It's Time To Stop The 'Slutty' Halloween Costume Trend

Lets stop picking out costumes just for the sexual appeal and start being more creative.

Halloween Costumes

It's October, and it's officially spooky season. Scares, scary movies, Halloween, the list could go on.

Halloween has been a big deal since we were kids because I mean who didn't want to wear a funny costume and get free candy? Even after I got to college, it was still fun for us to dress up just for the fun of it.

However, the older I got, the more popular the "slutty" costume trend became.

But why is this a thing? I always think about that scene from "Mean Girls," where the main character Cady makes the comment that Halloween is an excuse for girls to dress as slutty as they want, without the judgment. Well, I disagree.

It's 2018. Why are we still picking out costumes just for sexual appeal?

Now, these days the whole "body positivity" thing is very big, and I get that. Be comfortable with your body and wear whatever makes you happy, but I don't agree with wearing these slutty costumes because, let's be real, most of you are doing it because you like the attention it gets you.

Not only that, but it's fall. How are you all not freezing in the little clothes you're wearing? I live in the south so it may or may not be cold on Halloween night, but still. Why risk freezing just to show off your "goodies?"

It's time we stop this "slutty" costume trend. It's ridiculous.

Stop worrying about the attention from the boys. Don't dress for them. Don't use the "but it's Halloween I can wear what I want" excuse.

This Halloween, I challenge you to get together with friends, find a cute costume and have fun. Don't buy or create a "slutty" costume. Don't dress for the attention of a male.

There are so many other options out there. You can even make something cute for cheap. So be creative, instead of sticking to this dumb trend.

It's time we throw out the "slutty" Halloween costumes and never look back.

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.

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.
