6 Unique Halloween Costumes Anyone Can Try

"HAPPY HALLOWEEN.....!" someone screams as they walk out their last class on Friday.

"Halloween is Monday," some stranger says as they stumble to the long Qdoba line.

Yes, you heard it right. Halloween 2016 falls on a Monday, which basically means death (pun intended). But that can't stop you and your squad from going out and celebrating the spookiest holiday of the year. That's what #Halloweekend is for! Halloweekend is for college students who like to celebrate this holiday Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. WHOA. You were just hit with a ton of bricks. Three days?!? That means...THREE COSTUMES?!? Where am I going to get the creativity and money to have three costumes?

Don't fret, young child. I am here, with experience in struggling to find a costume the day before Halloween. You don't want to be basic. You have come to the right place.

1. Rachel, from "Friends"

I recently saw this on Instagram a few days ago. I thought this was very creative, something I've never seen before. And it's very simple, even I could do it! All you have to do is get an apron, a white crop top, a black skirt and black flat-top wedges. Then, just print out a picture of the "Central Perk" sign and paste it onto your apron. And boom- you are a hip 90s waitress from Friends.



2. VS Pink Angel



Showing off your ~scandalous~ side, this one is actually easy to grab and go before your weekend festivities begin. All you need is a pair of wings, which you can easily pick up from the Halloween store, a satin robe, undergarments, and if you want to go the extra mile, and a halo. You could do it or you could get your entire squad to do it. Either way, you will look fierce and ready to hit the town (or bed).

3. Cinderella


I don't mean the cheesy Disney princess so many college girls have repeated. No, I'm talking about the repeat of "A Cinderella Story" when she disobeyed her stepmother's orders and went to the Homecoming dance. Don't remember? She was wearing a big white ball gown (like the Disney movie). Instead of you wearing a big white ball gown to a frat party, get a white tutu, a white crop top, and strappy sandals. Don't forget that mask- maybe you could meet your Prince Fraternity Man.

4. One-night-stand/walk-of-shame


No, I don't mean go out and get a boy and just call yourselves a one-night-stand. I mean get a real box, and make yourself a nightstand. Get it? You'll get a lot of laughs and hey, at least you have somewhere to put your phone and keys.

5. A basic frat boy.


This might have been done quite a few times, but let's get on with that. So apparently it's been acceptable for a ~man~ to dress up as a "basic white girl" and showcase it all over social media, making it viral. I, a self-proclaimed white girl, don't take offense to this but find it a little comedic that no one ever pokes fun at being a "basic frat boy." They just call them "Fratty" or "douch-y." Well ladies, let's get into formation and shove it right back. Go ahead and dress up as the "basic frat boy." That is, take your last hookup's sweatshirt (with his letters on it) and wear it, with khakis, and boat shoes. Add some croakies (with the sunglasses attached) and grab that beer coozie. You'll fit right in with the fraternity party you're going too later. There, once you're at the party, approach any boy and ask "who do you know here?" You'll get a lot of kicks and giggles. That is, until you get kicked out for impersonating a brother.

6. A bed.


Let's face it, my bed is my favorite part of my day. I get to come home, lie down, and sleep in the coziest place of my apartment. Why not stop at my apartment, though? Grab a sleeping bag, a pillow, make sure you can tie it around so it sticks up when you walk, and there you go. You have a perfectly acceptable sleeping place when you want to pass out at that party. Just be careful about inviting any strays into your happy place. You never know what weirdos are out there.

Honorable mention: Taylor and Kanye


I saw this recently and had to put this in the list of unique costumes. This past summer, and ever since 2009, there has been an ongoing feud between Taylor and Kanye.

Take any of my ideas, or not. The choice is yours.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
