What Your Halloween Costume Says About You

Trick or treat!

What Your Halloween Costume Says About You

It's that time of year again. Candy corn, Disney Channel Original Movies, pumpkin flavored everything- oh, and girls in skimpy doctor and jungle animal costumes all over the place. No matter what kind of costume you wear, it says a little bit about who you are and how you view Halloween.

Something basic

All you need is a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks and you're set. You aren't much of a risk taker and know you'll look cute dressed as a cat, so there's no reason to deviate from the norm. Your Instagram post might be weak on likes because it looks like every single picture on every person's feed. You don't want to waste your Starbucks money on a costume, but you're in luck because you've worn the same mouse ears 7 years in a row.

Something funny

You don't take anything too seriously and your finsta is on point. Your costume might be inspired by the latest meme or presidential candidate, and you're sure to make everyone around you laugh the whole night. You don't care about looking "sexy" on Halloween because all that matters to you is having a good time. Even if all of your friends are dressed as bunnies, it doesn't stop you from going as a life-sized banana or Hillary Clinton.

Something scary

Halloween is a BIG deal to you. As a holiday, it trumps your birthday, and you wait all year to dress as the corpse bride or a vampire (not the sexy kind). You're obsessed with American Horror Story and The Walking Dead, and you secretly wish you were on one of these shows. You binge watch horror movies like it's your job. Your friends don't understand why you spent $50 on a costume that included red colored contacts, but to you, the scarier the better.

Something scandalous

To you, less is more. It doesn't matter what you go as- a nurse, a police officer, a nerd--it's going to be scandalous. You're confident and love having an excuse to dress as a hot construction worker for the night. Your Snapchat story is 200+ seconds long. There's no limit to the amount of "candid" pictures you make your friends take of you. You probably get disapproving Facebook messages from family members when they see your pictures, but that doesn't stop you. You know you look good.

No costume

You're obviously the life of the party.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
