If you’re like me, you too are experiencing the Halloween costume dilemma. It’s a question thousands, dare I say millions, ask themselves every year:

To sexy, or not to sexy?

Or a nun

(my FBI agent is probably really judging my search history…)

And don’t even get me started on the categories within sexy.

But, if your college is like mine, Halloween isn’t just October 31st. It’s the weekend before, Halloween itself, and the weekend after, so don’t feel pressured to limit yourself. You can be everything you want to be. But also, don’t feel pressured to go hard, you can have fun as much fun in a t-shirt that says “costume” as you can dressed as Harley Quinn or Cher Horowitz. The best costumes are the ones that you’re most comfortable in and that you feel the happiest in.
