10 Basic Costumes To Avoid This Halloween

Halloween is all about being creative and showing off your best self. Yes, it is easy to stick with the same old costumes, usually consisting of some sort of animal ears, a tail, booty shorts, and fishnets. However, there are so many other unique costumes you can come up with that can help you become noticed and have a more memorable Halloween. Here are some of the costumes you should avoid this year if you really want to stand out from all the other basic girls.

1. Devil and angel

Yes, it's cute especially if you want to do something with your best friend, but it's so outdated and you can do so much better than wearing a tight red or white dressed paired with devil horns or a halo.

2. Mickey and Minnie

As much as I love Disney, I am SO sick of seeing Mickey and Minnie costumes. There are many other Disney characters to choose from.

3. Cat

Basically, a cat is known as the typical white girl Halloween costume. Just avoid it.

4. Disney Princesses

Again, it was cute at first, and I love Disney, but it's just become way too common and lost its uniqueness.

5. Marvel Superheroes

As if you didn't see enough elementary school aged boys dressing up as superheroes, now you can't stop seeing college girls dressed up as them.

6. Nerd

No, you don't actually look like a nerd- somehow you look slutty in booty shorts, thigh high socks and suspenders.

7. Bunny

A.K.A, playboy bunny.

8. Minions

It was a really cute idea the first year the movie came out, but now I'm sick of seeing it.

9. Thing 1 and Thing 2

Yes, it's easy to throw on a Thing 1 or Thing 2 tee shirt and red booty shorts, but there are so many better ideas.

10. Victoria's Secret Angels

So your costume is a lacy bra and a robe? Just leave that for when you go to sleep.

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.
