8 Basic Costume Ideas
SHuSHI168

Tis’ the season to be basic. When in college it seems that Halloween actually lasts an entire week, otherwise known as Halloweek. This means you need an outfit for every Halloween party you attend and you’ll be sure not to wear the same thing twice. Originality is hard but being basic is fun and easy! See below to find your potential Halloween costume choice.

The Cat/Mouse/Deer Costume

This costume is great if you’re a little short on cash but you can get your hands on a pair of cute ears and have extra eye liner laying around. Super cute, Super basic but you can’t go wrong with this look. Paired with all black (cat), all grey (mouse) or brown (deer) this is a great last minute costume.

The Vampire Costume

Want to make people question if you're actually bleeding or if its fake? Well all you need to fulfill your dream is all black or white clothes (add a red corset for some flare), fake teeth, red lipstick and fake blood. Pop in the teeth have some blood run down like you’ve just bit into some poor person’s neck and you’re looking scandalous and ready to go! To freak people out even more pour it all over you. Basic = Beautiful.

Harley Quinn

You’ve seen Suicide Squad and you have a huge crush on Margot Robbie. Well she did put the Bae in Baesic this year so this pricey costume is worth it. Hit up your nearest costume store and buy the outfit or check out pinterest for some DIY ideas. Now all you need is pink/blue eye shadow, red lipstick and temporary spray in color (pink/blue). Tada you’re hot and ready to go. Add a baseball bat for a nice touch but beware police are not so fond of this accessory.

*Blank* out of Harambe

I’m shocked that is now a basic costume choice but Harambae did go out with a bang (too soon?). Go out in style with a white shirt with your chest area cut out (obviously wear a bra) and for Harambe written in sharpie below... get it? Quick, easy and makes people laugh.

Naughty School Girl

Have a pair of suspenders and cheap glasses? If the answer is no Walmart/Target does. So strap up your freshly bought suspenders with a plaid skirt and white button down and you’re almost a basic school girl. All you need to do is pop out the lens in the glasses (unless you need them) and you’re ready to go out all nerdy and flirty!

Sexy Cop

You can’t go wrong with the cop outfit. Own black or blue? Throw it on and head to your nearest costume store to buy a cop hat, reflective sunglasses, badge and handcuffs and congratulations officer you’re ready to go patrol the party. (Side note: Wouldn’t recommend a fake gun.)

Out of This World (Alien)

Basically, all you need is glitter and two hairties. Throw the front of your hair into two little buns like Miley Cyrus likes to do and rub a little glitter on your face and boom you’re out of this world girl. Tip: Put on a cute “trippy” shirt you have for an extra touch of Outer Space Vibes

Risky Business

Black shades, Pearls, White high socks, Large men’s size white button down, and apparently shorts are optional now but please for the love of all that is Halloween wear shorts. *Click* “Old Time Rock and Roll blares on radio” as you slide into the party basic and ready to dance. Never gets old.


HAPPY 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. 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.
