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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
