Top 10 Basic Halloween Costumes

It's that time of year again! Fall is in the air, the leaves are changing, and pumpkin spice surrounds you. With just a few weeks left before the infamous "Hallo-weekend", you've probably started to think about how you're going to dress up. Each year you try to think of a unique, creative costume that will turn heads, and each year you're stuck. There are a few costumes, however, that always cross your mind. These are the top ten basic halloween costumes.

1. Black Cat

Classic. You're scrambling last minute to find something that will make you look hot. The black cat is your go-to because it literally only requires ears and black clothing. Meow.

2. Bunny

Similar to the cat, this look is simple; the main focus is bunny ears! Other than that, you can pretty much throw together whatever you want. For some reason, this costume tends to have minimal clothing.

3. Devil

Want to show off your bad side but still look cute? Devil it is.

4. Victoria's Secret Angel

Well, since you can't be one in real life, you might as well pretend when you get the chance.

5. Risky Business

All you need to do is borrow your guy friend's dress shirt, throw on some socks, and tie it all together with a cool pair of shades. Timeless.

6. Schoolgirl

Smart is sexy, right?

7. Sports Player

You'll probably be the least athletic football player in your short-shorts and eye black. But hey, at least you tried.

8. Military Girl

Got camo? Done.

9. Rosie The Riveter

This is a great way to show off your feminist side, and still get a chance to rock red lipstick and a bandana. You go, girl.

10. Frat Boy

Last, but definitely not least, the frat star. This is similar to Risky Business, with the classic dress shirt, however being a frat star is not only about the costume. It's about the attitude, too.

There's nothing wrong with keeping it simple. After all, we are lazy, broke college kids. And, there's no doubt that there will be countless of these basic costumes at every single party you attend this Halloween. So, either join the crowd and break out your cat ears, or start brainstorming something legendary.

Happy Halloween!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
