10 Of The Punniest Halloween Costumes That Will Either Make Your College Friends Scream With Laughter Or Run Away In Fear

In This Article:

College students that are interested in attending a Halloween Party will look for a spooky or unique outfit for a costume contest. It becomes embarrassing if you have to tell friends what you are wearing (you are entering a contest not playing charades), which usually signals that the costume was not scary or funny. However, when looking at the costumes in your local Party City or Spirit Halloween, you sometimes cannot help, but laugh (and cringe) at the costumes based on a pun or internet meme. Here are the costumes that will cause a mix of reactions from college students at your next costume contest.

1. When Life Gives You Lemons

This is a simple costume that might generate a few laughs. Great if you like lemonade or fruit cocktails. Just put on a yellow shirt or blouse and a name-tag that says "Life". Then carry a basket with lemons to complete the outfit.

2. Greenhouse

Any student that enjoys gardening or currently studying biology will like this costume. It is easy to make, looks amusing, and is environmentally friendly. Not scary at all. This is a nice costume for those who love nature photography or have a green thumb.

3. Chip On Your Shoulder

https://www.clubcrafted.com/4-last-minute-idiom-halloween-costumes/

Here is a very bland costume, and is a quick choice if you exhausted all possibilities. It only takes yellow paper, scissors, and tape. Friends will most likely be extremely disappointed with the lack of creativity. This one is perfect for anyone that is not in the mood for a party. It's okay for a cheap joke.

4. Party Animals

This costume is a little bit more creative. It is great if anyone is interested in wearing formal attire to a party and the animal masks can be either funny, adorable or creepy. The outfit is a unique take on typical party themed outfits. Students may approve of this outfit.

5. Holy Guacamole

If you want a costume that combines avocados and spirituality, here is the one. Just stick pictures of avocados onto a green shirt, and wear a halo with angel wings. It is a clever outfit that will appeal to people that worship avocado toast. This one is guarantee to get a laugh.

6. Zombee

Here is a strange costume. The zombie makeup and bloody look will shock and terrify people compared to the bee outfits that are normally seen as cute. Students will be scared and probably disinterested with his costume, but might give credit for the joke. It's a nice choice for a small Halloween party or event.

7. The Blue Screen Of Death

This costume is terrifying because anyone that used or currently has a Windows laptop might have experienced a system crash. It might cause friends to run and bring them bad memories of computer errors. Video game players and programmers will be the most afraid. Depicting the blue screen as the grim reaper is a unique look as well.

8. Pot Head

With this costume, you will get a few laughs and probably cringes. It is a nice representation of the term. All you need is a plastic pot with fake flowers (real ones would be a bonus) and you are set. Not a bad costume, but not great either. Choose this one if you want something weird and unique.

9. Cereal Killer

https://www.yourtango.com/2018315950/funny-halloween-costumes-pun-costume-ideas

This is a horrifying costume, especially for those that enjoy breakfast cereal. It might give your friends nightmares until lunch. Just get a shirt, attach a variety pack of cereal boxes (plastic knifes are optional) and add red food coloring. It's a costume that is sure to cause a fright.

10. Receipt

https://www.yourtango.com/2018315950/funny-halloween-costumes-pun-costume-ideas

This is not actually a pun. Not a scary costume either, unless you get mad or afraid that you might have spent more on items that you actually did. The pharmacy is a pain, and this costume will make your friends giggle, unless they really hate drug stores. Clever outfit that could be worn to a Halloween costume party, especially if it has a medical theme.

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.
