As the leaves turn to orange and shades of red, the crisp fall air reminds us that Halloween is almost here.

Halloween is here, and most of us are faced with the big question: What will you be? This is the time of year to show off your creativity, and have a new or different persona.

Lets face it,we all have that one go-to costume for a last minute party or get-up. Obviously, be whoever you want to be, but show your creativity!

Here’s a list of costumes that should be avoided, and are just plain wrong.


1. Sexy Cat

Let's stop. My cat called; she's highly offended by this.

2. Three Blind Mice

Lets all follow the general rule: if you don't have a certain disability don't pretend you do just for a Halloween costume.

3. Bunny

The first thing that comes to mind is Reese Witherspoons' character Elle Woods.We know none of us will ever be as perfect as she is, so why even try?

4. Risky Business

Lets all admit, we're all guilty of using the iconic dance scene from Risky Business as a costume, even I'm guilty of this.We can also admit it's not a creative idea, and should be put to rest.

5. Sexy Minnie Mouse

Please stop sexualizing my childhood. Minnie Mouse in my opinion is a symbol of feminism. She didn't take no shit from anyone, and quite frankly shouldn't be part of any adults costume. Leave it to the children.

6. Angel v. Devil

Some of us like to think of ourselves as bad bitches, but going as an angel and devil doesn't show that.This has been over used for years and isn't original. Try going as Alice from 'Resident Evil" franchise, she's a bad-ass chick.

8. The Purge

I get it. You think you're bad-ass, but the franchise is dead, and so is this costume.

9. Little Red Riding Hood

This is the one you wear and a million creeps ask you of you're scared of the big bad wolf?

10. Harley Quinn

When Suicide Squad arrived in theaters during summer 2016. Harley Quinn played by Margot Robbie became a pivotal part of Halloween that year, every girl, and I do mean every girl opted for this costume. It's been over done, and we should just let Margot rock this ensemble.

11. Any Profession

Let's be honest, scrubs aren't meant to be sexy. They're made for comfort.


Happy Halloween

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
