10 Frustrations Associated With Halloween Costumes

As we plunge into the last few days of October, the creepily sensational feelings of Halloween have been ever so present in the air like never before. Associated with those feelings, is the pressure to find the perfect Halloween costume. And sometimes not just one costume, sometimes it's even more than that, especially if you're a college student with a busy social life to attend to. The pressure is real.

For me, I have always felt disgruntled in regards to dressing up for Halloween. It's just not my cup of tea. I rather just wear regular clothes and go about my own business. However, it's unfortunately not the case and I always get sucked into dressing up - even if it's something mediocre. The one thing that I can definitely attest to is that I always have a difficult time choosing what I'm going to be. I usually cater towards more minimalistic costumes or costumes that don't require me spending a lot of money. But even then it's still arduously frustrating fabricating the costume and making sure people can acknowledge what I'm supposed to be.

Whether it's just me, I know that the Halloween costume-picking process can be pretty disheartening. Below I've composed ten, hopefully relatable, different frustrations/concerns that I have almost every year when Halloween comes around:

1. When Halloween is in a few days and you have absolutely no idea what you're going to wear yet.

2. When you have an idea, but you don't have the money to properly emulate it.

3. When Halloween stores/Party City don't have the materials you need to complete your costume.

4. When you feel like you look like a complete fool in whatever you're wearing.

5. What if I'm too hot/cold in what I'm wearing?

6. What if no one knows what I'm trying to be?

7. What if I wear the same costume two nights in a row... and people notice?

8. When you want to resort to what you wore last year.

9. When you and your friends fight over the same costume idea.


10. When you spend so much money on your costume, but realize you'll never wear any of these things ever again.

In lieu of all the frustrations Halloween prep provides, Halloween is usually always a memorable night and the costume you choose shouldn't be that big of a deal. No matter what you end up picking, it'll be sure to work out in the long run.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
