Top 15 Halloween Costumes That You Saw This Halloweekend

We are all guilty of lacking creativity when it comes to dressing up for Halloween. At one point or another, many of us have likely followed the generic costumes that were done by girls a countless amount of times. Whether we get our ideas from a costume that we saw advertised, a costume that we saw someone wearing at our college last year or a costume from a movie, most of the time the outfit we choose is overdone. Every girl has either dressed in at least one of these costumes this 'Halloweekend' or has seen what feels like over 100 other girls dressed up as one of them. I can guarantee that the costumes you saw this weekend were probably almost identical to the ones below. Here are the top 15 Halloween costumes that you saw this Halloweekend.

1. Cat

All black clothes, drawn on nose and whiskers with eyeliner, and ears. There is no way that you haven't seen this costume before.

2. Bunny

Definitely not a cute, little bunny rabbit. More like a bunny that forgot its clothes at home.

3. Police officer

This person probably over did it with handcuffing people.

4. Risky Business

Not so risky when everyone has worn this costume before.

5. Angel/devil

I'm sure that their Instagram caption probably read: "We dressed up as each other."

6. Mermaid

Come on, we all know you just wanted an excuse to wear that new bra you just bought.

7. Nerd

When is the last time that you saw a nerd wear a bandeau and spandex to class?

8. Nurse

I thought nurses wore scrubs, not dresses?

9. Superhero

Have you even seen the movie that the superhero you are dressing up as is in?

10. Native American

I don't remember Native Americans looking like this.

11. Victoria Secret Angel

Again, you wanted an excuse to wear that new bra you just bought, right?

12. Alien

If you didn't see at least 10 of these at a party, you live under a rock.

13. Minion

You do know that this is a children's movie, right?

14. Lifeguard

"Bae watch" ... incredibly original.

15. Sports player

The only reason that you wanted this costume was so that you could ask that cute boy down the hall for his sports jersey.

---

The above list is all in good fun. I have dressed up for Halloween in at least half of these costumes for my Halloween days. Just embrace being basic.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
