8 Ironic Halloween Costumes That Won't Hurt Your Wallet Or Your Pride

With Halloween just around the corner, many are beginning their intense search for the perfect Halloween costume. You’re in luck! Here are some fun yet deadpan costume ideas that will have everyone talking.*

*No guarantees on what everyone will be saying, but rest assured they will talking about you.

1. The Sexy Ghost

A twist on an old favorite. Throw on the white sheet, draw a ghost face on it, and slip some sexy lingerie over it. Bam! You’re now the life of the party. This costume is unisex friendly and 98 percent vegan.

2. The Three-Hole Sheet of Paper

This costume is so easy to put together you’re probably already wearing ¾ of it right now. First, put on a white shirt. Then cut out three circles from black construction paper, and tape them an even space apart from each other in a vertical line on your left side.

(Putting the circles on the left side is critical for this costume to be factually accurate.)

3. GT Wi-Fi

A local crowd pleaser. All this costume requires is a white shirt with the words “Unable to join the network” written in sharpie on the front. That’s it. Be prepared for some intense halfhearted chuckles.

4. Identity Thief

This one requires a small amount of effort. If you don’t happen to have a pack of name tags in your possession, you will have to buy them and then think of as many average American names as possible to write on them. Once you’ve got all your name tags filled out, simply stick them all over yourself and Voila! Mediocrity at its finest.

5. Life

This is a fun costume to put your own unique spin on!

Carry around a bag of lemons and make sure you have a shirt or other article of clothing that says “Life” on it. The rest is up to you. How philosophical.

6. Facebook

As seen on TV! This costume made an appearance on "The Office", with Jim Halpert at the annual costume party—so you know it’s a goodie. Write the word "book" on your face. So millennial. So cutting edge.

7. The Breadwinner

After purchasing a plastic medal and a loaf of bread, this costume should put you in the hole about $4.32 exactly if you do it right. Not to mention your costume doubles as a snack. What more could you ask for?

8. The Iron Chef

This punny costume requires a plain apron with the Atomic Symbol for Iron (it’s Fe, as I’m sure you are all aware). You can even bring a spatula with you for extra kicks. That’s up to you to decide if it’s a cooking utensil kind of party.

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.
