If anyone has seen "Parks and Recreation," you would know that their Halloween costumes were on point. Ron as a pirate, Leslie as Rosie the Riveter and Jerry as Mr. Potato Head could not be anymore perfect. Their costume selections seemed effortless, but we all understand how difficult it can be to get the right one. There are so many struggles associated with this topic and the Parks and Rec gang can explain the process of finding a costume perfectly.

1. Brainstorming ideas.

Well, Halloween has returned and hit us like this skeleton hit Ben, which means it is time to think up some killer ideas. Unfortunately, the only ones popping into my head are pretty basic and I can't go as a cat for the fifth year in a row. Looks like I am out of ideas, time to turn to my laptop.

2. Searching the internet.

Seems like it is the year we will be seeing Harambe, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump at all the parties. Maybe we will also see some "Kim Kardashian robbery" costumes make an appearance. The internet is full of so many ideas that are either too crazy or I am just not feeling. Might as well head out to Party City or a Halloween store.

3. Going to the first store.

Alright, it is now time to conquer this shopping trip and leave happy with an amazing costume. Nothing is really standing out, but there are a few "maybes" that I could get. Let's head to the next store to see if their selection is any different.

4. Moving on to the second store.

It looks like I was sort of wrong with the idea that there would be different costumes. There are so many of the same ones from the first store, but it is worth a shot to look around while we are here. This is about the time when you actually find a great costume, but it ends up being sold out in your size. Time to head to the third store.

5. Why not go to a third?

OK, let's hope that the costume from the second store is in my size at this one. However, here we are with another letdown and a wasted trip. I am so tired of looking and getting frustrated over this whole process. We should really end this now by going back to the first store and just buying whatever seems good enough.

6. Back to store number one.

Finally, here we are for the last time and ready to get one of our "maybe" choices. Thank goodness that I can finally go home and not have to worry about this stress until next year.
