5 Easy, DIY Couple Costumes For You And Your Boo

I know, couples costumes, ew. But as much as we hate them we also love them. They are disgustingly cute and I am guilty of forcing my boyfriend into one every year. We are also broke college students so buying one of those pricey costumes for one night is pretty much out of the question. Fear not, I am here to show you the best homemade couples costumes and where one can get the necessary supplies.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy

Obviously, I forced him into being mermaid man and barnacle boy, which if I do say so myself was a pretty awesome costume. I mean what's better than dressing up as two old, retired superheroes? By the way, the answer is nothing! Well, I said I'd tell you where to get the stuff for the costume, so here it goes. The socks and my tee are from Target, along with the gloves (I know the wrong color, I tried.). The slippers are from Walmart and so are the green tights, the orange shirt is his high school shirt. And the shell bikini and M belt are cut from construction paper; I know, they're so good you thought we bought them.

Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable

So this one obviously isn't my boyfriend and me, but I found it on Pinterest. Cute, right? So Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, the most iconic duo of the 2000s. This is a pretty simple costume to make. The shirts and pants can be bought at any store that sells shirts and pants, my go to would be Target for sure. And if you're not blessed enough to have red hair than a red wig would be needed, which can be found at Target as well.

The Stanley Cup and a hockey player

My personal favorite, the Stanley Cup, and a hockey player. This one is super easy to do if your other half is a hockey player, they're half of the costume is complete then. But for those of you that don't have a hockey player another half, then the jersey can be bought online or at any sports store. For the Stanley Cup part, all you'll need is a sparkly silver dress, some printer paper, silver spray paint and a bowl. All you need to do is print out the NHL logo onto the printer paper, cut it out and then tape it to the dress. Then spray paint the bowl with the silver spray paint and attach it to a headband. And there you are, a hockey player and the Stanley Cup.

Salt and pepper

This costume is for all you last minute couples. It is by far the easier to make and still looks super awesome. You just need jeans, an S shirt, and a P shirt. And if you can't find the shirts then just print out the S and the P and tape it onto the shirts. And that is how you will become salt and pepper.

JFK and Jackie O

This costume is iconic, JFK and Jackie O. You can't get more iconic than that and this is also a super easy costume to make. Almost all guys have a suit in their closet with a red tie and white shirt, so that half is taken care of already. For the Jackie O costume, you just need to choose any of her iconic outfits and find their modern-day copies, for this I would advise Target. Target literally has everything.


In my opinion, these are the top five costumes for couple costumes. They are super easy to put together, aren't super complex, and they are 100% guy friendly. So no complaining from them. I mean who doesn't want to be JFK or a hockey player. So here they are the top costumes and where to get the supplies. Happy Halloween!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
