I can’t be the only person that was so stressed out about midterms that they didn’t prepare for Halloween, right? Well, if you are like me, or are just super lazy (also like me), you are totally unprepared for Halloweekend. Yeah, Halloweekend, three nights means three costumes. It’s the unwritten rule of Halloweekend. Instead of driving to Party City and spending way too much money for a tutu or a set of cat ears, just DIY it and dig through your closet.

1. Basic White Girl.

Totes gonna get all dressed up in a pair of leggings, my fave Uggs and my cute new crop top! Full hair and makeup are a must have, and you cannot forget the selfie stick and a Starbucks cup!

2. Frat Boy

Like the basic girls' male counterpart. Instead of Uggs, get a pair of Sperry's and swap out the leggings for salmon shorts. Pick up a nice button down shirt or Polo, and a backwards baseball cap to complete the look. For all Instagram pictures, you must squat and point at the camera.

3. Rutgers Fan

Have you ever been to a Rutgers football game? If you have, then you can be a crazy Rutgers fan for Halloween. If needed, make a quick trip to the store to buy red face paint and cover your entire face in it.

(This will work for any other school/sports team.)

4. Gym Rat

All you need for this costume is a pair of athletic shorts and a tank top. Ladies (and men, I won’t judge), sports bras just add to the look, and are honestly way more comfortable than a regular bra. Carry around a giant water bottle and yell “DO YOU EVEN LIFT BRO?” every five seconds to complete the look.

5. Taylor Swift

This one is inspired by my Roommate, who literally looks like Taylor Swift every day. This one is pretty simple. Look through your closet and find anything similar to what Taylor Swift wears. For a more modern Taylor, stick to clean edges, and black and white with pops of color. For a vintage “Our Song” Taylor Swift, a dress and cowboy boots are key. Red lipstick is needed, blonde wigs are not.

6. Catholic School Girl

Any girl that has ACTUALLY gone to catholic school has had this outfit in her closet for the past four or more years. A white button up, plaid kilt and knee highs is all that is required for this look. If you don’t have a kilt or knee highs, you can easily go from Catholic school girl to…..

7. Waitress

I know it's not the most conventional or cute costume, but hey, if you can’t figure out anything else! All you need is a white button up and a black skirt (or pants), and a name tag. I highly recommend carrying food around at parties (mainly because I’m always hungry).

8. AHS coven

This is one of the easiest looks to make last minute. The outfit is a black dress and a black hat (the floppier the better). Honestly, as long as you wear black you’re set. Dark smokey makeup is a nice compliment to the outfit.

9. Wednesday Addams

Following the AHS coven look is the classic goth girl, Wednesday Addams. A black dress, or top and skirt (similar to #7) with a white collared shirt underneath is all the costume requires. Hair should be worn in two braids parted in the middle with the same smoky makeup as before. Please don’t smile, Wednesday doesn’t smile.

10. Hipster

This one is super simple. All you need to be a hipster is a flannel, beanie, skinny jeans and combat boots. Hair and makeup doesn’t matter, you can honestly roll out of bed, put on a beanie and you’re set. Wide brim glasses and pretentious attitude compliment the look. Spend the night talking about this new band that probably no one else has heard of, and the artisan beer at your apartment is much better than whatever is in the keg. You are so over this frat party.

11. Midterms week

It’s been a rough couple of weeks with midterms happening. So if you’re planning on working hard and playing harder, go right from the library to the parties. Wear whatever you’ve been wearing to the library for the past three weeks. Accompany the look by getting drunk and crying about how you’re going to fail all your exams.

12. Trash

Be the trashiest person in the room this Halloween! All you need to do is cut arm and leg holes into a trash bag and you’re good. The brand doesn’t matter but you may want to stick with the large kitchen bags, to prevent wear and tear. Scented bags are also nice, those frat houses can get stinky.

13. Surfer boy/beach babe

Wear this costume ONLY if you want to be freezing on Halloween. This costume is for the bravest of the lazy people. Spray on some sun-in and a fake tan, and put on a bathing suit and the outfit is good to go.

14. Pajamas

I would not judge anyone who went out on Halloween wearing a pair of cute pajamas. Honestly, I would be jealous of them because they just need can just crawl right into bed when they get home instead of having to wear an uncomfortable costume all night and having to change when they got home. Bonus points if you wear a onesie.

15. Tourist

Wear any shirt (preferably a Hawaiian one) that you have ever bought as a souvenir, as well as shorts and comfortable walking shoes. Top the look off with a baseball cap or bucket hat, and sunglasses. Spend the entire night taking pictures of all the new and exciting things you’re seeing on your adventures. Must take at least one picture while using a selfie stick. Bonus points for a fanny pack.

16. Whatever you wore for Halloween last year

If all else fails, dig through your closet and find whatever you wore for Halloween last year. No one is going to remember or care what you wore last Halloween. Save this as a last resort.
