10 Creative Music-Related Halloween Costumes
Time Out

We’re a week away from Halloween, and just in case you’re still struggling to find that perfect costume, you’re in luck. I came up with a brilliant music-related costume for this year for myself (it’s R.E.M. related, maybe I’m Michael Stipe, maybe I’m not). Now to help you looking for a last minute potential costume, here are ten possible options related to music, bands, and songs that will be fun, comfortable, and great conversation starters at any party you end up at.

1. Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz

“I got sunshine in a bag.” Grab a cowboy costume a la Clint Eastwood in “Dirty Harry” and then get a bag with “sunshine” written on it. Done. It’s perfect. You could also probably carry a chair around and pretend to be 2012 Republican Convention Clint Eastwood with the sunshine bag. There are some options.

2. Karma Police by Radiohead

This one seems pretty obvious. Find a police costume and add “Karma” to it. Alternatively, you can also add “Thought” and it’s a 1984 costume. Again, it’s good to have options. But this is definitely a good year to have a Radiohead costume.

3. Crocodile Rock by Elton John

Do you want to be one of the most fun songs of all time? Get yourself a crocodile onesie that will definitely be able to serve you some cozy winter purposes down the line and an inflatable guitar, and you’re the Elton classic.

4. Mr. Blue Sky by ELO

Look through your closet. Do you have any blue clothes? You can do this. Maybe see if you can find some type of sun motif to stick on yourself, but definitely find some sort of name tag that says “Mr. Blue Sky.” Perfect.

5. Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran

Get a one of these wolf hats or a wolf onesie, and then a food or snack of your choice to carry around for the evening. This way, you are guaranteed to have your own food with you no matter what party you’re at, plus you’ll be pretty cozy. This is actually an ideal situation.

6. Arctic Monkeys

Again, onesies are the coziest and the comfiest way to spend your Halloween. All it takes is a monkey one and some snowflake decorations to wear. Maybe even if you have the Arctic Monkeys beanie, perfect. If you want to get more involved, you could be Arabella of “Arabella” fame, but that’s effort.

7. Bono


Do you have sunglasses? Do you have any type of leather jacket or blazer? Congratulations, you can be Bono.

8. “Anyway, here’s Wonderwall” Guy

Basically just carry around an acoustic guitar. Or maybe get that inflatable guitar from the Crocodile Rock costume.

9. The Experience of Listening to Bon Iver

Head down to the local thrift store for a nice fisherman sweater and a small framed picture of mountains from the back corner of home decor. Practice looking wistfully at the picture. Done, you’ve embodied Bonny Bear.

10. Literally Any Member of Coldplay


Just get some mismatched colored clothing together, you can literally be any member of Coldplay. If you stand in the background throughout whatever event you’re at, you’re any member that’s not Chris Martin. Put a fair trade symbol on your hand, and you’re Chris Martin.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
