8 Ways to Dress Like A BadA**

Whether it's on the campaign trail or on the small screen, women everywhere are killing it, and there's no better way to honor them on Halloween than to dress up like them.

If you're looking for eight easy ways to channel a fellow bad b*tch this Halloween, look no further.

1. Hillary Clinton

Wear a suit, add a Hillary 2016 pin and work some pearls to gear up as this Democratic presidential candidate. Hanging out with a guy dressed up as your "First Gentleman" wouldn't hurt either.

2. Leslie Knope

You can repurpose your Hillary Clinton costume to dress up as everyone's favorite TV politician. Just swap out the Hillary pin for a plate of waffles and whipped cream or a framed picture of Vice President Joe Biden, and you're set for Halloween.


3. Beyoncé

While it seems daunting to try to emulate one of the most powerful women in the music industry, I'm sure Yoncé would want you to go for it. Channel Queen B by wearing black and yellow, plus a crown (because you're pretty much running the world), or a black leotard to pay homage to her look in the "Single Ladies" music video. Or just wake up flawless.

4. Ronda Rousey

Get pumped for Halloween by dressing up as one of the most dominant athletes in the ring today. Ronda Rousey knocks out her opponents in record time, so do her justice by donning all black, breaking out some black boxing gloves and putting on your best game face.


5. Abbi & Ilana from "Broad City"

Grab your best friend and move to Broad City for Halloween by dressing up as your favorite New York duo. The best thing about these costumes is that you can literally use clothes already in your closet. For Abbi, wear a tight blue dress or jeans and combat boots (bonus points for anything Oprah-related). Complete your outfit by carrying around Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons. As Ilana, wearing anything outrageous would suffice — maybe you can even find the infamous "Ilana bra."



6. Notorious RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg)

Dress up as the Supreme Court Justice who continually supports reproductive justice and the right to choose by channeling Notorious RBG, a persona based on Justice Ginsberg made popular on Tumblr. Throw on some thick-rimmed glasses, a crown, and a black robe, and you're ready for this Halloween as one of the baddest b*tches around.


7. Frida Kahlo

Pay homage to one of the most influential artists of the 20th century by sketching on her signature unibrow and wearing a flower crown, as well as a floral dress. Get inspiration from Bey's take on this classic costume.


8. Powerpuff Girls

Throw it back to your childhood by dressing up like one of your favorite heroes from back in the day. (Were you Blossom, Bubbles, or Buttercup?) Wear a pink, blue, or green dress with a horizontal black stripe. Bows and pigtails optional, general badass-ery mandatory.


No matter whom or what you end up dressing up as, remember to channel your inner bad b*tch this Halloween!

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
