6 Unique Halloween Costumes Anyone Can Try

" HAPPY HALLOWEEN.....!" someone screams as they walk out their last class on Friday.

"Halloween is Monday," some stranger says as they stumble to the long Qdoba line.

Yes, you heard it right. Halloween 2016 falls on a Monday, which basically means death (pun intended). But that can't stop you and your squad from going out and celebrating the spookiest holiday of the year. That's what #Halloweekend is for! Halloweekend is for college students who like to celebrate this holiday Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. WHOA. You were just hit with a ton of bricks. Three days?!? That means...THREE COSTUMES?!? Where am I going to get the creativity and money to have three costumes?

Don't fret, young child. I am here, with experience in struggling to find a costume the day before Halloween. You don't want to be basic. You have come to the right place.

1. Rachel, from "Friends"

I recently saw this on Instagram a few days ago. I thought this was very creative, something I've never seen before. And it's very simple, even I could do it! All you have to do is get an apron, a white crop top, a black skirt and black flat-top wedges. Then, just print out a picture of the "Central Perk" sign and paste it onto your apron. And boom- you are a hip 90s waitress from Friends.



2. VS Pink Angel



Showing off your ~scandalous~ side, this one is actually easy to grab and go before your weekend festivities begin. All you need is a pair of wings, which you can easily pick up from the Halloween store, a satin robe, undergarments, and if you want to go the extra mile, and a halo. You could do it or you could get your entire squad to do it. Either way, you will look fierce and ready to hit the town (or bed).

3. Cinderella


I don't mean the cheesy Disney princess so many college girls have repeated. No, I'm talking about the repeat of "A Cinderella Story" when she disobeyed her stepmother's orders and went to the Homecoming dance. Don't remember? She was wearing a big white ball gown (like the Disney movie). Instead of you wearing a big white ball gown to a frat party, get a white tutu, a white crop top, and strappy sandals. Don't forget that mask- maybe you could meet your Prince Fraternity Man.

4. One-night-stand/walk-of-shame


No, I don't mean go out and get a boy and just call yourselves a one-night-stand. I mean get a real box, and make yourself a nightstand. Get it? You'll get a lot of laughs and hey, at least you have somewhere to put your phone and keys.

5. A basic frat boy.


This might have been done quite a few times, but let's get on with that. So apparently it's been acceptable for a ~man~ to dress up as a "basic white girl" and showcase it all over social media, making it viral. I, a self-proclaimed white girl, don't take offense to this but find it a little comedic that no one ever pokes fun at being a "basic frat boy." They just call them "Fratty" or "douch-y." Well ladies, let's get into formation and shove it right back. Go ahead and dress up as the "basic frat boy." That is, take your last hookup's sweatshirt (with his letters on it) and wear it, with khakis, and boat shoes. Add some croakies (with the sunglasses attached) and grab that beer coozie. You'll fit right in with the fraternity party you're going too later. There, once you're at the party, approach any boy and ask "who do you know here?" You'll get a lot of kicks and giggles. That is, until you get kicked out for impersonating a brother.

6. A bed.


Let's face it, my bed is my favorite part of my day. I get to come home, lie down, and sleep in the coziest place of my apartment. Why not stop at my apartment, though? Grab a sleeping bag, a pillow, make sure you can tie it around so it sticks up when you walk, and there you go. You have a perfectly acceptable sleeping place when you want to pass out at that party. Just be careful about inviting any strays into your happy place. You never know what weirdos are out there.

Honorable mention: Taylor and Kanye


I saw this recently and had to put this in the list of unique costumes. This past summer, and ever since 2009, there has been an ongoing feud between Taylor and Kanye.

Take any of my ideas, or not. The choice is yours.

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.
