8 Ironic Halloween Costumes That Won't Hurt Your Wallet Or Your Pride

With Halloween just around the corner, many are beginning their intense search for the perfect Halloween costume. You’re in luck! Here are some fun yet deadpan costume ideas that will have everyone talking.*

*No guarantees on what everyone will be saying, but rest assured they will talking about you.

1. The Sexy Ghost

A twist on an old favorite. Throw on the white sheet, draw a ghost face on it, and slip some sexy lingerie over it. Bam! You’re now the life of the party. This costume is unisex friendly and 98 percent vegan.

2. The Three-Hole Sheet of Paper

This costume is so easy to put together you’re probably already wearing ¾ of it right now. First, put on a white shirt. Then cut out three circles from black construction paper, and tape them an even space apart from each other in a vertical line on your left side.

(Putting the circles on the left side is critical for this costume to be factually accurate.)

3. GT Wi-Fi

A local crowd pleaser. All this costume requires is a white shirt with the words “Unable to join the network” written in sharpie on the front. That’s it. Be prepared for some intense halfhearted chuckles.

4. Identity Thief

This one requires a small amount of effort. If you don’t happen to have a pack of name tags in your possession, you will have to buy them and then think of as many average American names as possible to write on them. Once you’ve got all your name tags filled out, simply stick them all over yourself and Voila! Mediocrity at its finest.

5. Life

This is a fun costume to put your own unique spin on!

Carry around a bag of lemons and make sure you have a shirt or other article of clothing that says “Life” on it. The rest is up to you. How philosophical.

6. Facebook

As seen on TV! This costume made an appearance on "The Office", with Jim Halpert at the annual costume party—so you know it’s a goodie. Write the word "book" on your face. So millennial. So cutting edge.

7. The Breadwinner

After purchasing a plastic medal and a loaf of bread, this costume should put you in the hole about $4.32 exactly if you do it right. Not to mention your costume doubles as a snack. What more could you ask for?

8. The Iron Chef

This punny costume requires a plain apron with the Atomic Symbol for Iron (it’s Fe, as I’m sure you are all aware). You can even bring a spatula with you for extra kicks. That’s up to you to decide if it’s a cooking utensil kind of party.

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.

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.
