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!

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
