As you know, Halloween is coming up.

And now, if you haven't found one already, you're probably searching for fun and easy costume ideas.


Here are 5 easy Harry Potter-related costumes:

1. Basic Hogwarts Student

Because Hogwarts has a uniform, all of the students from Harry to Luna to Draco all wear variations of the same outfit. While you could go all-out in a robe and everything, the simplest version of the costume is just a white shirt, black bottoms, a striped tie of your house colors, and a black sweater or bathrobe. For characters like Harry (scar and glasses) or Hermione (time turner or Crookshanks), feel free to add on accessories!

2. Neville Longbottom Post-Hogwarts Effect

To be honest, Neville is one of the best people at Hogwarts, which was particularly evident after he joined the horcrux-killing team and saved the day, all while dressed well. For this look, you just need a patterned cardigan sweater and some fake blood (or anything similar, e.g. red makeup).

3. A House Elf

Although Dobby was kind of the best, any house elf would be fine to dress up as. All you need is a brown, gray or white sheet, two brown socks to put over your ears, a lone sock to carry around, and you're good.

4. A Potter Puppet Pal

Although not traditional Harry Potter, the Puppet Pals have become famous and beloved among the fandom. All you need is to wear all black, and then make a mask with a paper plate. You can attach it to a headband or string to get it to stay on your head, and then cover it in the basic eyes, nose, mouth, and character traits for whichever one you dress as!

5. Literally Anyone

With Polyjuice Potion, you can look like anyone, so if you really can't find a costume, you can always dress as yourself and carry around a water bottle, saying that you're simply *insert character here* with Polyjuice Potion.

Halloween is the best for Potterheads, so show off your outfits, whoever you're dressed as!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
