13 Most Worn Costumes at JMU

This weekend was JMU's pride and joy: Halloweekend. Leaving all responsibilities behind, students took over the town of Harrisonburg with all sorts of costumes. What can I say? We love dressing up! Here's my list of the most worn costumes at JMU from this past weekend.

1. Harley Quinn

This one tops the list for the obvious reason that every other girl you saw this weekend was wearing this costume. Do you think everyone actually watched Suicide Squad?

2. Ken Bone

Everyone's favorite debate audience member. Ken Bone stole our hearts in his back-up outfit, after his suit ripped the night of the debate. What did he ask about again? Energy and the economy or something?

3. Playboy Bunnies

This classic costume will be worn for generations. As Cady Heron once told us, "In girl world, Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it." Shoutout to all the bunnies this year; it takes a bad ass female to pull that off.

4. The Purge

This one gave me the creeps all night long; the ripped up shirts, blood, and smiling masks. Definitely a popular one, but you had me running the other direction.

5. Netflix and Chill

One of the coziest costumes of the night, but for a 75 degree Halloweekend in the 'Burg, I'm guessing, in hindsight, it wasn't that great of an idea.

6. Superheroes

What can be more fun than spandex, capes, and masks? Guilty of this one. Embracing my inner Wonder Woman had me feeling like I could take on the world.

7. Top Gun

30 years since its release, people still love Tom Cruise. The olive green flight suit makes anyone look like a hunk. Oh, and don't forget your Aviator glasses!

8. Day of the Dead

Much respect for this one. I can't imagine the time that went into the make-up of this costume. I guess we saw them in pairs, because girls had to do each others make-up.

9. Mexican Gangsta'

22 Jump Street definitely laid out the idea for this costume. Plenty of people were impersonating Channing Tatum's character, when he says, "My name is Jeff." The 40s in paper bags were a nice touch.

10. Cat

I love a last minute costume; throwing on all black and a pair of ears that have been in your closet since middle school is really the way to go. I mean your just going to get beer spilled on you all night anyway.

11. Risky Business

Wearing pants is overrated. It's basically a necessity to have a collared shirt at this point, so why not make it into a costume?

12. Cops

This one was my favorite, when Harrisonburg police came to break up the party, and hugged the kids in cop costumes.

13. Referees

Thanks for not blowing your whistles all night long.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
