Ladies, raise your hand if you've ever been a cat for Halloween.

5 Costumes All Women Should Avoid This Halloween
Grace Vazquez

Every year there's the same typical costumes that girls from the ages of twelve and on wear in mass groups. What started as what seemed to be "shamed" costumes due to the amount of skin or sexual connotation surrounding them have now become the trend for women and what is desired in the eyes of their peers. While there's nothing wrong with these costumes, it is time to shake things up this year. Ladies, here is a solid list of costumes you should avoid this Halloween.

1. The cat

While this is an easy costume and is actually what I went dressed as last year, it is way overdone. It's time to leave this costume to the women who didn't know they were going out until last minute and for all of us to put some more thought into our costumes.

2. The bunny

Honey, "Mean Girls" came out over ten years ago. At least ditch Regina's bunny costume and go for Cady's more original dead bride look.

3. Sexy vampire

Not going to lie, I spent a solid ten minutes trying to decide if I was going to go as a sexy vampire this year. However, in an act to salvage my originality I didn't follow through with this idea. Not only is this look overdone, but any look with tight clothing followed by fake blood was just thrown on you is severely out of style.

4. The football player

This one is actually really cute, but not something a girl should go for if she wants to stand out. Especially if you are planning on buying your own jersey, avoid this one at all costs. Spend your money on a more original look.

5. Anything you see at a college party

Honestly, anything you see at a frat party is overdone and should be retired immediately. Usually, all of the women can be summarized by the costumes listed above.

While all of these costumes are extremely common, I think it's important that we laugh at ourselves sometimes. Ladies, go as whatever you feel most confident as. Don't let anyone persuade you to go as something else simply because it's not their taste. If you want to go as a bunny, be the cutest bunny in the club. If you want to be a classic football player, buy that jersey girl. Women should be most confident in whatever they choose to wear, not what someone else tells them to wear. Have fun this year, ladies, and stay safe.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
