Okay, show of hands, who decided they were too old to dress up when they hit about 10 years old? No one? Just me? Oh, okay. Well, in any case, though we as young adults are well past the trick-or-treat age, that doesn't change the fact that Halloween is still a pretty prominent day in our society. So if you find yourself dragged to a party or roped into taking your little siblings out, here are a few easy, last minute costume ideas for you.

1. An assortment of fruit.

You and a couple friends looking to go out together? Grab a couple big T-shirts, fabric paint, and some green felt and you're good to go.

2. Damian from "Mean Girls."

All it takes is a blue hoodie and some black sunglasses to create this iconic character's look.

3. Life.

Take one of those white T-shirts you have stuffed in the back of your drawer and pick up a bag of lemons on your way out. Done and done.

4. Error message.

If you don't mind the eye-rolling and "Really?" looks you'll get all night, this "costume" might be the one for you. Just grab yourself a Sharpie and white T-shirt and you're efforts will be completed.

5. Rosie the Riveter

With some bold red lips, a red bandana and a jean shirt, you'll have yourself a cute and historical costume.

6. Plank from "Ed, Edd n Eddy."

Dig that box your (unused) desk came in our of the recycle and, with the help of a few Sharpies, you have a costume any young adult will get nostalgic over.

7. Jake from State Farm and Flo from Progressive.

Just take a quick trip to Walmart for a few basic clothing pieces and you and your significant other can be the ultimate power couple.

8. A ghost.

Going with the classic look can never be frowned upon! Cut some holes in your bed sheets (or grab some dark sunglasses) and you're good for the night.

9. Ceiling fan.

Get it? This oh-so clever costume can be accomplished with a cheap crew neck sweatshirt and some iron-on letters.

And, of course.....

10. Three hole-punch Jim

Easy and recognizable, this costume is guaranteed to get you a laugh.... you know, from anyone who gets it. Some black construction paper and standard work attire will do.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
