Halloween Is A Lot More Fun When You're Wearing Clothes

Choose to be something other than scandalous.

Halloween Is A Lot More Fun When You're Wearing Clothes

Well, it's quite obvious that many women use Halloween as a night to show off their bodies and dress up like Playboy bunnies. Search Halloween costumes for women and the majority of outfits consist of limited clothing with a "sexy" component to it. From tiny nurse outfits to revealing law enforcement officers, just about any costume can be sexualized and many women take advantage of that and use Halloween as an excuse to dress up- more like dress down.

Being in college and going out on Halloween, I have never seen more women disrespect themselves with their choice of clothing. I have never seen so many Playboy bunnies in the same place at the same time. I've never seen more skin shown. And honestly, it's disturbing. Why use a night where you can be as creative and as funny as you want to be something that takes little to no effort and that any woman can be?

When your outfit consists of a bodysuit with a bunny tail while your chest and butt hang out excessively, you are not doing anyone any favors. Sure, you'll get looks and catcalls and maybe boost your ego a bit, but making men lust after you to affirm yourself is not the way to go. You have a lot more to offer the world than just your body.

You have the opportunity to be witty without saying a word or to be the most hilarious person in the room. You can really be whatever you want and you can do that while clothed. Don't let this culture shape your decisions. The norm of stripping down is a lot less fun than it seems.

Last Halloween, while all of my friends were good looking, sexy rockstars, I chose to be the fat suit wearing hobo and let me tell you, I got a lot more attention and compliments than any of my friends. It's a lot more fun to reveal more of my intellect side than my body. Do yourself a favor and be something other than scandalous for Halloween.

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.

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.
