8 Basic Costume Ideas
SHuSHI168

Tis’ the season to be basic. When in college it seems that Halloween actually lasts an entire week, otherwise known as Halloweek. This means you need an outfit for every Halloween party you attend and you’ll be sure not to wear the same thing twice. Originality is hard but being basic is fun and easy! See below to find your potential Halloween costume choice.

The Cat/Mouse/Deer Costume

This costume is great if you’re a little short on cash but you can get your hands on a pair of cute ears and have extra eye liner laying around. Super cute, Super basic but you can’t go wrong with this look. Paired with all black (cat), all grey (mouse) or brown (deer) this is a great last minute costume.

The Vampire Costume

Want to make people question if you're actually bleeding or if its fake? Well all you need to fulfill your dream is all black or white clothes (add a red corset for some flare), fake teeth, red lipstick and fake blood. Pop in the teeth have some blood run down like you’ve just bit into some poor person’s neck and you’re looking scandalous and ready to go! To freak people out even more pour it all over you. Basic = Beautiful.

Harley Quinn

You’ve seen Suicide Squad and you have a huge crush on Margot Robbie. Well she did put the Bae in Baesic this year so this pricey costume is worth it. Hit up your nearest costume store and buy the outfit or check out pinterest for some DIY ideas. Now all you need is pink/blue eye shadow, red lipstick and temporary spray in color (pink/blue). Tada you’re hot and ready to go. Add a baseball bat for a nice touch but beware police are not so fond of this accessory.

*Blank* out of Harambe

I’m shocked that is now a basic costume choice but Harambae did go out with a bang (too soon?). Go out in style with a white shirt with your chest area cut out (obviously wear a bra) and for Harambe written in sharpie below... get it? Quick, easy and makes people laugh.

Naughty School Girl

Have a pair of suspenders and cheap glasses? If the answer is no Walmart/Target does. So strap up your freshly bought suspenders with a plaid skirt and white button down and you’re almost a basic school girl. All you need to do is pop out the lens in the glasses (unless you need them) and you’re ready to go out all nerdy and flirty!

Sexy Cop

You can’t go wrong with the cop outfit. Own black or blue? Throw it on and head to your nearest costume store to buy a cop hat, reflective sunglasses, badge and handcuffs and congratulations officer you’re ready to go patrol the party. (Side note: Wouldn’t recommend a fake gun.)

Out of This World (Alien)

Basically, all you need is glitter and two hairties. Throw the front of your hair into two little buns like Miley Cyrus likes to do and rub a little glitter on your face and boom you’re out of this world girl. Tip: Put on a cute “trippy” shirt you have for an extra touch of Outer Space Vibes

Risky Business

Black shades, Pearls, White high socks, Large men’s size white button down, and apparently shorts are optional now but please for the love of all that is Halloween wear shorts. *Click* “Old Time Rock and Roll blares on radio” as you slide into the party basic and ready to dance. Never gets old.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
