15 Halloween Costumes That Are So Overdone

Halloween was so much simpler when we were younger. Princess costumes, dragon suits, you name it...mom and dad did it all for us. But now Halloweekend is almost amongst us, and we are no longer interested in trick or treating (well hey, it's free candy so maybe). Instead we are interested in emptying our bank accounts on three different costumes for the weekend. But year after year we tend to see the same costumes and let's be real. They're not original and don't cut it.

1. Cat

The most original costume of them all.

2. Bunny

Regina George may have made this costume unforgettable, but if a teenage girl wears this costume she will most surely be forgettable.

3. Mouse

"I'm a mouse, DUH!" Whether it's Minnie Mouse or a grey mouse costume that you buy from party city, it will never be cute. It's completely overdone and the paint will always smear off your face.

4. Tiger

A black dress and some orange paint on your body is very original, let me tell you! I mean it does look cute though.

5. Cheetah

Black spanks, a black tank, and black pumps REALLY adds to your costume. The ears and the tail just top it off!

6. ANY animal for that matter.

We get it; dressing up as an animal is extremely easy, but it's so overdone! There are tons of more options to choose from!

7. Rosie The Riveter

Rosie the Riveter was one of the most influential figures for women during World War II and yes, she does make a great halloween costume. But it's so overdone and easy to do. So please, do NOT do it!

8. Risky Business

This is one of the easiest group costumes to do and one of the most overdone. If you can attend a party with the theme of "Risky Business" then it's probably not a good halloween costume.

9. French Maid

This costume is sold basically anywhere and is super easy to make. Some fishnets, a white shirt, and a black pencil skirt is basically all you need.

10. School Girl

If you can use your High School uniform for a halloween costume then more power to you. But basically 50% of girls on halloween have worn that costume before.

11. Lumberjack

Wearing an oversized flannel with work boots does NOT count as halloween costume.

12. Nerd

Forget your contacts and keep your glasses on. Oh don't forget the booty shorts and the suspenders! That's all you need for this simplistic costume!

13. Corporate Hoes and CEOS

Once again, if you attend a party with the same theme it is not a substantial halloween costume!

14. Ninja Turtle

Gather four of your best friends and dress up as your favorite turtles! This can either be homemade or store bought! But remember you can't buy originality!

15. Angels and Devils

Hit up your best friend and tag team Halloween night! However, don't let your wings knock anyone out in a cramped party!

Happy Halloween!

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
