The 15 Most Popular Halloween Costumes This Year

1. Goth

This is one of the easiest costumes for any girl, as they can just purchase black lipstick and a fake nose ring for the evening. By replacing the average going out clothes with all-black attire, anyone is instantly transformed into a hot goth.


2. Sexy skeleton

This was an unusually popular costume this year and it seemed like there were more skeletons than ever. Putting on a skeleton outfit and adding some type of impressive bone-like makeup makes for a pretty good costume.


3. Vampire

As a classic girl go-to, there was (of course) a plethora of vampires this year. Any girl loves wearing some kind of sexy outfit, complete with vampire fangs and fake blood


4. Sandy and Danny

As one of the most popular couple outfits of all time, naturally, Sandy's and Danny's did not disappoint this Halloween. Any couple looking to wear all black and hoping to embrace their inner 80's--this costume is for you.


5. Cave people

Something about being ancient characters for Halloween is weirdly fun, and also very popular among all girls. This outfit is a crowd favorite and seems popular every single year.


6. "Sexy and bloody"

It seemed like this year more than ever, girls would dress up as anything that was in someway "bloody". Bloody doll, bloody zombie, bloody cheerleader, bloody anything girl... the list goes on and on.


7. Nerds

Any type of plaid skirt, colored shirt, high socks and "taped glasses" somehow makes any girl "nerdy" for the night. Although most of the smart people I've ever seen actually dress quite, well... normal, this costume still makes a return every year.


8. Cat woman (or anything encompassing cats)

Halle Berry Catwoman, Anne Hathoway Catwoman, sexy girl with cat ears... these costumes are stereotypically very "hot", and so every year they are brought back among girls.

9. Angels and devils

In true Halloween spirit, girls love to dress up like an angel or devil (sometimes to match their best friend personalities, sometimes in irony). This costume is common every year because it's easy, and fun to do it a pair.


10. Miley Cyrus

Although this costume has risen to popularity over the last few years, it proves to be well-loved among all girls. Sporting two buns on top of your head and some kind of ridiculous miley-inspired outfit seems to be a favorite with the female crowd.


11. Serena and Blaire

Any best friend (preferably blonde and brunette) duo LOVES to embrace their inner S and B. And, the costumes never fail to disappoint... somewhere on the pictures posted, there WILL be "xoxo, Gossip Girl."


12. Convicts

In light of the popular new Netflix series "Orange is the New Black", girls used Halloween as an opportunity to dress up as their favorite characters from the show. Or, those who weren't fans of the show just seemed to dress up in some kind of convict (typically orange, khaki or stripped) outfit.


13. Homeless people

Despite some of the backlash this costume has recently stirred up, there were still just as many "Will work for booze" (or some kind of cardboard message) costumes this year.


14. Deer

For guys and girls alike, this costume seemed to be more popular than ever this year. Following the idea of "Hunt or be hunted", it is a commendable costume because the makeup seems so challenging.



15. Gangsters (or thugs)

Girls love any opportunity to dress "edgier" than their average attire, and no better way to do that than to be a thug--complete with cornrows, chains, and fake sleeves. "No Ragrets".

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
