Why Halloween Is My Favorite Holiday
Steve Rotermund

t's that time of year again. The time of year when you can go out in your favorite hoodie or sweater without the fear of overheating. The time of year when literally everything is apple and pumpkin flavored. The time of year when bite sized candy is plentiful because of the last day of October. There's nothing about autumn that isn't absolutely wonderful. Even the trees seem to agree as vibrant yellows and oranges come out to greet the world. The absolute best part of fall however, is Halloween.

It's time for spooky, creepy, and scary things to come out to play. Broken dolls, zombies, skeletons, ghosts... You name it. But the absolute best part of Halloween is no one will judge you, or give you weird looks if you're in costume. Becauses everyone is in costume too!

It doesn't even matter if you celebrate the holiday or not, it's fun for literally everyone. Including the cosplayers like myself. I cosplay all the time, and get the oddest look when I walk around on campus with my costumes or theatrical makeup on.

It's so nice to be able to go out and show some of my talents without getting strange looks. I cosplay all the time after all. I mean how easy is it to just wake up, decide not to do your hair, and simply throw on a wig? I mean it's literally that easy. I don't know why it's not more commonly practiced, as the wigs can honestly be super cute.

I know I'm not the only cosplayer who's favorite holiday is Halloween either. I mean how could it not be in the top five at least? There's the opportunity to wear a costume and dress up as your favorite character. There's the possibility of free candy, and parties. There are always parties on Halloween, or at least the weekend before.

Honestly, Halloween is by far the best holiday. With everything there is to do, it's a wonder that it's not everyone's favorite. Is it because Halloween falls on a Monday this year? Because honestly, that isn't going to stop me from having a great time hitting up Haunted Houses, and it shouldn't stop you.

Just be sure you're skeleton is strong and ready to fight in the skeleton wars.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
