8 Reasons Finding A Couples Costume For Halloween Together Is Scarier Than Any Horror Movie

Halloween is right around the corner which means it is definitely time to start looking for a costume... especially if you're planning on going with your significant other. Finding a costume for your self is tricky on its own, but trying to find two that correspond is twice as hard. I've been through the struggle once in my life and now it's going on a second time this year.

Here are some reasons why finding a couples costume sucks (Halloween/Vampire pun intended):

1. Trying to decide what you both like

"Babe, how about this?"

"No that's not creative enough."

"OK, what about this?"

"No, I'll look bad in that."

SERIOUSLY?

2. Feeling like every couple costume has already been done

When you're searching on Google and notice that almost every couple does the same costume or their idea is just super cheesy and you and your honey don't want to fall into that category.

3. When another couple has the same costume

What's worse than a heartbreak? When you put blood, sweat and tears into your couples costume and another couple shows up in the exact same one.

4. It HAS to be cute/sexy

Basically if you and your partner's costume isn't sexy is some sort of way, you won't even be looked at twice.

5. It has to be social media approved

It not only has to be Instaworthy, it has to have a good caption.

6. The internet makes it look so easy

Every couple costume on the internet looks so perfect and so easy. Then when you try it and the costumes turn out to look like a two year old made them...

7. Quality vs money saver

Deciding whether or not you both want to drop $100 total on two costumes and look like stunners for one night or instead drop $20 on two costumes but look like you got ready 10 minutes before coming to the party.

8. Not having a set plan

So you and your BF/GF finally found the perfect costumes for the perfect duo... and then you realize that you really have no set plan for Halloweekend and you guys are just kind of going to wing it.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
