Halloween is approaching fast and it's time to hit the local costume store with your friends to find a few good outfits for the weekend. There are so many different ways you can go when it comes to dressing up and since you will most likely be needing more than one costume, it's fun to mix up your ideas. For example, one night you can wear a scary costume and the other, you can put together something cute. Another fun way to dress for Halloween is to match with one of your best friends! Here are some good ideas that you can keep in mind when putting together the perfect costume.

1. The Scary Costume

Dressing scary to parties requires a ton of fake blood and a terrifying look in your eye. Don't be afraid to take it too far by purchasing a creepy mask or wearing something that is guaranteed to make even you jump when you look at yourself in the mirror. You'll have people screaming in your face and running away in fear all night long.

2. The Funny Costume

If you are known for your humor, then dressing up funny is perfect for you. Funny costumes will definitely make everyone around you giggle and probably want to take multiple pictures of you. You will stand out in the crowd, so you won't need to worry about your friends losing you at big parties and, chances are, if you do get lost, people will know exactly who your friends are referring to when they explain your costume.

3. The Artsy Costume

These types of costumes are for people who are able to put paint to skin and make it look fantastic. Face paint and intense makeup will really bring this type of costume together. The best part about these outfits is that it doesn't really matter what kind of clothes you are wearing on your body because most people will be paying more attention to the work of art that is covering your skin and face.

4. The Sexy Costume

These are the most common types of Halloween costumes that you will see on a college campus. These are costumes that a lot of people decide to do and have probably done more than once. Dressing as a bunny or a cat is the easiest sexy Halloween costume and even though seeing them around gets old, you will continue to see about 50 girls wearing all black and sporting ears every single year.

5. The Cute Costume

These costumes require a lot of creativity and will make other people jealous that they didn't think of it before you did. As you walk through the party, you will most likely hear a few "awww"s passing by.

6. The Easy Costume

These types of costumes are for the one who completely forgets about Halloween and hasn't put any thought or time into finding an outfit. Usually they are created by rummaging through your closet and finding a few articles of clothing that look like they would go 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.
