Why Halloween Is My Favorite Holiday

It's time to get spoopy my dudes.

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.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
