12 Original Halloween Costume Ideas
Campus Riot

Halloween is slowly inching closer and closer and we all know everyone is stressing out to have a unique costume this year so here are some funny and original ideas that you can give your own twist on! Ditch the sexy or scary costumes this October and get in touch with your inner comedian instead...

1. Juan Direction

A fun twist on the fangirled boy band “One Direction”...Just get a group of friends some sombreros and mustaches and you will have a fiesta!

2. A Gold Digger

Turn this nickname into a festive word game by dressing up in all gold and carrying a small shovel. Dress the part while looking feeling good decked out in gold.

3. Damian from Mean Girls

Want to go down in history as the most fetch female? Dress the part by wearing a hoodie and sunnies and a sign that reads, “she doesn’t even go here!”

4. Shark Week

Get a group of friends and dress up as the most anticipated week of the year: Shark Week! Write the name of the week on a grey tee, splatter some fake blood, and throw on a shark hat and you’ll swim through the crowds!

5. Helga Pataki from Hey Arnold!

The key features of this highly bossy lady are a pink dress, pig tails, a pink bow, and a thick unibrow. You’ll look just like the cartoon character herself, have fun bossing everyone around!

6. Wednesday Addams

Calling all RBF-ers! Realistically, anyone can do this one. All you’ll need is an all black dress with a white collar, two braids, and the betchiest face for the public eye. Just forget how to smile, drink your daily poison, and be assertive. You’ll have people fooled that you’re the real deal.

7. Fraternity Boys

They are the most terrifying. Bros inside and out. Be sure to channel your inner total frat move by wearing Sperrys and creaming everyone in drinking games. Cuz, that’s all they do anyways, right?

8. “Cereal” Killer

This funny idea gives a funny twist to the creepy meaning. To get the look, wear torn and cut up clothing and stick small cereal boxes all over. Add a bloody knife and splattered blood everywhere and voila, no one will mess with you.

9. Wine Bag

Everyone loves a good box of wine! Dress up as your favorite flavor and you’ll be fifty shades of Franzia.

10. 404 Error

Are you the laziest person you know? Good. A plain t-shirt and a sharpie is all that you’ll need. You’ll be the most nonchalant one at the party.

11. Netflix and Chill


The Netflix marketing department is no doubt jumping for joy as they watch this costume on the internet. Who doesn't love Netflix? This is the perfect idea for a Hallow's Eve costume. Just throw on a shapeless red t-shirt and a huge bag of ice and you are ready to chill!

12. The 11th Instagram Like


Honestly, this person is always praised and usually seals the deal for most people. Let's be real, we all hit the refresh button until you see the lucky number "11" so why not be the most liked person at the party this October!

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
