It is officially the middle of October which only means one thing, we are halfway to Halloween!
Now's the time to start brainstorming what you're going to dress up as, if you haven't already. Need some ideas? Well, here's the 10 different kinds of costumes that you'll see around campus on Halloweekend, maybe it will spark some inspiration.
1. The “Basic” Ones
If I had a dollar for every cat, ‘Where’s Waldo’, or referee costume I saw, I’d be able to pay off my student loans now
2. The “Sexy” Ones
“What’re you going to be this year?”“I can’t choose between a sexy nurse, a sexy bunny, a sexy mermaid, or a Victoria’s Secret Angel” *actual conversation I overheard*
3. The “Punny” Ones
I’m not going to lie, I actual really enjoy some of these. They take time to come up with but some of them are a little too farfetched.
4. The “I Thought Of This 30 Minutes Before I Left” Ones
This is the typical ‘I’ll throw on an oversized men’s dress shirt, some Nike Pros, and high socks and go as Risky Business’… not much thinking involved but enough of a costume to get you into the parties
5. The “Couple” Ones
These can range anywhere from the classic Sandy and Danny or Minnie and Mickey, to the more creative Tooth Fairy and dentist or Harry Potter and a golden snitch
6. The “Group Of Friends” Ones
Depending on the size of the group, some of these can get pretty complicated. If you’ve got three people you can do things like PowerPuff girls or the three musketeers, or if you have 7+ you can do ideas such as Snow White and the 7 dwarfs or the Mario Kart characters
7. The “Currently Popular” Ones
These are the ones that are usually characters from whatever movie/TV shows are currently popular. Last year it was mainly a lot of Harley Quinn’s. What’ll it be this year? Guess we’ll have to wait and see
8. The “DIY Crafty” Ones
This is for the people that put A TON of work into their costume. My personal favorite? Once in middle school my teacher dressed up as Barbie still in her box, which she painted and decorated and it looked AWESOME
9. The “I Put No Effort In” One
“I’m going to go as men’s biggest fear and write ‘commitment’ in sloppy letters on a plain white shirt” (goes in correspondence with the “I Thought Of This Thirty Minutes Ago” ones… for obvious reasons)
10. The “I Only Did This Because Of The Makeup” Ones
As soon as the temperature drops lower than 75 degrees, all social media is filled with all the insane costume makeup and special effects that everyone wishes they were talented enough to recreate. Instead most people go for the simpler skeleton makeup or the sugar skull designs
