As you know, Halloween is coming up.

And now, if you haven't found one already, you're probably searching for fun and easy costume ideas.


Here are 5 easy Harry Potter-related costumes:

1. Basic Hogwarts Student

Because Hogwarts has a uniform, all of the students from Harry to Luna to Draco all wear variations of the same outfit. While you could go all-out in a robe and everything, the simplest version of the costume is just a white shirt, black bottoms, a striped tie of your house colors, and a black sweater or bathrobe. For characters like Harry (scar and glasses) or Hermione (time turner or Crookshanks), feel free to add on accessories!

2. Neville Longbottom Post-Hogwarts Effect

To be honest, Neville is one of the best people at Hogwarts, which was particularly evident after he joined the horcrux-killing team and saved the day, all while dressed well. For this look, you just need a patterned cardigan sweater and some fake blood (or anything similar, e.g. red makeup).

3. A House Elf

Although Dobby was kind of the best, any house elf would be fine to dress up as. All you need is a brown, gray or white sheet, two brown socks to put over your ears, a lone sock to carry around, and you're good.

4. A Potter Puppet Pal

Although not traditional Harry Potter, the Puppet Pals have become famous and beloved among the fandom. All you need is to wear all black, and then make a mask with a paper plate. You can attach it to a headband or string to get it to stay on your head, and then cover it in the basic eyes, nose, mouth, and character traits for whichever one you dress as!

5. Literally Anyone

With Polyjuice Potion, you can look like anyone, so if you really can't find a costume, you can always dress as yourself and carry around a water bottle, saying that you're simply *insert character here* with Polyjuice Potion.

Halloween is the best for Potterheads, so show off your outfits, whoever you're dressed as!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
