13 Costume Ideas For This Halloween

If you’re like me, you’re probably scrambling to come up with a decent idea for a costume with Halloween just around the corner. Every year we tend to see the same nurses, cops, sports fans and witches that every costume store seems to sell. So if you’re looking for something a little more creative, here are a few unique (and not so unique because yeah, we only have so much time left to get those outfits ready) ideas for those last minute Halloween costumes.

1. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton


These masks are accurate AF and available in so many Halloween stores it's actually hilarious. I have a feeling we'll be having a lot of Donald Trumps running around next weekend. Talk about your creepy ass Halloween.

2. Clowns


And speaking of creepy, you can always go with the classic clown choice if you really want to freak out your neighborhood this year.

PS: Please don't. We've had enough creepy clowns these past few months to last a lifetime (though note my choice of a "happy" clown costume above.)

PPS: JK clowns are always creepy.

3. Joker and Harley Quinn


Kind of basic when it comes to costumes (I'm guessing we'll be seeing a lot of these too) but you can't go wrong.

4. Harambe


#RIP

5. Snapchat Dog Filter



Yes, this is actually a thing. Click here to go to Amazon and check it out for yourself.

6. Starbucks Drink

For the most basic of the basic bitches. Also, totally DIY-able.

7. Pokemon


With the craze for Pokemon Go this year, you'll be right in the trend with any Pokemon costume.

8. Snapchat filters


This one might take a little more artistry, but if you're good with a makeup brush then you should definitely give these unique looks a shot. Check out Patrick Starrr and Shay Mitchell's tutorial on how to make these Snapchat inspired looks here.

9. Life Alert and Old Lady


Would honestly die if I ever saw this in person (thank you Pinterest 😂).

10. Fuckboy and Dating App

Perfect for any millenial.


11. Whip and Nae Nae


Again, thank you Pinterest. Killin' it 😂.

12. Your favorite fictional character

Basically, any character ever created is fair game (*cough* Game of Thrones *cough*).


13. And if all else fails, “Wear all the black shit in your closet, put on a black mask and call yourself a mystery girl or night fairy.”


AKA me every year. (Quote courtesy of a friend who knows me too well).

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
