumpkin O's:

A twist on their normal Cheerio knockoffs, the Pumpkin O's bring a holiday twist to the normal, dry cereal. One would think, "Hey, maybe it's a bit much to start my day with the actual taste of pumpkin pie", but who cares. 4/5.

3. The Classic PSL(Pumpkin Spice Latte for you noobs out there):

If you haven't had a PSL then literally what are you doing with your life. Get out. 5/5 basic white girl alert.

4. Pumpkin Pancakes:

They were okay. Little too much pumpkin and not enough syrup. Lame amirite? 3/5.

5. Pumpkin Pasta:

Yeah, it's a thing. and it's weird. Don't do it. Especially with the pumpkin vodka sauce. Eh 1/5 gross.

6. Pumpkin Scones:

So good. Very moist and lovely with the light glaze over the top. 5/5.

7. Pumpkin Spice Oreos:

How about no? Okay? Oreos were just fine before pumpkin spice sir. I don't need your pumpkin influence. 2/5.

8. Pumpkin Candy Corn:

Again, can we let perfection be perfection? Leave candy corn alone. 0/5

9. Pumpkin Ice Cream:

Surprisingly really creamy and delicious and full of pumpkin pie goodness. I can only find it at the organic type of whole foods stores but you can probably buy it at WalMart or something. 4/5.

10. And finally, Good Ol' Fashion Pumpkin Pie:

Well, duh. Pass the whipped cream. 10/5 best thing ever.

I don't know if this list is helpful and I hope no one actually eats as much pumpkin as I do. You might turn orange. Or is that carrots? Who knows.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1154

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
