Combine Halloween AND feminism!

With Halloween just around the corner, the question is popping up more and more: What will I be for Halloween? Never fear, ladies, here are the top 10 feminist Halloween costumes in 2017!

1. Wonder Woman

I'm sure I'll see a million Wonder Women this Halloween, but I know I won't get sick of it. Wonder Woman took the mainstream media by storm after the movie was released earlier this year, and she's the feminist icon we deserve.

2. Ruth Bader Ginsburg

AKA the Notorious RBG. Currently serving on the U.S. Supreme Court, RBG is known for her scathing dissents and for never beating around the bush.

3. Leslie Knope

Who doesn't want to be the tireless leader of Pawnee's Parks & Recreation department who later becomes (*SPOILER ALERT*) the governor of Indiana?

4. A flapper from the Roaring Twenties

The 1920s were a time where women were finally starting to be liberated from the gender roles that confined them, and the flapper look is a symbol of that time period. (Me? I'm going as Velma Kelly.)

5. Ariel Moore (from Footloose)

(Pardon the language but this is one of the coolest parts of the movie tbh.) This is a slightly unconventional costume, but could work with some red cowboy boots and 80s hair. Ariel Moore, with Ren MacCormick, stood up to her father and the whole town and organized a senior dance at Bomont High (honestly, if you haven't seen Footloose by now, I can't explain it to you - just go watch it).

6. The Schuyler Sisters (werk)

Angelica, Eliza, AND PEGGY. Who doesn't wanna spit fire at their local Halloween party?

7. Rosie the Riveter

Another classic option. The face of the women of World War II, Rosie is a timeless Halloween costume and reminder that we can do it!

8. Hillary Clinton

Love her or hate her, Hillary running for office and getting so close to winning was a huge step for women everywhere. And she's easily recognizable - who doesn't love pantsuits?

9. Frida Kahlo

"At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can." A Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo has long been a symbol of the feminist movement.

10. Beyoncé

Because it's Bey.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
