"Gotta Blast!"

Characters from Bob’s Burgers, Rick and Morty, Family Guy, etc. get a lot of recognition from their fans on Halloween. But, where’s the love for the throwback characters? I’m talking about Jimmy Neutron, Totally Spies and other cartoons a lot of us miss. If you love old cartoons and don’t have any costume ideas yet, this is the list for you.



1. Kids from Codename: Kids next door

Channel your inner ten year old by becoming a young agent who hates adults.If your one of those people with a huge group of friends, this is a good group costume. #squadgoals.

2. Jimmy Neutron & friends

The hair and the huge head might be a challenge, but it should be fun to pretend to be a genius for a day. If brain blasts aren’t your thing, there is always Carl and Sheen. For those couples out there, Cindy and Jimmy or even Sheen and Libby if you ship them would be a good fit. I wouldn’t recommend shipping Carl and Judy Neutron though.


3. Samurai Jack


Growing up, Samurai Jack was one of the coolest characters for me. He was a quiet badass who persevered through a lot of horrible situations. For those who don’t like socializing, you can use this character as an excuse to not speak for a whole day.


4. Kim Possible


“Call me, beep me if you wanna reach me.” She came with a catchy theme song and she was a good role model. The villains of this show were really cool too, so if you want to be evil for Halloween Shego is always an option.


5. Characters from Hey Arnold

Although this was a kid show, it had a lot of deep messages that you don’t pick up on until you’re an adult. Messages may be potential child hood ruiners for some, but knowledge is power, right? As far as costumes go, Arnold and Helga would be the most popular choice, but don’t forget about Gerald or the stoop kid.


6. Ed, Edd, and Eddy



What a beautiful coincidence that three boys with similar names live in the same cul de sac. If you can find three of your friends willing to play them, it means you have the greatest friends in the world. The only thing left to decide would be who plays the dumb one, the smart one, and lastly the leader.


7. Kids from Recess


This crew is not only tough, but they symbolize the struggles of growing up and finding your place in the world. These characters deserve a DIY video and some merchandise.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
