13 Couple's Costume Ideas To Start Planning Now So You'll Be #RelationshipGhouls By Halloween

The first day of fall isn't until September 23, but with Labor Day weekend behind us and pumpkin spice lattes already available for sale, for many that means it's officially Halloween szn. Many years I've wanted to do an elaborate or fun Halloween costume with my S.O., friends, or by myself and simply didn't have the time, forcing me to cop out and either repeat a costume from previous years or to do a generic witch, nerd, princess, etc.

Now that I've put costume-planning on the radar, there are no excuses for not going all-out this year! Here are some couple's costume ideas that you can start gathering the materials (clothing, accessories, makeup, wigs) for now!

Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen

Maybe the nephew/aunt plot line skews your view of them as a "couple's" costume, but they are an iconic duo nonetheless. Perhaps just pretend the last season never happened?

Start practicing your braiding skills now.

You need to get your hands on A LOT of white face paint ASAP.

Mr. and Mrs. Incredible

Name a more powerful couple. I'll wait.

You might already have the clothes for this costume, the only other things you'll need are crafting skills and some temporary hair dye.

You'll probably be able to thrift and alter the clothes you need for this one!

Lilo and Stitch

One of you can order a Stitch onesie and be extra cozy!

It's going to take some online searching and possibly a lot of $$$ to find the right look for this one, so start looking and saving now. If you can pull it off, you'll definitely stand out from the crowd!

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy

A classic.

Willy Wonka and an Oompa Loompa

Please dress as the Gene Wilder version, not the Johnny Depp one.

Shrek and Fiona

If you want a royal couple that's not from Disney, Shrek and Fiona are always a top-tier choice.

Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper

Definitely go for Hopper's casual Hawaiian shirt look from the most recent season and thrift all the clothes you'll need for this that you don't already have!

This year is your year to plan a fun, elaborate costume. Go for it!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
