How Do I Love Halloween? Let Me Count The Ways

www.i-mockery.com

The cool crisp air whistling through the trees along quiet, moonlit neighborhoods; the scenery like abstract paintings in hues of orange, yellows, and reds; the crazily comfy sweaters that wrap you like a warm hug. Yup, it’s official. Fall has arrived and it is graciously accompanied by the ever-exhilarating all Hallows Eve, and a spirit that spreads like a virus through die-hard Halloween fans everywhere.

Twisted souls from all walks of life suddenly begin to assemble frightening displays of evil-doings and massive maniacal miscreants. Immortal beings by the hundreds flood the once serene communities’ homes, roadways, and lives. Establishments everywhere host cult-like gatherings for the earthbound dead, the criminally insane, the bewitchingly beautiful, the outrageously originals to come together to worship their sacred occasion.

Yes, the moment the heat breaks and the first leaf falls, it's go time. Here are just a few of my favorites, enjoy!

1. A whole month of horror!!

Old horror, new horror, blood & guts galore. Even my favorite shows feature spooky special episodes. Yes, I spend a lot of time with the lights on and the blankets up to my eyeballs, but it's totally worth it.

2. Candy, Candy, CANDY!

It's a good thing it's sweater weather because around now I start eating candy like it's my job!

3. "Cuz this is Thriller"

Classic! Every single person in America should know it and break into dance the moment they hear it.

4. Jack-o-Lantern-ing

Who says it's not ok to have fourteen carved pumpkins scattered about your front yard?

Oh the possibilities......

5. Harvest Festivals & Hayrides

Apple Cider & Pumpkin Picking

6. Haunted attractions

The wet your pants, scare the sugar out of you, and scream like a little girl kind of fun.

7. Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING!!

Wait......are those condoms and tampons?!?

8. Indulging my Inner Child

I don't care how old you are, dressing up for Halloween is pure awesomeness!

9. It's a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

10. Gorgeousness everywhere you look

11. The. Walking. Dead.

...and Daryl <3

12. Home-front Haunts

It's not hard to figure out who the Halloween freaks are and aren't.....

......and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
