Babies are not sexy, fruit is not sexy and Harambe is definitely not sexy.

Halloween is the one day in the whole year that you can be whatever your heart desires. People never cease to amaze me with how unbelievably creative and clever they are. A doctor, a scientist, a bunny, a pumpkin; the possibilities are limitless. Boundaries are pushed but sometimes they are pushed too far, especially for women's costumes. I've seen, online and in person, some of the most offensive, strange, and disgusting costumes that should have never been made. Here is a complication of some of the cringe-worthy women's Halloween costumes.

1. "Sexy Sesame Street."




2. "Anna Rexia."


3. "Sexy Harambe."

4. "Sexy Osama Bin Laden."


5. "Navahoe."

6. "Sexy Shrek."

7. "Sexy Fruit."

8. "Sexy Minion."

9. "Sexy Cry Baby."

10. "Sexy Olaf."

11. "Sexy Cecil The Lion."

These costumes sexualize people, animals, and issues that should never ever be seen as sexy. There are three bigs reasons we need to stop the hypersexualization of women's costumes:

1. The costumes dehumanize women and teach young girls that their worth is in their bodies.

2. These costumes are offensive and insensitive to certain people, cultures, races and communities.

3. These costumes are cringe-worthy and distract from the real spirit of Halloween; to be whatever you want to be, not just "sexy."

If what you want to be for Halloween is 'sexy', then all the power to you, but just please do it a way that is respectful and tasteful.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
