Spooky Season Is Quickly Approaching And I'm So Ready

Is anyone else hyped for Halloween this year?

Spooky Season Is Quickly Approaching And I'm So Ready

I am what people would call the "lame" person in relation to Halloween. Well, not really. I have never dressed up a day in my life. But, I have attended Halloween parties, festivals, and haunted houses. I always want to dress up, I even spend time brainstorming what I will be. But, I end up never following through with my plans. Like all the other years, this year will probably be no different.

I want to change that though, honestly. Doing something other than watching Mr. Nightmare on YouTube would be nice. I do recommend that channel though, pretty good stuff.

While Halloween is greatly entertaining for me, I do get a bit nervous about certain things. A lot of us would simply like to enjoy scary stories, candy, and parties. But others have more sinister plans in mind. My advice to the unsuspecting and innocent would be to remain cautious, know who is around you, and watch your surroundings. Plan ahead, try to stay around those you know and trust.

The clown epidemic in the fall of 2016 low key had me SHOOK! I think it was because of the disguise of the individuals behind the masks. I never knew what to expect or what their motives were. Watching scary videos didn't help either. But, that's what I do; watch videos knowing I will be freaked out. I'm pretty certain the trend won't return, but I advise anyone to remain aware.

Lastly, beyond all the weird stuff, enjoy yourself. Don't get too caught up in all the negativity and crime. It will seriously put a damper on your experience if you let it. Enjoy your family and friends, enjoy those parties and spooky amusement park rides. If you want to stay inside as I will probably do and binge-watch horror films, do it! If you want to go out into the city and explore the festivities, do it! Just be safe while doing so!

See you on October 31, 2019! Muhahahaha!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
