What Your Halloween Costume Says About You

It’s that time of year again; when the leaves turn a little yellower, we drink a little more pumpkin spice lattes, the streets are a little bit darker, and everyone is a little more sinful. It’s halloween and everyone is in search of the perfect not one, not two, but three halloween costumes to hit the town on "halloweekend." Now regardless of your intentions, your halloween costume says a lot about you. So this halloween weekend, dress with caution.

The sexy halloween costume

We all know as college students that Halloween is the one weekend of the year where dressing promiscuous is not only accepted but expected. The issue is that regardless of it being just Halloween it still sends a message. Don’t get me wrong I wont be covering up this Halloween season but there is a big difference between sexy and slutty and ladies it’s important to take note.

The DIY costume

We all have those super crafty friends that can whip together a costume the day of. I however am not one of those people but I can appreciate their artistic abilities. DIY costumes remind us that we are all on a tight budget as college students and its probably in our best interests to get our craft on then spend all our money at a costume shop.

The original costume

We all see those people out that you have to spend twenty minutes trying to figure out what exactly they are and at the end of the night you are just like I have to ask them because this is driving me insane. And it is always super metaphorical or out there and then you understand why you couldn't figure out what they were in the first place. What this costume tells us is that they didn’t want to be victimized for the “basic” costume so they thought outside the box and somehow made it happen.

The Squad Costume

When your squad dresses to impress. Halloween is the one time of year it’s normal to coordinate outfits with your friends. Whether you are replicating the cast of mean girls or being the Blair to their Serena, your squad can never leave your side, because that would just not make sense. What the squad costume says is that you have great group of friends that make looking ridiculous acceptable and isn't that the true meaning of Halloween.

The couples costume

We all know those couples that are inseparable and when you ask one to hang out you know the other one is coming too. Well I know it’s hard to believe but they are also the ones that wear the super coordinated couple Halloween costumes. You know those Jasmine and Aladdin’s and those Danny and Sandy’s and occasionally those peanut butter and jelly’s, well those are the costumes and the couples I am talking about. These costumes say not only are we dating but we also really wanted to match and Halloween is the only time that it is semi-acceptable.

Whatever costume you do decide to wear just know you are making a statement so dress accordingly. Happy Halloween!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
