Top 10 Best Things About Halloween

10.) Candy. EVERYWHERE.

This is both a good and bad thing, which is why I listed it at number 10. It's good for our sweet tooth but terrible for our temptations.

9.) Makeup Tutorials

This one is from my personal loves. Mid-way through September, it begins...You open YouTube and spooky makeup tutorials are all over your page. You binge watch them. You learn them. You practice on your friends. It's a great process.

8.) Pumpkins

You can go pick your own, from a patch or a store. You can carve them with family or friends. Will it be creepy? Adorable? Imaginative? Not to mention pumpkin seeds and pies.

7.) Songs

Need I say more? This is Halloween will be forever imprinted on my mind.

6.) Halloween Specials

Thinking back, my favorite episodes of TV shows were the specials. I think this still remains.

5.) The Atmosphere

Do you know what I mean? The overall feeling you get around Halloween is one of my favorite things of the entire year.

4.) Scary Movies

For those like me who live entirely for slasher films and ghost stories, Halloween is the best for this reason. Ever wanted to binge watch every single scary movie in a franchise? Now's your chance!

3.) Haunted Houses

It's such a thrill to want to be scared and get the job done. Having things jump out at you and your friends and overall creep you out is amazing.

2.) Halloween Stores

Is there anything better than going into a store with your friends and watching stuff jump out at you? Or planning out your costumes together?

1.) Costumes

Speaking of costumes, planning out your Halloween costume is undeniably the best part of the holiday. Will you go all out? Simple? Scary? Sexy? You can be whatever and whomever you'd like on Halloween.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
