10 Basic Costumes To Avoid This Halloween

Halloween is all about being creative and showing off your best self. Yes, it is easy to stick with the same old costumes, usually consisting of some sort of animal ears, a tail, booty shorts, and fishnets. However, there are so many other unique costumes you can come up with that can help you become noticed and have a more memorable Halloween. Here are some of the costumes you should avoid this year if you really want to stand out from all the other basic girls.

1. Devil and angel

Yes, it's cute especially if you want to do something with your best friend, but it's so outdated and you can do so much better than wearing a tight red or white dressed paired with devil horns or a halo.

2. Mickey and Minnie

As much as I love Disney, I am SO sick of seeing Mickey and Minnie costumes. There are many other Disney characters to choose from.

3. Cat

Basically, a cat is known as the typical white girl Halloween costume. Just avoid it.

4. Disney Princesses

Again, it was cute at first, and I love Disney, but it's just become way too common and lost its uniqueness.

5. Marvel Superheroes

As if you didn't see enough elementary school aged boys dressing up as superheroes, now you can't stop seeing college girls dressed up as them.

6. Nerd

No, you don't actually look like a nerd- somehow you look slutty in booty shorts, thigh high socks and suspenders.

7. Bunny

A.K.A, playboy bunny.

8. Minions

It was a really cute idea the first year the movie came out, but now I'm sick of seeing it.

9. Thing 1 and Thing 2

Yes, it's easy to throw on a Thing 1 or Thing 2 tee shirt and red booty shorts, but there are so many better ideas.

10. Victoria's Secret Angels

So your costume is a lacy bra and a robe? Just leave that for when you go to sleep.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
