Whether you're just in it for the buckets of candy at the end of the night, or for the love of gory scary horror films, Halloween is a holiday celebrated by all. Here is just a few fun costume ideas that won't break the bank! (Because, we all know there are more important things to spend our money on for Halloween, like Taco Bell at 2 a.m. after being out all night long.)

1. Grease's "Sandra D"

All you need to make this costume a hit is some killer heels, bright red lipstick, and a sweet leather jacket. The hunk of a guy is optional.

2. Come on Barbie. Let's go Party!

This costume requires a bit more investment, but is super easy! A cardboard box, paint, and a few other essentials are all that is needed to make this ensemble a hit for any party.

3. Audrey Hepburn

Every girl has these classy pieces in their closet! Show off your little black dress and be the life of the party.

4. A Halloween Classic: A Scarecrow

The key to pulling off this look is all in the makeup. Practice makes perfect, and it can be as simple or as elaborate as you want. Throw on some boots and distressed jeans, and your look is complete.

5. Rosie the Riveter

A red bandana is a must to make this outfit work, along with red lips, and a button down shirt. The sign is a nice touch and will be a hit at any event.

Halloween is such a fun holiday filled with lots of elaborate costumes and outfits. Don't let your ideas make you go bankrupt, and enjoy your plans with a fun costume everyone will love!

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. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
