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!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
