Halloween is right around the corner and I could not be more excited! What is there not to love about Halloween? I mean really, try to think of something. See. You can't. That's because Halloween is seriously the best holiday ever.

1. Free candy, duh.

A broke college student's favorite thing: free food.

2. Halloween candy every meal for a month!

Resee's for breakfast, Milky Ways for lunch, and Skittles for dinner.

3. Costumes!

It's the one night a year when it's socially acceptable to be someone you're not.

4. Pumpkin everything.

Pumpkin carvings. Pumpkin patches. Pumpkin candles. Pumpkin decorations. Pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin pie. Pumpkin spice & everything nice.

5. Halloween movies.

You're a filthy liar if you say you don't rewatch Halloweentown, Hocus Pocus, and the Nightmare Before Christmas.

6. You don't have to buy any presents.

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and I love giving presents. But when you're a broke college student, saving money on presents while still getting to celebrate with your friends is probably one of the best things ever.

7. Halloween parties.

AKA the Trifecta: costumes, candy, and friends.

8. It's the only time of year you actually WANT to be scared.

Whether you subject yourself to Haunted Houses or scary movies, it's the one time a year you're mentally prepared to be terrified.

9. You get to feel like a kid again.

Growing up sucks. But, on Halloween, you get to take a break from adulthood & relive your childhood, and be a kid for one night a year.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
