5 Easy Last-Minute Halloween Costumes

Scrambling for a last-minute Halloween costume, or just know that you're not going to have any time for a crazy one? Here are thrift-friendly ideas for guys, gals, and dogs alike!

1. A "Droog" from A Clockwork Orange


Predictable? Maybe. Cheap and easy? You bet! This costume requires nothing more than white pants, a white top, and some funky bottom eyelashes–and only on one eye! Spend the Halloween party getting into character by waltzing around from room to room with a look on your face that says, "I'm trying to scare you because I'm youthful and better than you." To take it up a notch, add a cane, a top hat, or a glass of milk.

2. Life

Some will laugh, some will cry, and others will just roll their eyes at your attempt at a punny costume. Yes, dressing up in a white t-shirt that has "life" written on it and handing lemons out to other party guests is a bit stale, but hey, you don't care! You're just looking for an easy way to dress up so people won't think you're a party pooper.

3. Skeleton

While this costume requires basically no purchases in the costume department–a black shirt and pants duo–it might require a keen hand in the makeup department. If you acquire such talent to contour your face into a skeleton, then congratulations, you have a costume! If not, then phone a friend. If neither options are possible for you, then please refer to options 1, 2, 4, or 5.

4. Scarecrow

Possibly one of the easiest costumes thus far. A scarecrow requires nothing more than a flannel and some scarecrow makeup, which can be done with just black eyeliner. Add in a straw hat and some actual straw to get a more realistic look. Grab a crow if you're feeling frisky!

5. A Pile of Garbage

Well, I was wrong–this is probably the easiest costume to concoct. Dress how you want, do your makeup how you wish–just be sure to tape some garbage to yourself! You can even be your own garbage rendition, such as a garbage princess, or zombie garbage! You'll be the talk–and smell–of the party!

Happy (almost) Halloween!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
