Halloween 2016

I have some great news that I am sure will make everyone excited: Halloween is in three days!! Everyone views holidays differently, and although Halloween is not my favorite holiday, I still love when the month of October rolls around! Everyone has been breaking out the Halloween decorations since the beginning of the month, and it has just intensified as the month went on. Now, as we are three days out from this fantastic holiday, I hope everyone is excited!

When I grew up, my parents and my brother and I would always decorate our house and have the biggest bag of Halloween candy for the cute little trick or treaters that would come to our door nonstop on Halloween. We lived in a kid-friendly neighborhood, and had consistent trick or treaters year after year. However, since I moved to a different part of the Bay Area, we haven't had trick or treaters since more adults live there and not as many kids. However, we do have new neighbors who have little kids, so maybe we will be getting trick or treaters there!

I definitely miss having trick or treaters coming to my front door and being able to smile at them and gush over their adorable costumes, but I think I miss trick or treating more. I always had the best time going out with my friends dressed up on Halloween, and getting to collect loads of candy that would last me for months after Halloween. However, I stopped trick or treating in high school, so I always had to resort to buying myself Halloween candy or not having candy at all. However, now that I am in college, I usually spend Halloween watching horror films with friends while snacking on popcorn and candy.

I hope that all of you guys enjoy your Halloween and do what you want! Go trick or treating, go party with your friends, hang out with friends, or give out candy to trick or treaters when they come to your house! Halloween is a very exciting holiday where everyone is allowed to dress up and enjoy a day filled with Halloween related activities and fun, and I hope that everyone has a great day! If Halloween is not your favorite holiday, still have fun with friends and family! The holidays are exciting, and are special days to embrace! Go carve a jack o lantern, trick or treat, party, go out to dinner, etc. Just make sure you have fun!

Getting Through Finals Week

As winter break is approaching and finals week is coming up, many students are stressed about how to study in order to perform successfully on their tests. Here are some tips on how to be calm, well rested, and ready for finals week. 1. Use Quizlet  - I started using Quizlet my junior year of high school, and I have used it ever since. I am now a freshman in college and I still use Quizlet for my classes. Quizlet is amazing; if you have a lot of terms you need to memorize, Quizlet is the perfect online website that will help you study those terms. Once you write in the terms and their definitions, there are a variety of options you can choose in order to study the terms, including a test, flashcards, etc. 2. Get lots of rest - Don't stay out late when you know you have a final the next day. Getting a lot of rest is beneficial if you want to perform well on a test. It does sound lame to go to sleep really early, but if you do so, your body will thank you. By going to sleep early...

Spicy Veggie Bean Chili

Since moving from my old house with a tiny, cramped kitchen to my new house with a large, open kitchen with an island, I have been meal prepping, cooking, and baking a lot more. With this, I have been keen to try new recipes! I do eat meat, but most of the time I tend to cook vegetarian and vegan meals. This vegetarian chili recipe was one that I came across while browsing for a good, hearty chili recipe, and it is so delicious I had to share it with all of you. I did not come up with this recipe myself. The lovely Shannon, with her blog "The Glowing Fridge," posted this recipe. Her website is amazing, and I highly recommend you check it out. (Also, if you are interested in more plant based recipes, take a look at Shannon's website here: https://www.theglowingfridge.com ) Ingredients: 1/3 cup vegetable broth (or 1 tbsp olive oil) - for sautéing 1 onion, diced 1/4 of a finely diced jalapeño (optional) 3 minced cloves of garlic 1 bell pepper of any color, diced 1 ...
