6 Pop-Culture Costumes for Your Best Halloween Yet

What a year it's been thus far in 2016. For better or for worse, it's been a year to remember. With that being said, 2016 has given us the truly wonderful gift of endless Halloween costume ideas—what luck! Check out these six festive get-ups that will surely get you on the "Best Costume" list.

1. Stranger Things

Obviously, this Netflix original took off like wild fire this summer, so why not pay tribute to the BRILLIANT show by dressing up like Joyce from Stranger Things?Christmas lights and all.

2. Donald Trump

I mean this one is kind of a no-brainer, but if Republican candidate Donald Trump did not cross your mind as someone to impersonate on Halloween this year (I mean it's quite simple, isn't it?), I think you might want to give this a look. To be honest, all you really need to perfect is the hair.


3. Simone Biles

To all my sporty gals out there, this is for you! Embrace your inner-Olympian this Halloween by dressing up as Summer Olympics all-star, Simone Biles. All you need is a red leotard and fake medal (gold, obvi!). Warning: You may feel prone to prancing around and attempting stunts at your Halloween party--refrain from this!


4. Pokémon Go! Trainer

Thank God that this is a fad. I did not partake in this interesting activity, but nonetheless, it is an important part of Summer 2016 culture. Dress up in your BEST trainer attire and don't forget to create your own Pokéball. Best of all, it's Halloween, so no pressure to to catch 'em all!



5. SnapChat Filters

Calling all basic ladies! This is an easy costume that everyone who uses Snap Chat will recognize. Which is practically EVERY millennial on the planet, right? Pick your favorite filter, whether it's puppy dog or throwing up a rainbow. Perhaps, some adorable dog ears and a make-shift puppy tongue attached to a popsicle stick. #NoFilter


6. "Becky With the Good Hair"

This one could be a bit of a stretch, but I have no doubt that anyone who pays even the smallest bit of attention to pop culture would understand it. Go get your hair all dolled up at a blow-out bar and then rock some jeans, and a simple t-shirt with a name tag that says "Becky." Maybe hold a hair brush as well.

There you have it, kiddos. Some great Halloween costume ideas from none other than perhaps the most bizarre year in a millennial's life. Have fun, be safe and eat an absurd amount of candy!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
