We’ve compiled a list of do’s and don’ts this Halloween so you can be a Hallowinner and not a Halloweenie.
Without a clear maternal figure or older sister to turn to, I did what any reasonable adolescent would: I turned to the pages of a teen magazine. Seventeen.
As a competitive player in the “No-Shave November” since I started taking part in my high school’s competition, I view Halloween less as a terror and more as the day my legs begin to grow ... well ... hairier.
On Monday afternoon three Elon University community members made their debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Acorn Coffee Shop employee Kathryn Thompson, junior Taylor Zisholtz and freshman Lucy Smith-Williams all sat down with DeGeneres to explain how they changed each other’s lives “This is a beautiful story,” DeGeneres said when they sat down. Their story began when Thompson asked Zisholtz and Smith-Williams where they were from on a quiet Friday night at Acorn. “When Lucy announced that she was from Florida, her face just lit up and she was ecstatic,” Zisholtz said on The Ellen DeGeneres show. It had been Thompson’s lifelong dream to bring her grandchildren to Disney World, she said. “That was my dream, but I just make it pay day to pay day,” Thompson said as she fought back tears. DeGeneres quickly handed her tissues to dry her eyes. After hearing Thompson’s wish, the two students started a GoFundMe page. People from many different places donated to the page including current Elon students, alumni and people who never attended Elon at all. Donation amounts spanned from just $5 to $1000, to every amount in between. Both DeGeneres and the audience were amazed by the two students’ ability to fundraise over $10,000 to get Thompson to Disney World. Their original goal was to raise $6,500. “There’s a lot of bad out there, and look what you did by meeting someone you didn’t know, helping her make her dream come true,” DeGeneres said. “So thank you for doing that.” In a surprise, the photo company Shutterfly matched Zisholtz and Smith-Williams’ fundraising and gave Thompson another $10,000 on the show. Both Zisholtz and Smith-Williams embraced Thompson as smiled in disbelief.
