Are you tired of wearing the same basic, boring, costumes every Halloween? Don't wanna procrastinate until the last day and end up dressing up like a cat again? Want to stand out in the crowd and be remembered for having a great costume?

Here are 10 wacky, unique costume ideas that every college student should consider rocking this October.

1. Flo from the Progressive commercials

You'll definitely stand out at a party for dressing up as an absolute ICON.

2. Chick Magnet

This pun will definitely make everybody chuckle!

3. Triceratops

This costume is enormous and looks like it's pretty hard to walk in, but hey, at least you'll look dino-mite.

4. Macaroni and Cheese

Dress up as one of the most classic dorm room staples! This website gives you a tutorial on how to make the costume.

5. Moth and Lamp

This one is technically just a meme, but you and your best friend should definitely dress up as this (weird) 2018 moth and lamp meme.

6. Arthur

Another meme - this Arthur meme is a little dead by now, but the costume is still pretty original and definitely will still make you stand out among all the cats and bunnies.

7. Ramen

Another way to dress up like a snacc.

8. Asparagus

I personally haven't seen anyone touch an asparagus since coming to college, so there's a 100% chance no other college kid will think of this idea.

9. Squirrel

Nothing says scary like a giant squirrel.

10. Cat, but like an actual cat

Think the idea of being a cat for halloween is still cool, but want to stand out? Look no further!

There you have it! A couple of meme costumes, three food costumes, and a bunch of random costumes. Hopefully, these ideas gave you some inspiration for your next Halloween party!

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.

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.
