With Halloween just around the corner, literally, what better costume than a #throwback costume?! After browsing the internet for hours, I have compiled the best costumes that bring you back to your childhood memories!

1. Chef Boyardee

I don't know about y'all, but Chef Boyardee was my go to lunch, especially the ravioli! Heck, who am I kidding? It's still a go-to because 'broke college student probs.' What better way to reminisce than to be the Chef Boyardee himself!

2. Minnie Mouse

She is a classic! And ladies, you can look so precious by pulling off a less trashy costume that is totally rockin'! Not to mention, who doesn't want to be comfortable on a night of party hopping?

3. The Game Boy

Gentlemen, instead of being the player; be the game! What better way to show your techy side than to go as a classic handheld gaming device? Not to mention, who didn't love playing Mario?

4. Lisa Frank

Lisa Frank was the talk of the school way back in the day. For me and my fellow friends, it was always show-and-tell when someone picked up a new set of Lisa Frank school supplies. So, instead of being the classic cheetah, be the colorful leopard! And even though you might need to explain your costume, you'll be one of a kind!

5. Tamagotchi

What's now seen today as an app in the app store, once was a portable gaming device (that honestly, I never understood). However, it makes a really cute costume! If you had a Tamagotchi and you understood it, then I definitely think you should rock this costume for Halloween. Heck, you might meet a Game Boy and live happily ever after.

6. VHS Videotape

For those of you who are too young to know what this is, it's how us 90's kids watched movies. Crazy right?! What better way to be "vintage" than being a walking VHS. And gentleman, do you wanna pick up the ladies? I would recommend going with a Disney princess movie as your title!

7. Coppertone Baby

I know as of recently the internet was flooded with a recent photo of a college girl with the same costume but personally, I think this version is way cuter! I don't know about you all, but my parents slathered sunscreen on me as a child! Not to mention, I remember seeing the Coppertone baby on every bottle they used. So, how cute would it be to go fully clothed, yet naked, to this year's Halloween party? Super adorable! Plus, you'll make everyone do a double take.

8. Tonka Truck

Obviously, I can tell it isn't technically a Tonka Truck, but to make it one is easily just a switch of painting Tonka on the side instead of CAT. And in the world of social media and technology, how fun would it be to be like this guy and strap a Go Pro to the front to record the good, the bad, and the ugly of the greatest party of the year.

9. Smokey the Bear/ Campfire

How amazing is this couples costume!?! Sure, you might need to get hella crafty, but these costumes are bound to win a Grammy! What better way to throwback to your childhood than with the slogan "Only you can prevent wildfires."

That's a wrap! It's time to get your mummy on!

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.

"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.

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.
