Halloween is approaching fast and it's time to hit the local costume store with your friends to find a few good outfits for the weekend. There are so many different ways you can go when it comes to dressing up and since you will most likely be needing more than one costume, it's fun to mix up your ideas. For example, one night you can wear a scary costume and the other, you can put together something cute. Another fun way to dress for Halloween is to match with one of your best friends! Here are some good ideas that you can keep in mind when putting together the perfect costume.

1. The Scary Costume

Dressing scary to parties requires a ton of fake blood and a terrifying look in your eye. Don't be afraid to take it too far by purchasing a creepy mask or wearing something that is guaranteed to make even you jump when you look at yourself in the mirror. You'll have people screaming in your face and running away in fear all night long.

2. The Funny Costume

If you are known for your humor, then dressing up funny is perfect for you. Funny costumes will definitely make everyone around you giggle and probably want to take multiple pictures of you. You will stand out in the crowd, so you won't need to worry about your friends losing you at big parties and, chances are, if you do get lost, people will know exactly who your friends are referring to when they explain your costume.

3. The Artsy Costume

These types of costumes are for people who are able to put paint to skin and make it look fantastic. Face paint and intense makeup will really bring this type of costume together. The best part about these outfits is that it doesn't really matter what kind of clothes you are wearing on your body because most people will be paying more attention to the work of art that is covering your skin and face.

4. The Sexy Costume

These are the most common types of Halloween costumes that you will see on a college campus. These are costumes that a lot of people decide to do and have probably done more than once. Dressing as a bunny or a cat is the easiest sexy Halloween costume and even though seeing them around gets old, you will continue to see about 50 girls wearing all black and sporting ears every single year.

5. The Cute Costume

These costumes require a lot of creativity and will make other people jealous that they didn't think of it before you did. As you walk through the party, you will most likely hear a few "awww"s passing by.

6. The Easy Costume

These types of costumes are for the one who completely forgets about Halloween and hasn't put any thought or time into finding an outfit. Usually they are created by rummaging through your closet and finding a few articles of clothing that look like they would go together.

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!
