The 10 People You See On Halloween

All the bippity boppity boos you're bound to run into.

Halloween is here and in full swing, and whether you love it or you hate the holiday (and if you hate it, I'm sorry, what?) there's no avoiding it. Whether you plan on hitting up one of the dozens of Halloween parties or just sitting at home watching Hocus Pocus while scrolling through heavily edited Instagram photos of people showing off their costumes, you're bound to see a wide variety of people who each have a different idea of what a Halloween costume should be. I'm sure out of the many people you see on Halloween night, you're bound to recognize a few in the list below.

1) The One Who's Had their Costume Planned for Months

This person lives for Halloween and probably already has a Pinterest board full of ideas for next year.

2) The Makeup Wiz

You can't help but just stare in awe because you literally learned how to put on eye liner correctly like two months ago.

3) The Procrastinator

This is the person who either got dragged to the party even though they swore they weren't going and needed a last minute costume.. or they were just lazy.. or broke.

4) The Basic Girl

Is it really Halloween if you don't see a girl in a short dress with some type of animal ears on?

5) The Pun Master

They also spend 75% of their evening explaining what they are to people, but hey, it's still hilarious.

6) The Scary One

More than likely, all night they are having to remind people who they are behind the crazy, dark makeup and excessive fake blood.

7) The Couple

A delicate reminder that you are also very much alone on this holiday as well.

8) The Squad

Nothing like rolling up to every Halloween party with the squad. The costumes make for some pretty cute Instagram pictures too.

9) The Pledge

Typically the funniest costume at the party, but you can't help feel bad for the guy who got stuck wearing nothing but tights for the evening.

10) The One Who Stays Home and Watches Scary Movies

You usually see them from their Snapchat story, captioned "trick or treating from my bed" with Netflix in the background.They don't get why anyone would ever want to spend the time and money making a costume just to go to a loud, dark place for a party. I think we've all been there.

So the real question is, who will you decide to be this Halloween?

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1174

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
