15 Quirky Halloween Costumes For Your College Friend Group, Give The People What They Want

In This Article:

I usually start planning my Halloween costumes in mid-July.

Some may say I'm planning too far ahead, but if I don't plan that early, I end up doing something basic like a black cat or a Hooters girl. And while these costumes are still cute, there is something so much better about doing something original.

These 15 costumes are sure to have you stand out from the over used costumes that every girl goes for last minute.

1. Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie

I'm doing this costume this year and I couldn't be more excited! I love the early 2000s and trashy reality TV, so the combination of both really works for me. If you want to send this costume over the top, you can always have another friend dress up as Kim Kardashian to follow Paris around!

2. Clean Teens

My friends and I love One Tree Hill, so last year we dressed up as clean teens! It is a great way to do a One Tree Hill costume without doing the typical Raven's cheerleader or Nathan Scott jersey.

3. Sims

My roommate loves Sims and decided that she was going to dress up as one for Halloween. Sims can easily be turned into a group costume with a little creativity and a lot of individuality!

4. Reindeer and Santa

Senior year, my friends and I dressed up as reindeer and had our friend, who was wheelchair-bound with a broken leg, dress up as Santa. We decorated his wheelchair like a sleigh and walked around singing jingle bells. This is still my favorite costume ever, and it is one of the most comfortable too!

5. Mario Cart Characters

This costume may not be totally practical for crowded frat basements, but if you're feeling bold and competitive this costume screams fun!

6. Shark Week

This might be one of the funniest costumes I've ever seen!

7. Spice Girls

I'm totally calling dibs on Baby Spice!

8. Bob Ross

9. Slutty Road Signs

Totally funny and easy to do!

11. Puns

My sister's personal favorite is pig in a blanket!

11. Shark Boy and Lava Girl

This could be a cute couples costume, or you can grab your best pal and recreate this look too.

12. Shrek and Donkey

13. 101 Dalmatians

My friends and I did this costume in 8th grade. Be careful about how big your spots are or else you might have lacrosse bros following you around and calling you cows.

14. Arthur and Buster

I desperately want to find someone to do this costume with me. Arthur is an icon and taught us all that having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card, so you know you'll have fun in this costume!

15. Cards Against Humanity

Everyone's favorite card game is now everyone's favorite costume.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
