I'm a Halloweenie

I'm a Halloweenie

Well, it's finally here. The day were everyone can dress up, walk around neighborhoods without anyone calling the cops, and it's socially acceptable. The night where we (kids) go door to door asking strangers for candy and once again, nobody bats an eyelash. I was trick-or-treating through high school, and boy do I wish to have those days back. When I could walk up to peoples houses, with parental supervision obviously, while being as obnoxious as possible in the hopes that I'd get a Reese's or a Snickers.

Damn, I wish I could still do that. Today, if I were to go Trick-or-Treating, I'd be given weird looks like, "who the hell is this guy?"

Some mom would be like, " ummm excuse me sir, but aren't you a little bit too old to be trick-or-treating?"

"Uhhh... try no, lady. Now why don't you and Kylo Ren get to steppin'."

I'm just a guy who wishes there was no age limit on going Trick-or-Treating. The thrill over knocking on someone's door in hopes that, as the saying goes, that they'll give you something good to eat. Not raisins, candy corn, or dots, those are the worst.

Remember going back home and sorting your candy by labels? All the Snickers go in one pile, the Reese's would go in another, etc. And then going to school the next day with your candy in your bag making trades for your friends candy.

Ahhh the good ole days.

That's it! I'm going to go trick-or-treating. I'll see y'all at the front door!

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.
