Halloween is around the corner, and you know what that means? PARTIES, COSTUMES, and CANDY!!!!! (my favorite part). Although going to the store and buying a costume sounds like the easy route, it is also the route of looking like everyone else....and who likes to do that?! For those like me, who are on a college student budget, we must improvise and make costumes out of the clothes and our closet. Not everyone has to be a naughty nun, or sexy student, there are other ways to dress the occasion (even a bit more modestly)

1. Blues Clues - One of the cutest dog cartoons ever created! Recreate this look with a blue body suit (or shirt), pants, and blues clues costuome accessories that can be bought online.

2. Code Name Kids Next Door - This was one of the best squads of the early 2000's. Was I the only one who wanted a treehouse after watching this show? The costume concept is easy to follow too - just get a sweatshirt in the color of your character of choice.


3. Catwoman - So this look can go either way; very sexy, or very chic (and sexy). Just get a black body suit (or jumpsuit) , tall boots, and the necessary accessories and BOOM...well meow.


4. Kim Possible - The girl who was facetiming before there was a facetime! Her look is probably one of the easiest and most recognizable to imitate. We all have a black crop top and pair of cargos...well except me, so in that case we know someone with a pair.


5. Wednesday Addams - Petty before Petty was popular! Recreate the look with 2 pigtails, a little black dress, a button down, and a night full of petty-come backs .



SUPER HEADS UP - Although Halloween is fun, especially to dress up for, we must remember that not all costumes are appropriate. If a costume could offend someone, please do not select it. There are historic roots to some costumes being offensive to other people. Halloween is all about having fun in a safe in respectful way, not offending others by "dressing up like them".

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
