Halloween, also known as the best holiday ever, is finally here.

Maybe you've been planning your costume since November of last year, or maybe you're like the rest of us and are just now scrambling for ideas as you realize that your time is running out.

If you're like me, you'll be raiding your best friend's closet and rushing to the nearest Good Will so you can come with up with a clever but cute Halloween costume for this year.

So, for any girl who is struggling with ideas, these are some of the easiest, cutest and most basic Halloween costumes for the girl who waits until the last minute to find a costume.

1. Cat

I'll admit, I've done this costume several times myself because it's so easy and so cute.

2. Alien

Dressing up as an alien gives you an excuse to put your hair in space buns and cover yourself in glitter.

3. Unicorn

More glitter everyone!

4. Zombie

Zombies may not be as popular as they once were, but it's still an easy costume since all you have to do is put on a little fake blood.

5. Scarecrow

You just need to dress up in a flannel and a cute hat to pull off this costume.

6. Pirate

As a child, I went as a pirate for Halloween 4 years in a row. My love for a pirate costume will never die.

7. Mouse

You can either go as Minnie Mouse or just your typical, everyday mouse. Either way, hopefully everyone will know what you are.

8. Avocado

Because who doesn't love a healthy snack?

9. Bunny

Just another cute animal to dress up as.

10. Devil/Angel

A devil or an angel is a traditional costume that may say a little something about your personality.

11. Flapper

Nothing says prohibition and women's suffrage quite like being a flapper does.

12. Britney Spears in "...Baby One More Time"

This is your typical school girl outfit, but you can actually pull it off by saying that you're Britney Spears.

13. Sandy from "Grease"

Sandy is classy girl from a classic movie because apparently men will only go out with women who change their entire identity.

14. Elle Woods from "Legally Blonde"

If you love the color pink and aspire to go to law school, this is the perfect costume for you.

15. Holly Golightly from "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

Audrey Hepburn is the perfect Holly and you could be too this Halloween with the right LBD and sunglasses.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
