Halloween Costumes We Should Say Goodbye To

Halloween...the one day of the year that you can be ANYTHING or ANYONE you wish. Why settle for the typical costumes that more and more people try to recreate each year?

1. Police Officer

Let's be honest, at one point we've all thought about this very overdone costume. It's easy to recreate and still looks hot, but at every Halloween party, there are always at least two different versions.




2. The Playboy Bunny/ Sexy Bunny

Even though this was the fabulous Elle Woods' outfit of choice, that doesn't mean you have to try it out again. Odds are you won't look twice as hot as she did.

3. Sexy Cat

Probably the easiest and cheapest costume there is and excuse my wording but BASIC, too. Throw on your go-to most likely over-worn, see-through black leggings, a too small/ low cut black tank and some ears from the dollar store and BOOM: A costume.

4. Angel/Devil

The costume that you think, "OMG let's go as an angel and devil, it describes our personalities so well." I can guarentee there are many other costumes that describe you just as well.


5. Disney Princess

I can't even hate on this one as much as others because I was the Little Mermaid last year....BUT come on, way to ruin your childhood with making it as skimpy as possible. There are only so many Disney princess' you can portray and they are usually done in a group as it is. Last year, girls thought they were being original dressing up as the new princess Elsa, from Disney's Frozen...unfortunately, everyone was thinking the same thing.


Changing things up a bit. I have to be fair and also talk about overdone men's costumes.

6. Construction Worker

I can't even think of the amount of times I have gone out and seen a thrown together/last minute construction worker costume. Jean's, a hat, and vest is all it takes.

7. Doctor

I understand there are many drunk college guys who think it's funny to be a doctor or dare I say gynecologist running around from party to party...but like you would tell us... STOP being so generic/basic. Plus, you will never look like McDreamy or McSteamy.

8. Cowboy

Flannel, Jean's, cowboy hat and, if they're REALLY prepared, a pair of cowboy boots...need I say more?


9. Clark Kent

This is for all of the guys out there who think they are being original. Well...sorry guys, but every Halloween I see at least a few men dressed up as this, sporting fake glasses, a superman shirt and button up.

10. Pimp

First off...why would you even want to be this one day of the year? No, girls will think you're hot or funny...most likely kinda dumb looking, actually. In my own experience, I've found that the one that dresses up as a pimp and craves attention is usually the most drunk idiot.

THE MOST OVERDONE COUPLES COSTUME.....

11. Danny and Sandy

The movie, Grease came out 37 years ago and a plethora of couples each year show it's not going out of style as a costume anytime soon. Even though I must agree Danny and Sandy are two iconic movie characters..."You better shape up" and give other couples in history a chance!

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.

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.
