Let Me Help You Decide Your 2016 Halloween Costume
Madeline Ashley

Halloween only comes once a year, and as we all know, it's the one night where a girl can dress a little slutty without being shamed for it. Growing up, I would watch movies where college Halloween parties would always entail a girl walking around in next to nothing on her body. Their boobs were pushed up, their (asses) were hanging out, but hey...they looked like they were having fun. So I took this as an obvious sign. A trend that led Halloween to bring out that inner wild side in a girl and every year made me believe that I too could dress sexy and confident in college.

In High School, you're usually too cool to dress up...but in college that's a whole other story. I do believe that if my mother and father went to a college Halloween party, they'd have heart attacks at not only what I was wearing, but what other girls were wearing...so I have to step back and ask...what should I be this year? I mean...is it really that bad to dress sexy, or is it a slam against women. Should we stop focusing on what will get a guy to like us, and start focusing on just having fun in our kick ass costume?

Let's all get real for a second. We know that this Halloween will be ruled by the girls who think that Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad will be unique. Let me remind you that drunk Harley Quinn's running around with a baseball bat at a college party with alcohol is maybe not the smartest decision a female could make, so what about being something that's still fun and different?

Last year, as embarrassing as this is I'll admit...I was the infamous (sexy?) kitten and a school girl. But I mainly did it because I knew that it would be fun, flirty, and honestly both costumes were pretty cheap to come up with. All a girl has to do anymore is go into her closet, put on a bra and a robe, run to Walmart and grab a pair of $10 fairy wings, and BOOM...you're a Victoria's Secret Angel. It's so easy, anyone can do it.

So this year ladies, I encourage you to put down the cat ears and baseball bats. Go on Pinterest, find that amazing and unique costume, and work it. I think we can branch out and rock this Halloween 2016.

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.
