A Haunting Halloween Morning: The Sun’s Betrayal

A Haunting Halloween Morning: The Sun’s Betrayal It’s Halloween 🎃—the one day the world is supposed to come alive with the supernatural, the eerie, the strange. But as I look out across campus, something feels… off. Where’s the crisp chill in the air? Where’s the ghostly fog creeping over the grass? Instead, we’re cursed with an unholy 80 degrees. What kind of twisted trick is this? It feels like summer’s ghost decided to haunt us, denying fall its rightful moment. My day begins with swollen gums from a teeth cleaning—a discomfort that might be spooky on any other day, but today it’s just another frustrating reminder of my autoimmune disease flaring up. So here I am, armed with four prednisone pills, fighting off the pain while sipping my coffee ☕️, waiting for Halloween magic that’s nowhere to be found. All I can hear are the loud voices from the commuter lounge, shattering the peace I was craving. So I retreat to the back of my mom’s office, where I finally find some quiet. 

Thankfully, my body and gums have finally calmed down, and the swelling is gone—thank god, because it was painful as f*ck. Honestly, the whole ordeal drained my Halloween spirit. Trick-or-treating? No thanks. I’ll be at home tonight, haunting my essay due tomorrow. Homework first—keeping that GPA up, especially since math already stopped me from that perfect 4.0. And if we’re breaking Halloween tradition, can we at least let this warm weather stay through November? It’s the least it could do. Happy Halloween 🎃👻 to all! 

Stay safe tonight, and don’t forget to check your candy 🍬—Halloween always seems to bring out the crazies on All Hallows’ Eve. As for me, I’ll be curled up at home, maybe watching Hocus Pocus for the millionth time. October Courtyard Vibes: A Halloween Treat It’s such a beautiful day—warm, but not too hot. Perfect for a Halloween afternoon! I can just imagine the kids loving it when they head out for trick-or-treating after school. I stopped by 7/11, treated myself to a Slurpee and a chocolate donut 🍩, and found a spot in the courtyard to take it all in. Only 15 minutes until my web design class starts. I came early because my art professor promised to be here… but, naturally, she didn’t show up, lol 😂. No big deal, though—I found some wood pieces perfect for my Land Art project! I’m planning to use them alongside seashells 🐚 and white pebbles, which I might even color. Honestly, I’m more excited about this project than anything else right now. Finally, my seashells will be put to use instead of just sitting in a bucket 🪣! 

Happy Halloween to everyone! 🎃👻 Enjoy, stay safe, and double-check that candy 🍬—Halloween has a way of bringing out the wild ones. And who knows? I might just unwind with Hocus Pocus later for a little extra Halloween spirit. 

Unbelievable October Heat At 4:35 pm, it’s 78 degrees outside—WTF, October? 😂 I just can’t get over this weather. I’m hanging out at FDU’s The Bridge Cafe, indulging in chicken tenders, French fries 🍟, and a pink lemonade, all while watching The View. This warm Halloween feels more like summer’s last laugh than the spooky, chilly day I was hoping for!

Missing You, Mark: Life Just Isn’t the Same Without You

It’s hard to put into words how much I miss my best friend, Mark Williams Jr. 💔 He would’ve turned 36 on October 9, and it feels strange celebrating his birthday in Greece without him here. We met when I was 14, and from that moment on, we were inseparable—literally attached at the hip. I used to call him my “gentle giant” because that’s exactly who he was. We both were a little awkward, a little shy, but somehow we just clicked. He made everything easier, and we understood each other’s quirks in a way nobody else could. Mark was the first of us to get his driver’s license. We used to laugh about how neither of us ever really had a relationship, mostly because he was so shy around girls. I wasn’t much better, to be honest. But those things never mattered because we always had each other. As we got older, life started getting in the way, and adult responsibilities pulled us in different directions. Still, I cherished every text, every corny joke, and every silly story about his string ...

Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey

  Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey New Jersey, a state we usually associate with urban life, shorelines, and lush parks, has been hit with an unexpected and dangerous crisis. Wildfires have broken out across the state, with major incidents reported in both urban and natural areas. This is not something we're used to seeing here, but it’s become a reality we can no longer ignore. In West Milford’s Jennings Creek, a massive wildfire has already scorched over 3,000 acres, threatening nearby homes, structures, and closing down local roads. The blaze is only 10% contained, and firefighters are working tirelessly to prevent further spread. But this isn't just limited to rural areas—there's been another blaze closer to more populated regions. As smoky air fills neighborhoods, it’s becoming more evident that wildfires don’t only happen "somewhere else." The origin of the fire in West Milford has reportedly been linked to human activity, with one person alleged...

Diary of a Chaotic Day: Math, Figma, Funky Classmates, and a Walmart Surprise

lol this ai pic is so funny 😂  Late Post: Written on November 14, 2024 Today was… something, to say the least. It all started with a brutal math quiz 🧮 ➗ that, for some reason, my professor thought could be done in 20 minutes—without a calculator. Seriously? Twenty minutes to solve problems like: • p² + 11p + 30 = (p + 5)(p + 6) • b² + 8b + 15 = (b + 3)(b + 5) • 36 - 25t² = (6 - 5t)(6 + 5t) These aren’t your basic addition problems—factorizing on paper is a whole other struggle! Tackling them without any kind of help was impossible 🤯. Math class feels like my personal downfall, but I’m powering through as best as I can 💪🏾. After surviving that, I treated myself to some Green Day coffee ☕ and mini tacos 🌮 with a kick! The coffee was heaven—Green Day’s got a way of summing things up with  “American Idiot”  and how we’re living in  “Troubled Times.” Then I went to the library to work… or at least tried to. I ended up people-watching 👀, sipping my coffee, and star...
