What Your Halloween Costume Says About You

Trick or treat!

What Your Halloween Costume Says About You

It's that time of year again. Candy corn, Disney Channel Original Movies, pumpkin flavored everything- oh, and girls in skimpy doctor and jungle animal costumes all over the place. No matter what kind of costume you wear, it says a little bit about who you are and how you view Halloween.

Something basic

All you need is a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks and you're set. You aren't much of a risk taker and know you'll look cute dressed as a cat, so there's no reason to deviate from the norm. Your Instagram post might be weak on likes because it looks like every single picture on every person's feed. You don't want to waste your Starbucks money on a costume, but you're in luck because you've worn the same mouse ears 7 years in a row.

Something funny

You don't take anything too seriously and your finsta is on point. Your costume might be inspired by the latest meme or presidential candidate, and you're sure to make everyone around you laugh the whole night. You don't care about looking "sexy" on Halloween because all that matters to you is having a good time. Even if all of your friends are dressed as bunnies, it doesn't stop you from going as a life-sized banana or Hillary Clinton.

Something scary

Halloween is a BIG deal to you. As a holiday, it trumps your birthday, and you wait all year to dress as the corpse bride or a vampire (not the sexy kind). You're obsessed with American Horror Story and The Walking Dead, and you secretly wish you were on one of these shows. You binge watch horror movies like it's your job. Your friends don't understand why you spent $50 on a costume that included red colored contacts, but to you, the scarier the better.

Something scandalous

To you, less is more. It doesn't matter what you go as- a nurse, a police officer, a nerd--it's going to be scandalous. You're confident and love having an excuse to dress as a hot construction worker for the night. Your Snapchat story is 200+ seconds long. There's no limit to the amount of "candid" pictures you make your friends take of you. You probably get disapproving Facebook messages from family members when they see your pictures, but that doesn't stop you. You know you look good.

No costume

You're obviously the life of the party.

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.
