Halloween is right around the corner! Can’t decide what to dress up as? Throw it way back to your childhood and re-wear one of these classic costumes.

(You might want to make it hotter the second time around, though).

(Or don’t. You do you).

1. Cat.

It’s cute on kids; it’s cute on adults. It’s the classic girl’s costume. Ladies, you pretty much have to wear it at least once in your life, and if you wore it as a kid, you can always do it again.

2. Superhero.

Superheroes have been relevant for decades. Be Spider-Man like you were as a kid, or try out Deadpool, Captain America, or Iron Man. And this world can never have too many Wonder Women.

3. Princess.

Don’t pretend that you’re over the Disney Princesses just because you’re an adult now. Come on, put on the tiara and dress. Don’t be lame.

4. Police Officer.

A police officer is the classic “make the profession sexy” costume. But also little kid police officers are adorable, so it goes both ways.


5. Mario & Luigi.

Videogame classics. Grab a friend and revive the Mario Brothers costume.

6. Pumpkin.

There’s nothing cuter than a baby in a pumpkin costume. And at this time of year, there’s not a more memorable “How I Met Your Mother” moment than this one:

7. Witch.

Classic Halloween spookiness. Bring back the hat and the broom and the striped tights and the black dress. It’s easy, and it’s a classic.

8. Pirate.

Go generic or do your best Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, or Elizabeth Swan. You can’t go wrong.

9. Angel/Devil.

Make it hot or make it modest. Either way, you should get a friend and make it a partner costume.

10. The Powerpuff Girls.

Sugar, spice, and everything nice! I was Bubbles for half of my childhood, and I would do it again now.

11. Dorothy Gale.

Sure, Dorothy was supposed to be a kid, but The Wizard of Oz is timeless. A classic costume.

12. Lumberjack.

Admittedly I don’t know why lumberjacks are one of the common Halloween costume professions for kids or adults. But hey, at least as an adult your beard can be real this time, and denim and flannel never go out of style for guys and girls alike.

13. Nurse/Doctor.

Can you get through nursing/medical school? Maybe. Can you dress up as nurse or doctor for Halloween? Sure can! Besides, being smart is hot, right? So bring back the scrubs, stethoscope, and white jacket. *pretends that adult women’s nurse costumes actually include scrubs, because yikes at what they normally include*

14. Firefighter.

It’s a costume that looks cute on kids and cuter on adults. Gender equality is real because we can all be good-looking firefighters.

15. Hippie.

On a time crunch? Throw on a tie-dye, funky glasses, and anything with a peace sign.

16. Rag Doll.

Were you Raggedy Ann for Halloween as a kid? Be inspired and be a gothic rag doll this year.

17. Tiger.

Kids dressed up as ferocious cats are way too cute. Lucky for you, clothing stores are now selling tons of animal onesies.

18. Werewolf.

Werewolves are classic Halloween monsters. Also I’m one of those people that’s pretending the Twilight books/movies never went out of style, so maybe you could be Jacob Black. You’re welcome for the good idea.

19. Bumblebee.

Now that you’re an adult, you can bring back this costume and get a buzz while doing it. (If you’re into that).

20. Vampire.

This is the ultimate classic Halloween costume. Don your cape and fangs, and rock it!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
