Halloween is around the corner and you don't have a costume. You live in at a place called college where you probably only have part of your regular wardrobe. Also, you probably have little to no money to spend on a frivolity like a costume. What's a girl to do?

2. Medieval Princess

add a solid colored dress + some sort of head covering (pillowcase might work) + leather shoes

add military-style jacket + form-fitting pants + yelling a resounding "Charge!" at random intervals throughout the night

4. Jockey

add patterned button up shirt + form-fitting pants

5. Cowgirl

add flannel + jeans + say "Yeehaw" constantly

Do you have school spirit gear?

5. Prospective student

preppy clothes + a t-shirt from your school + a brochure (or 10!) + annoyingly excited attitude—"Well, I'm applying Early Decision because of the world-class faculty, small class sizes and picturesque campus of course".

6. Alum

Mom jeans a t-shirt from your school + dramatic sighs "Ah, I have such fond memories of my alma mater."

Do you have workout gear?

7. Yoga teacher

Yoga gear + form-fitting sweatpants + Cheerily suggesting meditation whenever anyone within 10 feet complains about anything

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.

Like I said, it's a big hassle.
