5 Theme Party Ideas
Her Campus

1. Black Out or Get Out

Speaking from personal experience, this theme is most successful in the ability of its very name to attract attention. Its bold name speaks volumes to the type of bash this will be, and more serves to encourage a way for partygoers to appreciate a common goal rather than to actually enforce the unfortunate occurrence of blacking out. Some will infer from the theme to wear black- but definitely enforce this dress code for maximum impact.

2. Pajama Party

I list this mostly because I have never attended one, but judging from how amazingly comfortable and cozy wearing my onesie to a Halloween party was, it would not be a bad idea at all. I can only imagine the incredible situation of simply rolling into bed upon returning from a party, already appropriately dressed for a restful night of Z’s.

3. Toga Party

This is a universal crowd-pleaser because it speaks to partygoers of all levels- those who like to go all out can create their own toga out of sheets or whatever else they desire, and those who tend to choose comfort over effort can easily put on a white dress or top and use a headband as a decorative prop.

4. Loggers & Joggers

This one is popular for its versatility. There are so many ways to take it and no matter how everyone dresses, it results in a cluster of diversity- aka, a variety of flannels, Lulu lemon gear, and whatever else people interpret the somewhat-flexible definitions of loggers and joggers to be.

5. Hawaiian Luau

Rounding out the list is one that I have also never experienced firsthand, but while envisioning coconut bras and hula skirts, I don’t see where there’s room to go wrong with this one. set up a Tiki bar and serve tropical drinks, obviously with the little decorative umbrellas.

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.
