11 Halloween Costumes You Definitely Saw This Year
Funny Junk

Let's be real, girls. Halloween comes around once a year. You have 365 days to think of an original, clever costume with the right amount of slutty. Everyone knows that the whole animal-ears-and-lingerie act is overplayed and over, leaving many with the question: what the hell else does the job?

That's when everyone goes to Google

and we all know where you end up.

Yeah, don't act surprised.

Everyone ends up falling in love with the same ideas, resulting in seeing double all night, even if you haven't taken those Jell-o shots yet.

Now, I am not hating on using Pinterest. Hell, one time a girl called me a "Pinterest Gay" because I am literally the stereotype of the LGBT* girl who likes to find Pinterest craft ideas.

THERE. I SAID IT.

Pinterest is the handiest social media for spreading creativity that has come out since Tumblr.

Let's take a look at some of the popular costumes, shall we?

1. The Fawn

Adorable, but reminds me of Bambi and kills the buzz.

2. Fruit Salad

To quote the Wiggles, "yummy yummy."

3. Time To Purge

Quick question: do you even bother doing your make up and how do you keep it looking nice?

4. Marilyn and Audrey

Vintage, classic, overdone.

5. The En-deer-ing Couple Costume

Nothing says "Happy Halloween!" then a costume that makes it look like your boyfriend wants to kill you.

6. Harley Quinn

We all knew this was coming after Suicide Squad.

7. BEE DOE BEE DOE BEE DOE

I can't even be mad about seeing Minions. I have such a soft spot for them.

8. F*ck Da Police

Am I right?

9. The 3 Offensive Mice

Like c'mon...

10. Referees

*Blows whistle* foul

11. KISS

WHY was this so popular this year? They have been around for so long, why 2016?

This gif is probably accurately representing you right now. Maybe it's because you dressed up as one of these costumes. Maybe your friend did it. Maybe it's just because it's so damn relatable.

Nonetheless, whatever you wore, I hope you did not get hypothermia, enjoyed the hell out of it, and it was sexy enough to get you laid.

Wait, my mom reads my articles.

Whatever.

Happy Halloween, 2016.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
