10 Frustrations Associated With Halloween Costumes

As we plunge into the last few days of October, the creepily sensational feelings of Halloween have been ever so present in the air like never before. Associated with those feelings, is the pressure to find the perfect Halloween costume. And sometimes not just one costume, sometimes it's even more than that, especially if you're a college student with a busy social life to attend to. The pressure is real.

For me, I have always felt disgruntled in regards to dressing up for Halloween. It's just not my cup of tea. I rather just wear regular clothes and go about my own business. However, it's unfortunately not the case and I always get sucked into dressing up - even if it's something mediocre. The one thing that I can definitely attest to is that I always have a difficult time choosing what I'm going to be. I usually cater towards more minimalistic costumes or costumes that don't require me spending a lot of money. But even then it's still arduously frustrating fabricating the costume and making sure people can acknowledge what I'm supposed to be.

Whether it's just me, I know that the Halloween costume-picking process can be pretty disheartening. Below I've composed ten, hopefully relatable, different frustrations/concerns that I have almost every year when Halloween comes around:

1. When Halloween is in a few days and you have absolutely no idea what you're going to wear yet.

2. When you have an idea, but you don't have the money to properly emulate it.

3. When Halloween stores/Party City don't have the materials you need to complete your costume.

4. When you feel like you look like a complete fool in whatever you're wearing.

5. What if I'm too hot/cold in what I'm wearing?

6. What if no one knows what I'm trying to be?

7. What if I wear the same costume two nights in a row... and people notice?

8. When you want to resort to what you wore last year.

9. When you and your friends fight over the same costume idea.


10. When you spend so much money on your costume, but realize you'll never wear any of these things ever again.

In lieu of all the frustrations Halloween prep provides, Halloween is usually always a memorable night and the costume you choose shouldn't be that big of a deal. No matter what you end up picking, it'll be sure to work out in the long run.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
