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!

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
