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?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

7. Would Lightning McQueen buy car insurance or life insurance?

8. Who put the alphabet in alphabetical order?

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?
