Choosing a Halloween Costume as an Adult is a Task

Don't deny it.

Choosing a Halloween Costume as an Adult is a Task
All Home Party

You have to admit as a child, you loooooved the idea of Halloween. You got to be anything you wanted to be, and you got free candy out of it. It was like every kid's dream coming to life. And one of the hardest things was choosing a costume. An angel? A cheerleader? Oooooh, maybe a Disney princess.

Maybe you still love Halloween to this day. Maybe you still love dressing up for a nice adult Halloween party. Because let's face it, trick or treating after high school is out of the question. (I hope)

But you can't argue that the hardest part about Halloween is choosing a costume. And you can't argue that it only gets harder as you get older.

As a 5 year old, you could be a witch or Snow White and call it a day because you're 5 and adorable.

Then you hit 10 years old and you're not sure if you're too old to be Dorothy, but mom says you're not old enough to be a sexy devil. Darn.

Wait til you're 18 or older. The hardest decision is whether to be cute, sexy, or dead. Yes dead. Because some people love blood and gore on Halloween.

So how do you decide? You don't. At least not until the last minute. Your costume ideas will change at 40 times and there's no way you're getting around it. Unless you're one of those people who knows what they want in life. Highly unlikely.

All in all, it's a tough decision deciding what to be for Halloween. But don't let the adult act fool you. You'll think you're over choosing costumes because you've grown up until you're invited to a Halloween party, and that's right, it's mandatory to dress up.

But what's your final decision? Cute, sexy, or dead? Stay tuned people, stay tuned.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
