Many of the costumes we wore as kids make a reappearance in college during Halloween. No, girls don’t try and struggle into the same costumes they wore when they were five, even though sometimes it looks like it, but we recreate these innocent, adorable, costumes, taking them to a whole different level.
1. A Cat
When did an innocent, little kids, costume become a LBD, some ears, and eyeliner whiskers? Being a cat is the go to costume for any girl lacking some creativity and still wanting to look sexy.
2. The Teletubbies
Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Po, and Laa-Laa anyone? Your favorite tv show as a kid tranforms from a full body kids costume to scantily clad girls in red, yellow, green, and purple with the signature Teletubbies’ shapes on their heads. The sun baby would be very disappointed.
3. Minnie Mouse
Trying to find your mickey mouse? Not in that tight outfit you aren’t. As a kid dressed as Minnie Mouse you wore the red, spotted dress, and mouse ears…not a tight black skirt and some heels. You are not welcome in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
4. Minions
Who doesn’t love the minions from Despicable Me? That being said it is a lot cuter when a little kid runs around screaming, “BEE-DO BEE-DO!” than it is from a drunk college girl.
5. Thing 1 and Thing 2
Thing 1 and Thing 2 are known for causing mischief, but not the kind of mischief a drunk girl causes after a few drinks. “Drunk 1” and “Drunk 2” are far from the blue haired, red jump suit wearing, costumes we wore with our siblings as kids.

6. Ninja Turtles
Yes we all love Ninja Turtles, even girls, but would Donatello ever be caught dead in a tutu? This is typically a young boys costume and should probably stay that way.
7. Disney Princesses
Every girl wants to be a princess as a kid. This desire continues into college except these costumes would not meet the Disney G-rating.
8. Mario and Luigi
When did overalls and mustaches turn to bras and suspenders? Donkey Kong would super smash Mario and Luigi if they dressed like this.
9. A Bunny
The bunny costume became a thing as soon as Regina George wore it in Mean Girls. Do everyone a favor and save being a bunny for your 5 year old little sister.
10. SpongeBob and Patrick
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Not college girls. Unless you’re actually shaped like a sponge and a star, you aren’t doing Spongebob and Patrick justice. Your 8 year old self did it better.
