6 Basic Costumes When You're Tired Of Being a Cat

If you're someone who loves Halloweeked so much (like us Penn Staters) you'll have two. In case you're one of these extraordinary people, and if you used up all you're great costume ideas last weekend, have no fear. If you want to continue being something basic but just anything other than a cat (again) I feel you. I’m equally lazy and unimaginative, but if you don’t feel like being ridiculed for being another cat in the crowd, here’s a few other ideas broken up by category. (also Pinterest the sh*t out of any of these ideas, I’m sure there are hundreds on someone’s board. Just don’t downward spiral the way we do when we get sucked into Pinterest crafting ideas).

1. Blackmail

Okay so this one doesn’t get a category because seriously what is it besides funny and accurate? You do enough of this (you know you do, even if it’s only a little thing) so wear an LBD or a black t-shirt depending on how much you want to suck in all night and put a square with an address on you somewhere. Genius.

2. Non feline animals:

Don’t worry, your basic-ness and hotness will shine through to these animals even if you don’t have whiskers drawn on your nose. Bunnies are cute, and classic. I’ve seen girls be deer (why) but somehow it looks really cool. A mermaid counts as an animal (I guess?) and you can literally do so much with different outfits/ makeup to look b-e-a-u-tiful. Cat-dog is technically an animal, so I’ll put it here. Grab your bff and put on matching dresses or skirts, it’ll be cute plus every 90’s kid will get it. Bee outfits can be cute too. Or be a mouse, duh.

3. School stereotypes

Cliche, I know. But aren’t all costume at this point? School girl and nerd can be close, but school girl doesn’t need the glasses so much. Also, nerd can be funnier and schoolgirl is, well, not. If you can figure out how to make a band geek cute, lmk.

4. Athletes

So many options. You can wear the jersey of your favorite team in literally any sport and look good. Chucks or stilettos, high socks and the jersey, maybe black under your eyes. Depending on your hair you can do double french braids (apparently guys like them, idk). Being a boxer is fun because you can wear the comfiest sh*t ever; black sports bra, black workout leggings and some gloves you can hang over your shoulder. A robe if you want and done. Tennis would be cute with the skirts.

5. Careers

Also a lot of room to play. It’s funny that the more typically masculine jobs look the best/ most bad ass. Cops, firefighters, army chicks: easy costumes that look best when you just buy it from party fair or wherever. You could be a Hooters girl, that might be funny and I bet you’ll make it into people’s (read: guys’) snapchat stories. You could be a goddess (of course it’s a life career) and look amazing, a gypsy (is that a lifestyle or job?) and look pretty cool. Also those pants are super comfy, you know the swishy ones I’m talking about. Plus, head jewelry always looks bomb. Hippie is another that might be a lifestyle, not career, but either way it’s a classic for a reason. Nurse is a surefire hottie, and white trash can be hilarious.

6. BFF goals

Me and my little are doing Serena and Blair (duh) but while that’s one of the easiest duos to do, it’s so not the only one. You can be funny if you’re the other type of girl (the one that doesn’t leave her whole body out there) by being like peanut butter and jelly or Starbucks and Dunkin (white dresses with a cutout of the logos). You can do the angel/devil classic or Netflix and Chill.


If you’re super into makeup and feel like spending 3 hours on your face, sugar skulls are basic and all but look cool. And if you can’t figure out an outfit from all of these, literally stay home.

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.
