6 Incredibly Easy Halloween Costumes

Are you lazy but still excited about Halloween? Looking to enjoy this holiday on budget? These costumes are simple, pretty cheap and not too boring! Hopefully this short list of classic and less-classic looks will provide those feeling a little uninspired this year a push to try something anyway.

1. Ghost/Ghoul

You could do the classic sheet-with-holes look or spare your bedding and just wear drape-y clothes and strange, highly contrasting make up. Try a pearlescent eyeshadow on as much of your face as possible and then contour in black, giving yourself those gaunt cheeks and deep undereye circles you can only get naturally around finals week.

2. Werewolf

This one sounds harder than it is! All you need is some ears and fake fur, maybe fangs if you're really feeling it. Give yourself some fuzzy sideburns, tuck the fur into the collar and wrists of your shirt and stick some onto your eyebrows (carefully, with eyelash glue and avoiding the sensitive skin around your eyes). Snarl real hard and your friends will think they caught you mid-transformation! Bonus points if you can grow a wolfish beard to match this.

3. Vampire

This classic can be done as simply as just buying some fangs and that's it. You can level this up by wearing vampire-y stuff. Add some heavy eyeliner, blood and dark and broody outfits. Make it your own!

4. Angel/Fairy

Feeling cute? This one's for you. For the purposes of simple costume-making, a fairy can be defined as a colorful angel (please don't tell any otherworldy beings I said that). Wear something ethereal in a color you like, obtain some costume store wings, and then highlight your face like hell (heaven?). If you look up 'Fairy Make Up' online, you will find enough tutorials to fill a lifetime of Halloweens, so check out any of those techniques.

5. Your Mom

This costume is literally just so you can make this joke. The easy version: wear a name tag the just says Your Mom so when someone asks who you are you can say "YOUR MOM". The more elaborate version: think of a typical 'mom' outfit (feel free to look that up if you need inspiration), wear it. Maybe use the name tag for this one, too. The point is, just make this joke all night.

6. The Future

A personal favorite of mine, though I've never actually done this one. Wear all black and put a big question mark (in the color of your choice) on your shirt. When people ask about your costume, tell them you're ~tHe FuTuRe~ and cackle ominously. Be careful not terrifying anyone too much, contemplating the uncertainty of existence can make people a little uncomfortable.\

All of these looks can be done with as much or as little enthusiasm/money as you have lying around. If you're going for a more risqué vibe, just wear shorter, tighter clothes or cut suggestive slashes in clothing (please bring a coat, you might get chilly). May all your Halloweens be full of candy, good spooky fun and safety!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
