11 People You're Sure To See This Halloween
Tumblr

If you're like me, Halloween is basically the greatest time of the year (yes, I like Halloween more than Christmas). This lovely holiday brings out sides of people you may have never known existed. You see everything from ghouls and ghosts to people dressed as hot dogs. While it's impossible to write about every type of person you'll see this holiday, this list is a brief explanation of 11 of my absolute favorites. Enjoy.


1. The person who’s actually trying to be scary

Characteristics: Fake blood, perfectly blended fake scars, and a lot of ripped fabric. This is the person who finds it way too funny to scare the living hell out of everyone who, unfortunately, crosses their path. They spend hours tracking down all of the skin molds, masks, and other necessities to transform themselves into a living nightmare to cause chaos throughout the entire night.

Where you can find them: Probably hiding in the bushes waiting for unexpecting children to walk by so they can ruin Halloween night for them forever.


2. The kid whose parents definitely spent too much money

Characteristics: This child is adorned head to toe in an expensive costume. It’s safe to assume that they definitely shopped in the “deluxe” section of the Halloween store. You know exactly what I’m talking about. The fancy costumes hung up in garment bags that cost $200 a piece. The ones that you wonder why anyone would ever buy? Yeah, those. Those are the costumes these tiny humans are granted to wear for one night.


Where you can find them: Trick-or-treating in the rich neighborhoods. The ones with the big houses who give out king-size candy bars.


3. The kid who literally kills the costume game

Characteristics: Like our little Jack Skellington above, this kid is 100 percent costume goals. Their parents had a plan to turn their child into a Halloween masterpiece, and they executed it perfectly. This tiny human has put every adult’s costume to shame.


Where you can find them: On Pinterest.


4. The family who tried too hard to group costume

Characteristics: More than likely, the mom came up with this one. Like our lovely pirates, notice that neither the dad nor the kids are too pleased with their perfectly matching attire. No one likes family group costumes except for moms on Pinterest. No one.

Where you can find them: Either trick-or-treating in an average suburban neighborhood, or at a family Halloween gathering showing off mom’s amazing costume skills.


5. The couple who nailed the couple costume

Characteristics: Honestly, as much as you hate this couple for so flawlessly executing the couples costume, you can’t help but think of how perfect their costume game is. They took it to level 100 and crushed the competition. They will win every costume competition they enter, and you have no argument against it. Contain your jealousy.

Where you can find them: Prancing around in their perfectness making everyone around them wish they had a Mickey to their Minnie, or a Wanda to their Cosmo.

6. The guy who tried to be funny

Characteristics: This guy is the epitome of “too soon.” Costumes like “Caitlyn Jenner” and “Lion Killer Dentist” are examples of this one. This person is probably a little insensitive and doesn’t know that their costume is super offensive, or honestly just doesn’t care. Sorry bro, you’re not funny. Good luck next year.

Where you can find them: Again, probably downtown at a bar, trying to use his god-like humor to coerce girls into talking to him. Spoiler alert: rejection.

7. The person who hates Halloween

Characteristics: “This is my costume” t-shirts and “I’m going as myself.” This person hates dressing up, and takes no delight in transforming themselves for the sake of All Hallow’s Eve. Halloween is personally my favorite holiday, and this person just squashes all the joy that comes with it. If you’re like me and you love Halloween, I would just avoid this person for the night. Even more so than the “thinks he’s funny” guy.

Where you can find them: If this person even ventures out on Halloween, you’ll find them at a party they felt obligated to go to since it’s a friend who invited them, or you’ll find them sitting alone in the least Halloween infested bar possible trying to drown out the sounds of “boo"s and shrieks coming from the festivities outside.


8. The person in the homemade costume

Characteristics: This person went overboard on the Pinterest DIY’s and internet tutorials. They think they look like hot sh*t, but they kind of look like the cardboard robot costumes from the 70’s to be honest.

Except for this guy who couldn't even get the robot right.

Where you can find them: Parading around downtown in their creation, making sure as many people see them in their costume as possible.


9. The cosplay

Characteristics: Oh, the cosplay. Probably the most expensive of the Halloweenies running around. More expensive than the try-hard kid from number two? Yes. Halloween is like Comic-Con all over again for these individuals. Its just one more night of the year where they can break out their authentic Mortal Combat Scorpion sword replicas. They spend weeks (if not months) planning this costume in an effort to out-do their fellow cosplay friends.

Where you can find them: A house party thrown by one of said cosplay friends.


10. The girl in an overstuffed tutu

Characteristics: Honestly I have to admit, I am this person. I’m the person who always revolves my costumes around a tutu. Why? Mostly because its easy, and you can re-use them. Moving along, this is probably a sorority girl, or a six-year-old dressed as a princess (or a sorority girl dressed as a six-year-old princess a.k.a. me circa Halloween 2014).

Where you can find them: If you’re talking sorority girl, look for the nearest fraternity Halloween party. Six-year-old princesses are probably with their parents trick-or-treating.


11. The girl in lingerie and some form of animal “ears.”

Characteristics: This one, by far, is my favorite. This is the girl who wants nothing more than to be the person at the party with the least amount of clothing on. They have only covered the necessities, and have paired it with devil ears, cat ears, dog ears or someother kind of ears. Simple. Slutty. Perfect.

Where you can find them: Honestly, anywhere with alcohol and men.

Happy Halloween, everyone. Have fun seeing all of these people walking the streets soon.

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.

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.
