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!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

2229

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What is the current minimum wage at the federal level?

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

Told through Parks & Recreation GIFs

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
