Halloween Costumes We Should Say Goodbye To

Be original & not so cliché

Halloween Costumes We Should Say Goodbye To

Halloween...the one day of the year that you can be ANYTHING or ANYONE you wish. Why settle for the typical costumes that more and more people try to recreate each year?

1. Police Officer

Let's be honest, at one point we've all thought about this very overdone costume. It's easy to recreate and still looks hot, but at every Halloween party, there are always at least two different versions.




2. The Playboy Bunny/ Sexy Bunny

Even though this was the fabulous Elle Woods' outfit of choice, that doesn't mean you have to try it out again. Odds are you won't look twice as hot as she did.

3. Sexy Cat

Probably the easiest and cheapest costume there is and excuse my wording but BASIC, too. Throw on your go-to most likely over-worn, see-through black leggings, a too small/ low cut black tank and some ears from the dollar store and BOOM: A costume.

4. Angel/Devil

The costume that you think, "OMG let's go as an angel and devil, it describes our personalities so well." I can guarentee there are many other costumes that describe you just as well.


5. Disney Princess

I can't even hate on this one as much as others because I was the Little Mermaid last year....BUT come on, way to ruin your childhood with making it as skimpy as possible. There are only so many Disney princess' you can portray and they are usually done in a group as it is. Last year, girls thought they were being original dressing up as the new princess Elsa, from Disney's Frozen...unfortunately, everyone was thinking the same thing.


Changing things up a bit. I have to be fair and also talk about overdone men's costumes.

6. Construction Worker

I can't even think of the amount of times I have gone out and seen a thrown together/last minute construction worker costume. Jean's, a hat, and vest is all it takes.

7. Doctor

I understand there are many drunk college guys who think it's funny to be a doctor or dare I say gynecologist running around from party to party...but like you would tell us... STOP being so generic/basic. Plus, you will never look like McDreamy or McSteamy.

8. Cowboy

Flannel, Jean's, cowboy hat and, if they're REALLY prepared, a pair of cowboy boots...need I say more?


9. Clark Kent

This is for all of the guys out there who think they are being original. Well...sorry guys, but every Halloween I see at least a few men dressed up as this, sporting fake glasses, a superman shirt and button up.

10. Pimp

First off...why would you even want to be this one day of the year? No, girls will think you're hot or funny...most likely kinda dumb looking, actually. In my own experience, I've found that the one that dresses up as a pimp and craves attention is usually the most drunk idiot.

THE MOST OVERDONE COUPLES COSTUME.....

11. Danny and Sandy

The movie, Grease came out 37 years ago and a plethora of couples each year show it's not going out of style as a costume anytime soon. Even though I must agree Danny and Sandy are two iconic movie characters..."You better shape up" and give other couples in history a chance!

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):

When it comes to Bloomington-Normal, there are many outstanding factors that any Illinois State student can say are unique to our college town (and maybe others too). Proud or not, we Redbirds know all the ins and outs of Blono.

1. The wait for Buffalo Wild Wings is always going to be long on Thursday nights.

As hard as we try, it's nearly impossible to resist the 69-cent wings on a college student budget. Plus, they are always delicious!
