It's Halloween season and excitement is in the air. Everyone is gathering up all their candy for the big night and figuring out what they want to dress up as this year. And while yes, when you head to your annual Halloween parties you'll see your fair share of firefighters and ghost costumes just like every other year, but here are some unique costume ideas from old Nickelodeon shows that may spark a brilliant new idea:

1. Spongebob Squarepants


The Krabby Patty fry cook is a staple for all '90s kids. Whether you grew up on Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network, chances are you had your fair share of the talking yellow sponge when you were young. Throwing on the smiling face of Mr. Squarepants will give any trick-or-treater a nod of approval from their friends.


2. Arnold and Gerald from Hey Arnold!

"Football Head!!!!!' Dressing up as either one of these two characters from Hey Arnold will bring wonderful memories back for any '90s kid. The show, which in my opinion was one of the more underrated shows of the old Nickelodeon, is iconic for the appearance of the characters. Arnold's recognizable head and Gerald's flattop hair style would be a perfect costume duo with your best friend.


3. Contestants from Legends of the Hidden Temple

Arguably one of the best shows that was on Nickelodeon's game show channel, The Legends of the Temple captured the heart of many '90s kids. Whether you aligned yourself with the Blue Barracudas or the Silver Snakes, if you muster up a team shirt and a gold helmet, you will receive respect this Halloween.


4. Any Rugrats Character

Whether you decide to be Stu, Tommy Pickles, or even the evil Angelica, you can't go wrong with any Rugrats character. Like Spongebob, Rugrats appeals to everyone and is still even relevant today. And yes, even though you're not really a baby, you can pretend to be just for one night. And while each character has a distinctive look, you and your friend group can all dress as the children in order to complete the famous baby group.


5. Double Dare 2000 Contestant


One of the few trivia shows '90s Nickelodeon had to offer, the show was also one of many's favorites. Competing in challenges and answering questions, it didn't get better than that. And also, the slime. Were you really a kid in the '90s if you never had a dream of getting slimed? I'm willing to argue probably not...If you decide to be a contestant from Double Dare, you better know your trivia.


6. Nickelodeon GUTS Contestant

Were you even a '90s kid if you never had a dream of climbing and conquering the Aggro Crag mountain? I can admit personally, it was always a dream of mine to try and climb that treacherous mountain. And now this Halloween you can at least pretend like you did! Especially if you pick up a replica piece of "mountain stone" that can be found on the internet, it makes as the perfect prop while you show off your championship on GUTS.


7. Catdog

Definitely one of the stranger Nickelodeon shows, Catdog is recognized by many '90s kids. Because there is obviously cat and dog, this costume would be perfectly fit for you and your significant other, or even your brother or best friend.


8. Doug

Although I didn't watch much of Doug when I was a kid, I know many people did. With the symbolic Q on his chest, if you dress as Doug this Halloween I guarantee you'll get some high fives from the '90s kids for bringing back a lesser known Nickelodeon classic.


9. Jimmy Neutron

One of my favorite shows, Jimmy Neutron, can be and should be brought back to life this Halloween. This costume doesn't require much beside a t-shirt and a wig of the iconic Jimmy Neutron hair. Walk around yelling "Brain Blast" all night and you're sure to have the best costume of the night. And if you're really feeling crazy, dress your dog up like a robot and bring him around, pretending he's Goddard.


10. Fairly Odd Parents

If you're looking for a magical Halloween costume, being Cosmo or Wanda might be the right fit for you. Fairly Odd Parents is one of the greatest cartoons Nickelodeon ever hosted, and if you show up to your Halloween party dressed as a fairy, you will get respect, trust me. Of course, because Cosmo and Wanda are together, these costumes are best to go together with another person, and if you want, have another friend be Timmy, and you're all set.


11. Kenan & Kel in Good Burger Skit

Kenan and Kel were two of the biggest comedians '90s kids grew up with. All of the skits on their shows always drew laughs, and even their show before their own, "All That" was so funny. Round up a friend and grab a button down shirt, wig, and cook's hat and you can recreate one of Kenan and Kel's most famous skits, Good Burger. Oh, and when you're out and about on Halloween, just keep repeating, "welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger."

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
