Nine Costumes Only Redheads Can Pull Off

'Tis the season for giant bowls of candy, creepy decorations and clever costumes. Yet while everyone is looking for the perfect outfit to wear, us redheads have a special advantage, the color of our hair. But instead of taking the easy way out (come on, ladies, Ariel has been so overdone), I have come up with some different options for those who sport the nickname "ginger" and have been told they do not have a soul.

1. Kim Possible

Since it's always a good idea to purchase a pair of green cargo pants and odds are you can easily find a black crop top and gloves, why not rock this killer girl power look?

2. Wilma Flintstone

This one is easy. Start with a large, white t-shirt. Then cut off one arm and snip zig-zags into the bottom. Then find a thin belt and a chunky necklace. This costume receives bonus points too because your hair gets to be to in a topknot (which we all know is ideal for sweaty college party situations).

3. Donna from That 70's Show

Lucky for us, wide-legged jeans are starting to make a comeback! Now you can justify wearing them by throwing on an old flannel and a sweet leather vest (because let's face it, we have all wanted to be as cool and badass as Donna at one point or another).

4. Jessica Rabbit

Remember that dress from Tobi you ordered with the plunging neckline? The one you swore you would have an occasion to wear it, but never did? Break it out. find some gloves and a pair of bunny ears and now you're set apart from all the basic bunnies at the party!

5. Eliza Thornberry

Admit it, "The Wild Thornberrys"held a special place in your childhood, and we have the advantage of playing a realistic Eliza. Get a large, yellow T-shirt and some red paint to recreate her outfit and then sport some pigtail braids (bonus points if you have glasses or braces).

6. Rebecca Bloomwood from "Confessions of a Shopaholic"

This movie is a classic for the girly redheads who want to make a fashion statement on Halloween. Find a cute dress, insert loose curls, and carry around as many shopping bags as you can find.

7. Jessie from "Toy Story 2"

This one was a personal favorite from my childhood. Very similar to the generic cowgirl costume, we have the special title of Jessie simply due to our hair color in pigtail braids.

8. Daphne

If your closet is full of purple, then this is the costume for you. Find a cute purple dress, tie a bit of purple ribbon into your hair, and add the totally classic green scarf. Be sure to also embody her sassy, know-it-all attitude that goes along with being a redhead.

9. Olive from "Easy A"

Everyone secretly wishes they were Emma Stone, but redheads are one step closer to that wish. Personify this classic character in an all black outfit and cut out a red "A" on your chest. Throw on a pair of shades and be the baddest girl at whatever party you step into.

And there you have it, perfect costumes for those of us that have a harder time blending into a crowd every other day of the year. It's our time to stand out and shine and put what your mama gave you to good use.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
