7 Halloween Costumes To Inspire You

It's October, which means it's the first day of Halloween. It's time to break out your decorations, baking skills, and most importantly, your costumes. What should you be for Halloween, though? Here are a few ideas, from classic to strange, that will inspire your costume for the 31st.

1. Rey from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"

The popularity of last year's new installment of the "Star Wars" series continues this year. Rey's costume is for sale from many costume retailers, and it seems easy enough to do yourself. If you love "Star Wars," then this is the costume for you.

2. Unicorn

While the unicorn is a classic mythical creature, it doesn't seem like being a unicorn for Halloween has been very popular until recently. Now, though, unicorn costumes come in a variety of styles. There are unicorn onesies (for adults) for sale, and a bit of creativity can allow you to create your own costume!

3. Charlie Chaplin

If you're looking for a fun but easy costume to put together, try this iconic face. Charlie Chaplin was a star in Hollywood in the early 1900s, acting in many silent films. The makeup is easy enough, with a pale base and black for the facial hair. Then take a trip to your local thrift store and pick up an old suit jacket, white shirt, and a bowler hat. After that, add a cane, and you are good to go!

4. Werewolf

The werewolf is one of the tried and true costumes that can still be unsettling. With the right makeup, the cheesy werewolf people think of can actually still make Halloween as spooky as it used to be. Release your inner animal this Halloween!

5. Baba Yaga

If you're thinking about being a witch this Halloween, don't go with your garden variety one. Become Baba Yaga, the evil witch that appears in Slavic folklore! She is said to live in a hut that walks around on chicken feet, and likes to eat people. She is the quintessential scary old witch, so celebrate her legend by paying homage to her with your costume.

6. Roaring 20's

It's almost the 20's again, believe it or not. This Halloween, pay homage to a century ago when flappers and mobsters dodged prohibition. While you're at it, you had better learn the Charleston, too.

7. Boxed Wine

Speaking of alcohol, a hilarious costume that has been gaining popularity lately is boxed wine. Show up to a Halloween party in this, and you will be getting complements and laughs all night.


If you were lacking creativity before, this should spark something for you. It's never too early to start planning for the best holiday of the year! Halloween is lurking right around the corner. Scary or funny, get to work on planning your costume!

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.
