With Halloween being right around the corner, I'm sure you're seeing the countless costume choices in ads and on the shelves. Whether you participate in Halloween or not, it's fun to see the costumes that people creatively choose and create. No matter what age you are in, I am sure you have memories about receiving candy, trick-or-treating, and all the costumes. To all the 90’s kids out there, I’m sure you have seen these costumes (if not worn several):

1. Princess or Fairy

I certainly have been a princess/fairy in my toddler years. I wore the wings and sparkly dress. It is a classic.

2. Teletubbies

If you're not familiar with the characters Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa and Po, this google description may give you some insight: "[They] frolic and play in the idyllic Teletubbyland, while a baby's face in a sun coos and laughs. The Teletubbies have televisions in their stomachs on which they watch real children." How much better can it get than that?

Then we have original Disney princesses, of which everyone has their favorite:

3. Pocahontas

I never rocked this outfit, but my sister certainly did! It is a fun one.

4. Jasmine

This is probably one of the most comfortable costumes out there.

5. Belle

*This is a personal favorite in my sphere of influence.

6. Snow White

Fun fact: my dad handmade a Snow White costume for me when I was in elementary school. I didn't know he could do that ... I don't know if he knew either because my costume was falling apart by the end of the school day. It's the thought that counts! Now I have a funny memory and we saved some money!

7. Power Rangers


They were pretty legit back in the day. How many of you wish you could've worn one of these?

And for the boys/girls who didn't want to be princesses:

8. Batman/Spiderman/Superman

You have to admit these are great.

9. Michael Myers

I hated seeing these costumes around because they are so freaky, but they were quite popular.

10. Scream (mask with & without blood; glow in the dark)

The the Scream movies came out, and many people had these masks during Halloween. I get the goosebumps looking at this. (Can you tell I don't like scary movies?)

11. Where’s Waldo?

Found them!

12. Xenon ("Xenon: Girl of the 21st Century")

Modest, futuristic, fashionable... what more could you ask for?

13. "Saved by the Bell" Characters

This was a little bit earlier in the 90's, but there were many re-runs on TV after the show was off air.

14. The Adams Family

Cooky, mysterious, and spooky...

15. The Rugrats

The shoelaces are even untied!

16. Edward Scissorhands

This seems uncomfortable.

18. The Powerpuff Girls

Sugar, spice and everything nice!

19. "Toy Story" Characters

You can't go wrong with this movie.

20. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Adorable!

So, I hope this brought back memories of your childhood or gave you some insight on another generation. As we look at the costumes today, there are different princesses, heroes and scary movie characters based on the movies produced for this new generation ("Frozen," "Brave," "Kung Fu Panda," etc.). I'm sure we'll see more changes as the media influences our ideas and creativity.

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.

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.

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.
