With Halloween rapidly approaching, it is time for all you last-minute costume pickers to draw inspiration and start to construct your costumes. What fun is dressing up if you have no one to participate in the madness with you? Secondly, all of us Halloween buffs are well aware of how expensive a good Halloween costume can get, which is part of the reason that DIY has been taking the world by storm. For anybody panicking for costume ideas, look no further than your very own living room. Television provides a plethora of inspiration for DIY costume ideas; for those dedicated groups of friends looking to participate in a group costume, here are some easy DIY group costumes with something for every group of friends:

1) The Walking Dead

A famous and recognizable cast that is super easy to portray are the characters of AMC's The Walking Dead (TWD). The easy everyday attire of this mid-west crew is super easy to throw together and the abundance of characters assures a costume choice for every participant. It even provides an opportunity to get really twisted if one wishes, after all, the show is about zombies.

2) Despicable Me

Another highly recognizable cast of characters that can be easily portrayed through DIY methods are the characters of the 2010 film Despicable Me. Chock full of characters, this cast provides a costume opportunity for a whole family, or just a group of friends. It is also a great chance for a large group, since there are several human characters in the film, as well as endless numbers of "minions."

3) Orange is the New Black

The characters of the hit Netflix series Orange is the New Black (OINTB) provides a perfect opportunity for an exceptionally large group wishing to participate in the costume, since there are so many characters in OINTB. It's also a great choice for a group of people with varying levels of commitment; some characters of OINTB are covered in gnarly tattoos and have crazy haircuts, others are completely normal looking (aside from the prison garb).

4) Bridesmaids

Essentially, all the costume is is a cocktail dress, which can be reused multiple times. Another fantastic plus about this getup is the fact that the characters in this films are the definition of a hot mess, so when you get falling-down-drunk, you can just blame it on the costume!

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.

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.
