15 Painfully Basic Halloween Costumes You're Sure To See This Year

My girl friends in high school and now in college are always trying to figure out what their Halloween costume will be for this candy- and alcohol-filled holiday. With it now being my second year of college, I have seen tons of costumes. From the easiest to the most outrageous, I once saw a woman who painted an entire suit on her body. Yes just on her skin! Then you see the lazy girls just walking around in a big t-shirt, which everyone is wishing they were her, let's be real. So I was hoping this would help you out this year. With Halloween coming up, maybe this will give you an idea of what to wear for Halloween, but if you wear one of these, I promise some girl out there will be dressed similarly to you. Maybe these costumes will give you an idea of what not to dress up as. These costumes are by far the most common among women. I am almost sure you will agree with me.

1. Cat

Let's be real, who hasn't dressed up as a cat for Halloween?

2. Devil

You don't have to be naughty, but you better be ready to be hot in hell.

3. Angel

I was definitely an angel once when I was little.

4. Box Wine (Franzia)

As a college girl, this is absolutely relatable and brings back horrid memories. Sorry Mom!

5. Dancing Twins Emoji

With myself being a twin, I would never dress up as a twin with someone else. If you have a BFF or a look-alike, this is your costume!

6. Mouse

Mouses aren't actually this clean or cute in real life.

7. Frat Boy

Us girls make frat boys look ugly. Girls do it better.

8. Schoolgirl

Every girl who dresses up like a schoolgirl secretly wanted to star in the Britney Spears music video.

9. Thing 1 & Thing 2

More often known as "Drunk 1 & Drunk 2," on Halloween these girls are ready to rage.

10. Santa Baby ("Mean Girls")

What girl doesn't want to be a part of "Mean Girls"? I know I do.

11. Bunny

If Reese Witherspoon was allowed to wear it, so am I.

12. Starbucks Coffee

Since we drink it so much, we might as well be it.

13. Red Solo Cup

This speaks for itself.

14. Tacky Tourist

Us girls make "tacky" look really good.

15. A Referee

You would want this girl to ref your intramural game, wouldn't ya?

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
