The Best Pop Culture Halloween Costumes This Year

@leyla5280

2016 has been nothing short of interesting. Full of political turmoil, memes, great movies, Netflix hits, Queen B slaying, Pokemon dominating the summer, and Olympic scandals. Here are my top picks for pop culture Halloween costumes that I think we're going to see a lot of. Do you have your costume yet? If not, maybe this list will help you figure out what you wanna be! You still have plenty of time to go out to the store or scour your house for your costume.

Beyonce "Lemonade"

If you can find a ruffly long yellow dress, a crimper, and a baseball bat, you’re in business.

Snapchat filters

I still haven’t figured out my costume this year, but I’m really leaning towards a snap filter! It would be a lot of fun to do and super simple! Just need to find a onesie to pair with it :)

Emojis

My 2 favorite emojis are heart eyes and the crying laughing face. This is the pumpkin I just carved last night. I love it!

Presidential Candidates

Since we don’t see enough of Clinton and Trump’s faces on TV and the internet, be prepared to see them roaming your city on Halloween.

Ken Bone

The man who captivated a nation during his 15 minutes of internet fame. All you need is a mustache, glasses, and his iconic red sweater for this costume!

Ghostbusters

So many options to choose from with this wonderful cast.

Eleven from "Stranger Things"

Eleven would be a super easy costume! Just need a blonde wig (or not if you're going for her bald look) and some 80’s looking clothes. She’s a BAMF!

Short hair Cersei Lannister from "Game of Thrones"

Right after she blew things up. Don’t forget your glass of wine!

The Shame Nun From "Game of Thrones"

In my opinion, she's single-handedly the most annoying character from this show. It would be a great costume though!

"Formation" Video Beyoncé

Sis, if you can pull this look off... you're going to slay!

Ryan Lochte/Lochtegate 2016

Just dye your hair white blonde and throw on a wind breaker or exercise suit. Maybe throw a medal around your neck. Bam!

Harambe

Because Harambe. RIP friend.

Pokémon

Remember that one game this summer?

"Deadpool"

One of the most popular movies of 2016

Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad

I’ve seen a ton of Suicide Squad cosplays already this year

Happy Halloween! Stay safe out there. I hope you don't run into any CLOWNS!

Adulting

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."
