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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
