Halloween! My favorite holiday is approaching and I love celebrating Halloween. It's just a fun holiday, there's candy and an excuse to dress up!

Do you want to go out and do something to fit the holiday? If you are in the New England area here are some ideas and things that I love doing to get in the Halloween spirit!

Fright Fest at Six Flags

I have season passes, so this is usually a must for me. It's so much fun and there are staff members dressed up and they put on a performance as well to get the fun started! If you go on Halloween night it's even better because most people are out trick or treating, so no lines for rides! There are some other amusement parks that do events like this, Fright Fest has just been the one I go to.

Witches Woods in Westford, MA

Honestly, I have never been. The only reason for this is because I am a wimp when it comes to scary things. Ever since my friends once said we should go back in middle school, my mom always says no, just because I wouldn't go to sleep for weeks. I have heard its fun, but be aware you may be beyond scared.

Salem, MA

This is the best place to go for Halloween festivities! Ghost tours, palm readers, haunted houses, music, and much more! Fair warning though, Halloween night can be very crowded here!

Carve Pumpkins!

This is such an innocent craft, but yet it is fun and gets you in the Halloween spirit! There are many places to pick/ buy pumpkins. Once you pick a pumpkin, go home, be creative, and carve it to put it outside!

Watch Halloween Movies!

Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Halloweentown movies, these are just some of my personal favorites. Then, there are always horror movies if you want a little bit of scary thrill.

This is just to name a few things! Happy Halloween!

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Michigan State University

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future.

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
