12 Original Halloween Costume Ideas
Campus Riot

Halloween is slowly inching closer and closer and we all know everyone is stressing out to have a unique costume this year so here are some funny and original ideas that you can give your own twist on! Ditch the sexy or scary costumes this October and get in touch with your inner comedian instead...

1. Juan Direction

A fun twist on the fangirled boy band “One Direction”...Just get a group of friends some sombreros and mustaches and you will have a fiesta!

2. A Gold Digger

Turn this nickname into a festive word game by dressing up in all gold and carrying a small shovel. Dress the part while looking feeling good decked out in gold.

3. Damian from Mean Girls

Want to go down in history as the most fetch female? Dress the part by wearing a hoodie and sunnies and a sign that reads, “she doesn’t even go here!”

4. Shark Week

Get a group of friends and dress up as the most anticipated week of the year: Shark Week! Write the name of the week on a grey tee, splatter some fake blood, and throw on a shark hat and you’ll swim through the crowds!

5. Helga Pataki from Hey Arnold!

The key features of this highly bossy lady are a pink dress, pig tails, a pink bow, and a thick unibrow. You’ll look just like the cartoon character herself, have fun bossing everyone around!

6. Wednesday Addams

Calling all RBF-ers! Realistically, anyone can do this one. All you’ll need is an all black dress with a white collar, two braids, and the betchiest face for the public eye. Just forget how to smile, drink your daily poison, and be assertive. You’ll have people fooled that you’re the real deal.

7. Fraternity Boys

They are the most terrifying. Bros inside and out. Be sure to channel your inner total frat move by wearing Sperrys and creaming everyone in drinking games. Cuz, that’s all they do anyways, right?

8. “Cereal” Killer

This funny idea gives a funny twist to the creepy meaning. To get the look, wear torn and cut up clothing and stick small cereal boxes all over. Add a bloody knife and splattered blood everywhere and voila, no one will mess with you.

9. Wine Bag

Everyone loves a good box of wine! Dress up as your favorite flavor and you’ll be fifty shades of Franzia.

10. 404 Error

Are you the laziest person you know? Good. A plain t-shirt and a sharpie is all that you’ll need. You’ll be the most nonchalant one at the party.

11. Netflix and Chill


The Netflix marketing department is no doubt jumping for joy as they watch this costume on the internet. Who doesn't love Netflix? This is the perfect idea for a Hallow's Eve costume. Just throw on a shapeless red t-shirt and a huge bag of ice and you are ready to chill!

12. The 11th Instagram Like


Honestly, this person is always praised and usually seals the deal for most people. Let's be real, we all hit the refresh button until you see the lucky number "11" so why not be the most liked person at the party this October!

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.
