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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
