October has officially arrived, and I'm sure all of you are thinking about what you want to dress up as for Halloween. To get your creativity flowing, here is a list of 50 Halloween costumes:

For those who like to do things in groups:

1. "The Purge" - Let's be real, it still hasn't gotten old, and we still see it retweeted onto our timelines as "friendship goals." Every. Single. Day.

2.One Direction - Just please, God, only make sure that there are four of you.

3. "Scooby Doo" cast - Okay, maybe I'm just a little obsessed with them, but it's so incredibly accurate with the five colleges. So find a friend from each school and get together to actually live the stereotype.

4. Frat Boys - It's the most basic college girl costume, but it's probably also the cheapest. All you need is a button-down shirt, some boxers, a tie, and maybe a snapback, depending on what type of frat look you are going for. Honestly, any chance you get to make fun of a frat boy, take it. I was a frat boy last year (see picture below). It was painful.

5. Minions - Okay, I'm not quite sure what the obsession is -- maybe it's because I have never seen the movies -- but Minions are everywhere. Everywhere I look, there are Minion stickers, posters, stuffed toys, everything you can imagine.

6. Ninja Turtles!

Disney Princesses:

7. Cinderella - Excuse to get nice new heels that look like glass slippers.

8. Ariel - Oooooh, red hair.

9. Belle - An excuse to wear yellow, a.k.a. the ugliest color ever, unless of course you go with her basic blue dress and hair bow.

10. Aurora - Sleep is good. Sleep is beauty. She's sleeping beauty.

11. Jasmine - Magic flying carpet and genie not included.

12. Rapunzel - Let down your hair.

13. Pocahontas - A more-than-perfect excuse to wear those fringe boots that shouldn't be allowed on people's feet ...

14. Snow White - Make sure you have seven dwarfs!

Basic last-minute costume ideas:

16. A witch - All you need to do is buy a witch hat, located at your local Halloween store.

17. A zombie - Put all of that make-up you never use to good use and find a zombie make-up tutorial on Pinterest or just watch "The Walking Dead" for inspiration.

18. A cat - You can buy cat ears at any accessory store, or maybe even at an arts and crafts store.

19. A bunny - We've seen it in all the movies.

20. A lady bug - Add black dots to a red shirt. There you go.

22. Basically any other animal or insect.

My personal favorites:

23. Greek Goddess / God - Toga! Toga! All you need is a bed sheet and a gold wreath head piece of some sort.

24. Hillary Clinton - Yes, you can buy a scary-looking Hillary Clinton mask. It's very similar to what one would buy for a Purge costume.

25. The Donald - Also similar to the Purge costume, it looks very similar to the mask of Hillary Clinton. They are twins.

I apologize for scaring you all with that mask but it's just too accurate. If you are still stuck on what to dress up as for Halloween, go to Pinterest. It is a lifesaver. I hope you all have a good month of October and a fun Halloween!

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.

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.

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.
