7 Throwback Costume Ideas for the Nostalgic

deviantart

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.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.
