5 Halloween Costumes That Are The Complete Opposite Of The Overused Slutty Nurse Costume

Labor Day has come and gone which means spooky season is officially on its way. The temperature is changing, the leaves are falling, and the countdown to find the best Halloween costume is officially on. While it might be tempting to go for the ever so classy and not at all overdone sexy nurse or smokin' firefighter costume, we've got to move on. It's 2018. The sexy nurse has overstayed it's welcome in the Halloween costume repertoire. For all of you that are having trouble parting with these costume ideas, here are a few alternatives.

1. Instead of sexy nurse, try being a regular nurse.

Giphy

Listen, nurses work really hard. Too hard for you to be patronizing them by wearing a slutty nurse costume. So track down some scrubs, a stethoscope, and maybe one of those pens that looks like a syringe if you really want to scare some needle-phobes and you're all set to go.

2. Or as another sexy nurse alternative, dress up as a medieval plague doctor.

Giphy

Some general concept of a nurse, but a lot more interesting from a historical standpoint. Bonus points if you carry around a stuffed rat.

3. Instead of a sexy schoolgirl, try being sexy Ben Franklin

Giphy

Give this year's costume a little historical spin by portraying everyone's favorite non-presidential founding father. One thing's for sure, you won't have to worry about anyone wearing the same costume as you. If you'd like a fun little prop, carry a kite with a key tied to it.

4. Instead of dressing up as a sexy cop, dress up like a real cop.

Giphy

Warning: Impersonating a cop is a legitimate crime, but it might be a little bit fun to scare the crap out of people at parties and fooling them into thinking their festivities have been infiltrated by the cops. Secondary warning: You'll also probably get kicked out of the party.

5. Instead of dressing up like a sexy anything, dress up like feminist. 

Giphy

If anyone asks you what you're costume is or why you didn't decide to go as a sexy nurse, explain that many women's costumes are hypersexualized which can demean women. Okay, you don't have to go this far, but don't feel pressured to dress up in a sexy or "slutty" costume if it's not comfortable for you.

So whether you decide to be a slutty nurse or take one of my ideas, make sure to have a fun and safe Halloween season and dress up as whatever you want to be.

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.

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.
