The 11 Stages Of Picking Your Halloween Costume, In GIFs

Whenever Halloween comes around, you are bound to get excited no matter your age. Sure, your excitement may shift from trick-or-treating, to dressing up as anything you want, to crazy Halloween parties. However, finding your costume may be the most important. Every Halloween season seems to deliver the same process and here's how it usually goes.

1. You realize it's October 1, which mean it's time to start brainstorming ideas.

2. After a couple of days of brainstorming, you realize you're down to two or three awesome options and you have absolutely no idea which to pick.

3. You finally decide that you need some help deciding which costume is best, but should you share your ideas with your friends?

4. Somehow, some way you come to your decision and you're psyched.

5. Since you are, after all, a broke college student, you search and search DIYs for this brilliant costume idea, because who actually has $60+ to spend on a costume they'll only wear once?

6. Finally, you have a list of everything you need for your DIY costume and attempt to go thrifting and to the mall.

7. While at the store, you realize...

8. You end up going in a completely different direction with your costume seeing as how your original idea isn't panning out too well.

9. You think to yourself, "It's Halloween, right? Who cares how I look?" and begin to truly feel yourself because you think your costume is "on point."

10. You show up to the Halloween party and it turns out a little something like this...

11. OK, maybe not, but picking out a Halloween costume is a real struggle, so start sooner rather than later.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
