Halloween might be nearly three months away, but with all the craziness that is the first two months of the school year, it's hard to find time to plan for it. Here are some ideas you can steal from me if you need some inspo!

1. The cast of 'Friends'

Basic, but this is still one of my favorite group costume ideas. Everyone can annoy the rest of the group by saying the best one-liners all day long.

2. Sexy Disney princesses, or Disney princesses gone 'bad'

I love this idea for a group of gal pals because there's so much you can do with it! If you want to make the princesses criminals, you can do mug shots and messy makeup.

3. Breakfast

Think about it... bacon dress and a sunny-side up hat? Sold!

4. Mario Kart

Dress up as the characters from Mario, and then have a Mario Kart tournament at someone's house later.

5. Andy's toy box

There's a character for everyone. Personally, I'd want to be one of the green aliens. I'd say "ooohhhhh" all night long.

6. High school selves

Fast forward five years in time and dress up as your high school self. You'll have fun getting to know your college friends as they were before you met them.

7. Coffee shop bonanza

Pick your favorite coffee shop, whether it's Starbucks, Caribou, or Dunkin Donuts, and come up with a way to embody it. For example, one person could wear a donut inner tube and someone else could be carrying a plastic ball trying to dunk them!

8. Cheetah girls

You could go literal with this and just wear cheetah print, or you could dust off your old Juicy hoodie from middle school and throw it on!

9. Emojis

Find a way for everyone in your group to embody a different emoji. For example, the "embarrassed emoji" could pile the blush on their cheeks, and the crying emoji could have blue paint exaggerated down their face all day.

10. Suicide Squad

I really want to be Harley Quinn, so I included this one for your group!

11. Hugs and kisses

Put on silver slip dresses and tie the white ties around your neck as necklaces to make yourself into the group of quintessential Hershey kisses. Ask people if they want hugs or kisses!!

12. Donna and the Dynamos

Wear bell bottoms and pretend you're the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen.

13. DuckTales


Super simple — you just have to match your headpiece to your shirt and add some yellow kicks!

14. Pink Sisters

Dress up in all pink and be the pink sisters from "Monster's University!" Perfect costume for a group of sorority sisters.

15. Riley's emotions


Being Disgust would be SO fun! Think about it.

16. Magic markers

We're not crayons, we're magic markers!!! You could have a lot of fun with this one.

17. The fab four on "The Office"

A group of two girls and two guys would be perfect to do Angela, Pam, Jim, and Dwight!

18. Power Puff Girls

Perfect for any trio of feminists out there.

19. "Guardians of the Galaxy"

This would be amazing. Tell me you wouldn't want to see one of your friends be Groot??

20. The LGBTQ flag

Have each of a group of five friends wear a different color of the flag, and write a different letter of "LGBTQ" on each person's shirt!!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
