A College Girl's Guide To Halloween Costumes

Let me guess and say that you have not picked out your Halloween Costume yet..well just in case you forgot, Halloween is coming up VERY soon, and you should probably get on that like, as soon as possible. I'm not kidding, go get your costume ready. No one wants to be in stress mode come Friday night at Party City when they are all sold out of the most needed item for your costume. If you are still struggling as to what you should be, I have listed some tips to the different types of Costumes you will can be and will most likely see on your college-version Halloween Night.

The Always Easy Cat or Bunny

You should try your best to not fall to this costume, it's super unoriginal, plus there is going to be a handful of other kitties and bunnies running around, you want people to at least try and remember what you were for Halloween...right?

The Groups

If you don't want to dress up alone, bring in some of your friends and make it a group effort! That way you always have someone to confide in about what would be perfect with your costume. The only problem, if you are looking for something to be your own and stand out, clearly this is not the costume you are looking for.

The Only Some People Will Get This

Believe me, I am all for creativity, I applaud people who are incredibly creative, I wish I was like you. Although, I really do not recommend wearing a costume only some people will understand, or one that does not really show what you are. There's a pretty good chance that the people you encounter on Halloween are intoxicated, making it even harder to explain your costume to. That being said, if you wear a costume and people don't understand, DONT WORRY! If you're comfortable and feel great wearing that costume, go for it!

Your Favorite Disney Character

In my book, Disney is ALWAYS the answer. I have nothing to say bad about any costume from Disney you choose. Seriously, Disney all the way!

The Couples

If you and that special someone want to dress-up together, that's great! Have fun re-enacting a famous celebrity couple, or even a movie couple

The No-Need To Do Anything

Believe me, I love being lazy, so when it comes to costume making I would take the easy route. But that's just me personally. For me when it comes to an easy costume I always think of Risky Business, and wearing a long button-down and boxers. (Yes a girl can totally wear that on Halloween)

The One's That Are Super Clever

Back to my creativity post, if you have a boss-a** idea for a costume, GO FOR IT. You and your costume will be remembered if you have the best costume. Use your imagination, use Pinterest, but search for the best costume you can come up with.

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.

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.

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.
