The Best Pop Culture Halloween Costumes This Year
@leyla5280

2016 has been nothing short of interesting. Full of political turmoil, memes, great movies, Netflix hits, Queen B slaying, Pokemon dominating the summer, and Olympic scandals. Here are my top picks for pop culture Halloween costumes that I think we're going to see a lot of. Do you have your costume yet? If not, maybe this list will help you figure out what you wanna be! You still have plenty of time to go out to the store or scour your house for your costume.

Beyonce "Lemonade"

If you can find a ruffly long yellow dress, a crimper, and a baseball bat, you’re in business.

Snapchat filters

I still haven’t figured out my costume this year, but I’m really leaning towards a snap filter! It would be a lot of fun to do and super simple! Just need to find a onesie to pair with it :)

Emojis

My 2 favorite emojis are heart eyes and the crying laughing face. This is the pumpkin I just carved last night. I love it!



Presidential Candidates

Since we don’t see enough of Clinton and Trump’s faces on TV and the internet, be prepared to see them roaming your city on Halloween.

Ken Bone

The man who captivated a nation during his 15 minutes of internet fame. All you need is a mustache, glasses, and his iconic red sweater for this costume!

Ghostbusters

So many options to choose from with this wonderful cast.


Eleven from "Stranger Things"

Eleven would be a super easy costume! Just need a blonde wig (or not if you're going for her bald look) and some 80’s looking clothes. She’s a BAMF!

Short hair Cersei Lannister from "Game of Thrones"

Right after she blew things up. Don’t forget your glass of wine!

The Shame Nun From "Game of Thrones"

In my opinion, she's single-handedly the most annoying character from this show. It would be a great costume though!

"Formation" Video Beyoncé

Sis, if you can pull this look off... you're going to slay!

Ryan Lochte/Lochtegate 2016

Just dye your hair white blonde and throw on a wind breaker or exercise suit. Maybe throw a medal around your neck. Bam!

Harambe

Because Harambe. RIP friend.

Pokémon

Remember that one game this summer?

"Deadpool"

One of the most popular movies of 2016

Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad

I’ve seen a ton of Suicide Squad cosplays already this year

Happy Halloween! Stay safe out there. I hope you don't run into any CLOWNS!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
