A little personal blog.
So, today I was wondering, what should I write about? Then I remembered the time when I procrastinated on my Halloween costume; it definitely put a damper on Halloween night. That's when I knew that's what I'm going to write about. So if you, or a friend, are in that tricky situation, don't worry because I'm here to help! Let's jump in and explore some spooky and cheap last-minute Halloween costumes.
Hello and welcome to today's blog post! As many of you know, I am absolutely obsessed with literature. I adore the stories of old, the roughness of an old book, and the adventures that I get to be a part of through every heartfelt tale; literature is truly a gift. However, there's another story format that I am a complete nerd for—that, my friends, is film. I'm what you call a film buff, or at least I like to think I am.

Sometimes we have to take things slow and enjoy our seasonal festivities indoors. Let's jump in and discuss a few cozy fall activities on rainy days such as this!

This is truly the best month ever—well, sometimes. If we take a look at reality, I think we can all agree that fall, especially October, is an expensive month. We have Thanksgiving, Halloween, fall events, and of course that one friend who has an October birthday. That's what's happening to me and my friends right now. All of us are broke college students trying our very best to make the most of October. It got me thinking; I wonder how many people on my blog are in the same boat. Here are a few low-budget fall activities to spice up your fall. Let's jump in!
This is one of Francisco de Goya's most famous and popular Black Paintings. Like the rest of the collection, this painting is a dark, haunting, and terrifying depiction of Goya's mind. "Saturn Devouring His Son" is rich in imagery, symbolism, and meaning that help bring to life the disturbing nature of this piece. To better understand this painting, one must have context about Greek mythology.
