The Cutest Couples/Family Costumes Out There

Dressing up is one of my favorite Halloween festivities. Whether it's for a party or trick-or-treating, Halloween is a great time to dress up as someone you're not.

I've compiled a list of costumes for couples and families that I think are to-die for. I do understand that not all of these are everybody's favorites, but they are definitely up there on my favorites list. To begin, here are a few cute costumes for couples I found this year:

1. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy

A Spongebob Squarepants classic! This is a cute costume that you can make as simple or detailed as you'd like. Bonus points if you pose with your invisible car!

2. Bonnie and Clyde

This is the perfect costume for you and your S.O. to truly act as partners in crime. Keep it classy and sassy with this throwback costume.

3. Tourists

TouristsOprah Magazine

I'd say this is a pretty easy costume to pull off, but it never gets old. Odds are you have most everything you need in your closet, and you can get creative with some picture poses.

4. Sailor and Mermaid

Captain and MermaidOprah Magazine

Who doesn't love a good sea tale about the forbidden love between a sailor and his mermaid? This costume allows for some creative licensing on what kind of mermaid you want to be. Cute? Creepy? Traditional? The choice is yours!

5. Dunkin' Donuts

Dunkin' DonutsOprah Magazine

I LOVE a good pun when it comes to Halloween costumes. Dunkin' Donuts is actually a pun I haven't seen anyone dress up as so I'd give it bonus points for originality.

6. Astronaut and Alien

Speaking of puns, this costume pair is out of this world! Space is so cool to begin with, so why not embrace your other-worldly ideas and dress as this cute pair?

I've also got a few cute family costumes up my sleeve!

1. Wizard of Oz

This family costume idea is the cutest for a family with one little girl leading the clan. Dorothy needs her three best friends to help guide her through the night though!

2. Monsters Inc.

This costume idea is great for a smaller family. Boo can be dressed in her everyday clothes or her monster outfit with her parents as Mike and Sully. Just don't let the guys from the CDA see her after a 23-19!

3. Toy Story

Jennifer Maune

Here's a cute idea for a larger family! There are so many fun characters from the Toy Story franchise that you can pick and choose who wants to be who with plenty of variety. Just watch out for Andy!

4. Incredibles

Frugal Coupon Living - Ashley Langston

This is one SUPER costume for a SUPER family. With each family member expressing themselves through their powers, Halloween is set to be one very interesting night.

5. Jurassic Park

How cute is this one? How could you resist little dinosaurs roaring and demanding candy as they trick-or-treat the night away?

6. The Flintstones

Finally, we've got everybody's favorite modern stone-aged family. There are a couple options for this one, especially if you've got a larger family. Just throw the Rubble family in there as well!

Even if none of these knock your socks off, I hope they got you thinking about other dress up ideas that might work for you this Halloween. Happy Haunting!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
