It's finally Halloweek here at USC and I could not be more excited! Not only is it the week of Halloween, it's also my birth week. With my birthday being two days after Halloween, it's easily one of my favorite holidays.

I enjoy seeing the costumes that everyone decides on wearing but I hate seeing the same costumes year after year. I'm even guilty of being a basic black cat.

Here are basic costumes I hope not to see this week:

1. Aliens

Giphy

The combination of iridescent leggings, tutus, glitter and space buns is so 2000 late.

2. Witches

Giphy

This is the costume for all the basic witches in the world.

3. Cats

Giphy

Simple but played out.

4. Angels

Falling from the sky? More like falling from the land of basic costumes.

5. Devils

Giphy

They should make unoriginality the eight deadly sin.

6. Officers

Giphy

You don't have the right to remain basic.

7. Victoria Secret Angels

Giphy

Many girls dream of walking in the Victoria Secret fashion show but down the streets of Five Points is not a good start.

8. Playboy Bunnies

Bunnies are cute and adorable, this costume, on the other hand, is becoming too mainstream.

9. Military Girls

Giphy

Good thing camouflage makes you invisible.

10. Netflix & Chill

It was cute and original when the first group thought of it, now its been played out like the phrase.

11. Vampires

Giphy

These costumes suck, literally.

12. Referees

Being this basic should be a flag on the play,

13. School Girls

Giphy

Dressed up as a sexy school girl? Oops, you did it again.

14. Mermaids

Giphy

H2Oh no!

15. "Purge" Masks

This is not a test. This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of the week of Basic Halloween costumes in Five Points.

Happy Halloween, USC!!!

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
