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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
