Halloween: Costumes You Should Not Wear

Halloween.

One of my favorite holidays, next to Christmas. I still can not believe it is right around the corner! This year has went by so fast, it is ridiculous. Since it is almost time for tricks and treats, I decided to ask around about the costume do's and dont's this year.

All my reliable sources have told me that you should definitely be something you love and have always wanted to be. Whether it is your dream job, or your favorite character in a book, be something different. Don't be something that everyone wants you to be. Don't be something just because you see everyone else doing it.

Be yourself, not literally, but use your own imagination instead of someone else's.

Make your costume fun! Halloween should be a time of some serious fun memories!

Out of everyone I have asked, these are the top 4 they have picked that you should not wear this Halloween:

1.) A CLOWN

I'm serious guys, this epidemic has gone to far. People have been attacked, harrassed, and killed. You do know that if you are a clown that people are not going to take you seriously. If you go to far, someone might hurt you. Just know if you wanna be a clown, be prepared for people to avoid your presence.

2.) Harley Quinn or the Joker

I know there are a lot of new movies that have came out this year, but I'm just going to warn you that most people are going to be Harley Quinn and the Joker. Seriously. Ask any basic girl or dude. I mean, if you want to be them, do it, by all means, but don't be surprised when there are 5 people wearing the same costume as you.

3.) Politics

This is a touchy subject to begin with. If you plan on supporting your favorite candidate on Halloween, people could get offended. Not that it matters, it's Halloween. Though, the crazies come out that night and like I said before. You could get hurt for "supporting the wrong person".

4.) Terrorist

I had one guy tell me this and I was stunned. I asked him to specify, he said that he met a man last Halloween that wore a fake bomb and everything. You might hitch a ride to prison that night. So guys, please don't be a terrorist. If I could put a laughing emoji I would.

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.
