I am wearing all black and cutting out a piece of paper to look like a “one way” sign. Thus being, One Direction. I live for puns. HA!
– Elizabeth Carey, Campus Correspondent, UC Berkley
My friends and I, though very generic, decided to be the Mean Girls for Halloween. So, I’m a cat and my other three friends will be a mouse, bunny and an “ex-wife”.

I’m going as Psy, the Gangnam Style singer. That way, everywhere I go, it will acceptable to dance ridiculously. Plus, I don’t have to buy anything! Just throw on some black pants, a blazer and a bow tie and I’m ready to go!

A golden snitch — I love Harry Potter!!!
– Zoe Berman, Campus Correspondent, Humboldt State University
I’m going to be a ballerina, because it’s easy, fun, and I can spin around all night as part of my character.
– Hannah Anderson, Campus Correspondent, University of St. Andrews
I’m being a unicorn because I want to be something funny, not overly sexy.
– Rebecca Gibson, Campus Correspondent, University of Oregon
As an aspiring female journalist wishing to be swept off by her superhero, I am going to be Lois Lane for Halloween. I’m also totally excited for the upcoming 2013 Man of Steel movie.

I’m being Minnie Mouse! I found an adorable belly shirt at Forever21 that was red with white polka dots for just $7. So I popped next door to Party City and picked up Minnie Mouse ears. Then I paired the two with a black skirt and heels, drew on a black nose with eyeliner, and voilà! It was an inexpensive and adorable alternative to the expensive costumes they sell in stores and online.

Suzy from Moonrise Kingdom. Moonrise Kingdom was a great summer movie and Suzy’s style is a fun one to replicate. I can’t wait to channel this moody mod preteen.
– Marissa Alioto, Campus Correspondent, Bowdoin College
Magic Mike because I wanted to be something different than the regular slutty girl costumes this year..so I figured why not be something slutty yet funny for me. Plus Channing Tatum is hot so why not pay homage to him?!
– Mariah Moses, Campus Correspondent, Virginia State University

Oddly enough, and very unintentionally all of my costumes this year are boys: I’m being Charlie Chaplin one night – he’s a film icon, and I’ll get to show off some serious 20s-era pantomime dance moves. The next night, I’m dressing up as Peter Pan, and my three roommates are being Tinkerbell, Captain Hook, and Wendy. And the last night, my friend and I are going as Sandy and Danny Zuko from Grease. And yes, I’m being Danny. What can I say, I couldn’t resist the temptation of Greased Lightning…
– Emilie Sintobin, Editorial Intern, Boston College
Clark Kent/Superman, because the party I went to on Friday is after a sports broadcast where I had to wear a suit, so I just wore a Superman t-shirt under my suit and had it buttoned down as if I was Clark Kent ripping off his suit.
– Andrew Bench, Real Life College Guy, San Francisco State University
I’m pretty sure I’m going to be Mary from “Mary Had a Little Lamb” again this year, since it’s pretty original and personalized!
– Mary Bryce Hargis, Campus Correspondent, University of Southern California
I’m attending a feminist Halloween party so I’m going as Sporty Spice from the Spice Girls. Girl power all the way!
– Alex Court, Branch Manager, The College of William and Mary
I want to be an alien. Green or blue skin, glittery eyeliner, and a shimmery colorful outfit. I choose to be an alien because I think it’s a fun and flirty costume. Plus, I’m also obsessed with bright colors.
– Roxanna Coldiron, Contributing Writer, Hiram College
Nancy Drew! I’ve had a very busy October and I needed to pull together a costume fast. A plaid skirt, a preppy sweater and a magnifying glass and I’m good to go!
– Amanda Quain, Campus Correspondent, Cornell University
A bag of jellybeans! I love to make my own costumes and I wanted to do something exciting and one-of-a-kind.
– Bettina Weiss, Campus Correspondent, Connecticut College
I am being a loofah. No reason besides fun!
– Chelsea Tays, Campus Correspondent, Oklahoma State University
As any collegiette knows, you have to have more than one Halloween costume. One weekend, my friend and I are being Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears (I’m dressing up as Britney, obviously). The two of us share a mutual angst towards J.T.’s marriage to Jessica Biel. The second weekend, I’m going to parties as a bachelorette because it’s easy and very funny!
– Kelsey Mulvey, How She Got Their Editor, Boston University
A referee! I wanted to be something fun and sporty (not to mention wearing shorts is easier than wearing a skirt where slip ups that can happen!).
– Amanda Kim, Campus Correspondent, University of California Irvine
The Dude from the Big Lebowski, because it’s easy – all it requires is a robe, boxers, t-shirt, sunglasses, and a carton of milk.
– Elizabeth Tompkins, Editorial Intern, The College of William and Mary
My friend and I are dressing up as Toddlers and Tiaras, and another friend of ours is going to be a crazy pageant mom. Halloween is supposed to be scary, and what’s more terrifying than four year old pageant queens with way too much makeup on?
– Michelle Lewis, Life Editor, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
I’m really not big into Halloween at all, but I work at UM’s on-campus gym and we have a staff-wide costume contest (prizes are free smoothies and gift cards to the campus bookstore!) so I opt for cheap, easy, clever, work-appropriate costumes. This year I’m wearing all black and sticking UM postcards all over me, and going as “wish you were here!”

I’m being a wildfire, two of my other friends are being a tsunami and a blizzard, and we’re going as natural disasters. Our uniting factor will be Caution tape sashes that I’m making. Going in a group always makes getting ready and making an entrance at parties much more fun. Plus, being a wildfire gives me an excuse to wear all the red and gold shiny things I can find.
