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.

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.
