With the end of October comes many holidays. The season is in full swing. And although I’m Muslim and only partake in 1 of the upcoming holidays (Thanksgiving) – this is still my favorite time of year. The air is crisp. The lattes are endless. And we kick start it all by dressing up and eating lots of candy for Halloween night.

Today, I’m going to talk about the most predictable Halloween costumes. This article will be published the day after Halloween – so let’s see if my predictions come true. Disclaimer: The following is based off of my own assumptions of trendy costumes – google did not help me.

1. Harley Quinn 

Just because google didn’t help me doesn’t mean my editor-in-chief, Michelle, didn’t. She happened to tell me that this was the most googled costume. And that’s kind of what inspired this piece. Who doesn’t want to be a badass female villain with colorful hair? Clearly no one.

2. Clowns 

I truly hope this prediction is incorrect because I believe given the current climate, that costume is wrong on several levels. However, because there’s an idiot in every neighborhood, I’m sure someone will pull out a clown costume as a “prank.” Just know, if you mess with fire, you’re going to get burned.

3. Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump 

This prediction is also because of the current climate. I’m sure there will be lots of Clintons and Trumps running around – either out of admiration or the complete opposite. Even my neighbor has Clinton and Trump Halloween decorations on his front lawn. Quite frankly, I don’t know how people aren’t sick of those two names by now.

4. A Cat

You all know I’m right about this one – it happens ever year. Given the stereotype, please note that I’m in no way including this to be judgmental. Heck, even I drew “cat makeup” on my face one year. It was fierce.

5. Any Game of Thrones Character 

I love Game of Thrones. You love Game of Thrones. We all love Game of Thrones. And I’m positive someone will dress up as Khaleesi or one of the Starks. Which I definitely encourage.

The North remembers.

6. Snapchat Filters 

I don’t know why, but I have a hunch someone will dress up as one of the many snapchat filters we all know and love. I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw someone walking around with dog ears and a fake dog tongue.

That concludes the list. Did you dress up as any of the above mentioned costumes? Was I totally off or totally on point? Whatever scenario, I hope you all had an extra spooky and safe Halloween night!
