Other than little kids, the demographic that gets the most excited by Halloween is definitely college students! Halloween in college is usually a 3 or 4-day event full of theme parties, spooky Instagram posts and obviously multiple costume changes!

Halloween is such a popular holiday for college kids because it allows us the chance to leave behind the real-life stress of jobs, exams, and deadlines for a night and return to the carefree days where our only concerns were how many candy bars we could stuff in our pillowcases!

So this Halloween, grab your boo or your BFF and re-live the music, movies, and celebrity couplings of your childhood by dressing up as any of these instantly recognizable 90s pairs!

1. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake

While sadly Britney and Justin didn't debut this iconic matching denim-tuxedo getup until 2001, the prince and princess of pop were the celeb couple every 90s teenager was obsessed with!

2. Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain

If your music taste was much more Nirvana than *NSYNC in 1992, than you may be interested in going out as one of the most volatile, well-known couples from the era of grunge.

3. Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp

Even though Johnny eventually ended up covering up his infamous tattoo, those of us who remember this A-list 90s pair are still holding out hope for a reunion: "Winona Forever!"

4. Buffy and Angel ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer")

Way before "Twilight," Buffy and Angel were the original star-crossed, brooding vampire/human love story. To make this costume work all you need is a pair of fangs, a wooden stake, and lots and lots of leather.

5. Mulder and Scully ("The X-Files")

Hunt down some aliens this Halloween by dressing as our favorite pair of quippy FBI investigators.

6. Rose and Jack ("Titanic")

Rose may not have kept her promise, but we'll never let go of their tragic love story.

7. Marla Singer and Tyler Durden ("Fight Club")

Although by now we're all familiar with the "first rule of Fight Club," pay tribute to the 90s anti-establishment attitude by rocking a slip dress and red leather jacket à la Tyler and Marla.

8. Harley Quinn and The Joker ("Batman: the Animated Series")

Long before Margot Robbie's short-shorts and blue and red pigtails became the go-to Halloween look for every college girl, Harley Quinn and the Joker were already making a name for themselves as the Clown Couple of Crime on the classic 90s cartoon "Batman: The Animated Series."

9. Cher and Dionne ("Clueless")

With their plaid skirts, giant cellphones and bomb headwear, Cher and Dionne were the most fashionable besties in all of Beverley Hills High. Is it any wonder they became friends because, to quote Cher: "We both know what it's like for people to be jealous of us."

10. Daria and Jane ("Daria")

While Daria and Jane probably would have thought they were "too cool" to dress up for Halloween, it doesn't mean you have to be!

11. Wayne and Garth ("Wayne's World")

Get your party on this Halloween and live in the now by head-banging alongside your best bud as the SNL classic duo: Wayne and Garth from "Wayne's World."

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
