15 Costumes You're Guaranteed To See At Every Halloween Party

Another year, another round of Halloween parties. As the years go on, some things never change, including more than a few costumes we see at each party we attend every year. Let's see if this list matches up with some people in your memory from last year and this year's parties!

1. Girl in lingerie/animal ears.

Popularized by the 2004 movie "Mean Girls," there is always at least a couple of girls in the party just wearing lingerie and animal ears, insisting they're mice/rabbits/cats.

2. Pop culture reference of the moment.

Whatever is the hot pop culture reference of the moment, whether it's the pizza rat or Caitlyn Jenner, someone out there is attempting to be interesting by dressing up as something everyone is talking about.

3. Thing One and Thing Two.

Who says Dr. Seuss is just for kids? While I'm a bit guilty of this myself (in my defense, I was only 17), girls everywhere are still dressing up as these "Cat in the Hat" troublemakers at parties today. Aren't you a little bit old for that, kids?

3. Guy in t-shirt and jeans.

This guy doesn't like to dress up, but he still enjoys Halloween parties. Every time someone asks him what he is, he exhaustingly tells everyone he didn't dress up because that's not for him. Dude, you could have at least tried.

4. Out of shape superhero.

There are other ways for you to get away with being Spiderman, but I don't think the latex suit is doing you any favors.

5. Gender-bend costume.

I mean, you definitely get an A for effort in terms of execution, but it's been done before. You're not as clever or creative as you may think.

6. Deer.

The makeup for this one is admittedly really cute and pretty easy, but that doesn't make it creative.

7. Food couple costumes.

Peanut butter and jelly, eggs and bacon, mustard and ketchup...the list really goes on forever.

8. Tom Cruise in Risky Business.

You probably didn't even need to buy anything for this costume, so props for a total money-saving idea.

9. Sexy costumes that shouldn't be sexy.

Sexy food should not be a thing. Add that to the list of costumes that come in a "sexy," and absolutely shouldn't.

10. Cat/Catwoman.

Throw on a black tank top, jeans, and some eyeliner on your nose and cheeks and you're good to go. Some girls forego the ears entirely, because who doesn't know that you're a cat, duh?

11. Fairy/princess/fairy princess.

Do you have a tutu, wings, and some glitter? Boom -- you're a fairy! Do you have a crown or tiara, too? You've just made yourself into a fairy princess! Don't worry about the fact that you're a grown adult in a common child's costume, go to the party dressed like that anyways. No one will notice.

12. Where's Waldo?

I found him, he's at every single costume party I've ever been to.

13. Police Officer.

Bonus points if they walk in shouting, "BUSTED!"

14. Skeleton.

We all have bones on the inside of our bodies, and you're not too special for thinking of wearing them on the outside.

15. Something Disney.

Admittedly, that adult in the child-sized Sully sweatshirt is probably me.

How many of these repeat offenders have you seen at the parties you've been to this year?

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Your Friend Group, As Told By Disney Princesses

Each Disney Princess has their own personality, and chances are you've got a friend in your group to match it.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
