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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
