Halloween Is Approaching

Halloween Is Approaching

As Halloween approaches, costume ideas are surfacing. When you think of Halloween costumes for girls, the same categories pop up in everyone’s head: some type of sexy officer -- such as a cop or firefighter -- and some type of animal, like a cat or bunny. But, those are not very memorable. When you are dressed as a cat, along with 20 other girls in the room, nothing makes you stand out. Not many people remember a certain girl in a firefighter or bunny costume. But they do remember that girl with the funniest Halloween costume. Almost every girl tries to dress seductively, and although most guys like that, be the girl who is remembered because of her hilarious and creative costume. 

One of the easiest and funniest costumes you can do, even with a couple friends, is a bag of Franzia wine. All you need is a really large clear trash bag that you can fit in, and some tissue paper. Cut out holes for your legs and tie the opening part of the bag around your waist, chest or shoulders. Next, fill up the bag you are inside of with yellow, pink or red tissue paper. 

This next theme, a shower theme, could be for however many people want to join. One idea is bubbles! Blow up 20 white and blue balloons. Just wear a white shirt and shorts and tape all of the balloons to your clothes. Next, is a bar of soap. All you need for this costume is a box you can wear comfortably. Wrap the box in white paper and write, “soap,” on it, or any specific brand of soap. Last is a loofah. For this, you will need about 20 yards of nylon matte netting, elastic and some rope. Cut the netting into multiple pieces, fold the netting, bunch up the middles and tie it with elastic. Tie all of the tied up netting onto two different ropes (half on each), then put one around your waist and the other around your chest. Attach a circled up piece of rope to the top of it. 

A really simple costume you could do with quite a few people is the seven dwarfs from Snow White. All it takes is seven different colored t-shirts, high-waist shorts and beanies. You can write on the beanie which dwarf you are.

The last idea is the three blind mice. You can really make this one cute. Make a pink, black and grey tutu out of tulle, wear a black shirt with mouse ears and carry around a cane.

There are hundreds of costume ideas out there. You don’t always have to wear short skirts and tight shirts to be remembered at a Halloween party. Sometimes, the most memorable ones, that are the biggest hit, are the really creative, funny ones.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
