10 Classic Couples Costumes Everyone Must Try

What's more fun than a Halloween costume? Double the Halloween costumes! For all the couples that are into dressing up for Halloween, there are loads of couples costumes out there. Best of all, most can be store bought or created easily. I strongly recommend every couple and everyone try a couples costume at least once in their life.

1. Austin Powers and one of his female companions

Whether you're Foxxy Cleopatra, Vanessa Kensington or Felicity Shagwell, everyone should go as these hilarious companions. Bonus points if you can do a British accent and have yellow teeth.

2. Scooby-Doo couples costumes


Scooby-Doo has a lot of options with all of the characters. The ideal couple to go as is Fred and Daphne. Act goofy, dress like a cartoon and sneak around at the costume parties, and you're all set to fit in with the gang!

3. Grease

What's more fun than dressing like you're in the 1950s? Dressing like two famous characters in the 1950s. Danny and Sandy are super romantic for any couple to go out as. Most people don't realize they might already have similar outfits in their wardrobe.

4. Batman and Batgirl

Batman and Batgirl are a great combo for mask lovers (you know, if you can tolerate wearing something over your head or face all night). Get other friends to dress like the Joker and other various Batman villains and this couple's costume can be even more fun!

5. Mario and Princess Peach

If you and your significant other are feeling a bit more on the nerdy side, Mario and Princess Peach are also fun costumes to go out in. Guys, just make sure there is not a Bowser around!

6. Luke and Leia

Speaking of fun nerdy costumes, Star Wars is another great go-to couples costume. Star Wars costumes can also be fun and easy DIY.

7. Link and Zelda

For couples who like going all out with detailed costumes, Link and Zelda costumes are very fun to get creative with. Be careful not to poke someone's eye out with the sword though.

8. Prince Eric and Ariel

Prince Eric and Ariel are perfect for either the Disney crazed or mermaid crazed people out there.

9. Cinderella and Prince Charming

For people who have always wanted to go to a ball and have an excuse to wear super fancy clothes, or for those who are Disney obsessed, or both, Prince Charming and Cinderella make a very elegant couple costume.

10. Meg and Hercules

These outfits might be a bit harder to come up with, but for couples who are very into sewing and making their own very detailed costumes, Hercules and Meg are perfect!

These are only some of the unlimited amounts of couples costumes. Unique and unheard of ones can even include bacon and eggs, an old couple, thunder and lightning or milk and cookies. Who knows? Maybe you and your significant other can even come up with something completely out of the ordinary. Good luck and happy couple-costuming!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
