Halloween is right around the corner! Can’t decide what to dress up as? Throw it way back to your childhood and re-wear one of these classic costumes.

(You might want to make it hotter the second time around, though).

(Or don’t. You do you).

1. Cat.

It’s cute on kids; it’s cute on adults. It’s the classic girl’s costume. Ladies, you pretty much have to wear it at least once in your life, and if you wore it as a kid, you can always do it again.

2. Superhero.

Superheroes have been relevant for decades. Be Spider-Man like you were as a kid, or try out Deadpool, Captain America, or Iron Man. And this world can never have too many Wonder Women.

3. Princess.

Don’t pretend that you’re over the Disney Princesses just because you’re an adult now. Come on, put on the tiara and dress. Don’t be lame.

4. Police Officer.

A police officer is the classic “make the profession sexy” costume. But also little kid police officers are adorable, so it goes both ways.


5. Mario & Luigi.

Videogame classics. Grab a friend and revive the Mario Brothers costume.

6. Pumpkin.

There’s nothing cuter than a baby in a pumpkin costume. And at this time of year, there’s not a more memorable “How I Met Your Mother” moment than this one:

7. Witch.

Classic Halloween spookiness. Bring back the hat and the broom and the striped tights and the black dress. It’s easy, and it’s a classic.

8. Pirate.

Go generic or do your best Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, or Elizabeth Swan. You can’t go wrong.

9. Angel/Devil.

Make it hot or make it modest. Either way, you should get a friend and make it a partner costume.

10. The Powerpuff Girls.

Sugar, spice, and everything nice! I was Bubbles for half of my childhood, and I would do it again now.

11. Dorothy Gale.

Sure, Dorothy was supposed to be a kid, but The Wizard of Oz is timeless. A classic costume.

12. Lumberjack.

Admittedly I don’t know why lumberjacks are one of the common Halloween costume professions for kids or adults. But hey, at least as an adult your beard can be real this time, and denim and flannel never go out of style for guys and girls alike.

13. Nurse/Doctor.

Can you get through nursing/medical school? Maybe. Can you dress up as nurse or doctor for Halloween? Sure can! Besides, being smart is hot, right? So bring back the scrubs, stethoscope, and white jacket. *pretends that adult women’s nurse costumes actually include scrubs, because yikes at what they normally include*

14. Firefighter.

It’s a costume that looks cute on kids and cuter on adults. Gender equality is real because we can all be good-looking firefighters.

15. Hippie.

On a time crunch? Throw on a tie-dye, funky glasses, and anything with a peace sign.

16. Rag Doll.

Were you Raggedy Ann for Halloween as a kid? Be inspired and be a gothic rag doll this year.

17. Tiger.

Kids dressed up as ferocious cats are way too cute. Lucky for you, clothing stores are now selling tons of animal onesies.

18. Werewolf.

Werewolves are classic Halloween monsters. Also I’m one of those people that’s pretending the Twilight books/movies never went out of style, so maybe you could be Jacob Black. You’re welcome for the good idea.

19. Bumblebee.

Now that you’re an adult, you can bring back this costume and get a buzz while doing it. (If you’re into that).

20. Vampire.

This is the ultimate classic Halloween costume. Don your cape and fangs, and rock it!

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
