7 Last Minute Halloween Costumes

Halloween is fast approaching, and for those of you who are procrastinators, that thought is terrifying. College is essentially four days of Halloween, so here are some last minute costumes that you can make yourself.

1. Cat Burglar

Are you looking for something that's only one step above absolutely basic? Have I got the costume for you. Take out those dusty cat ears, and get yourself a sack full of something. Wear all black, and you're done. No one can criticize you now.

2. Hamburglar

Even better than the cat burglar. Maybe the sexiest Halloween costume of all, the Hamburglar. All you need is to walk around wearing a mask and holding a hamburger (it doesn't have to be McDonalds). Show everyone what a great sense of humor you have, and how you can produce food really quickly.

3. Tina Belcher

There are two benefits to this. One, it's a very sexy costume, and two, you can spend the entire night making weird moans at people. All you need for this is a pair of sneaker, a blue skirt, a blue shirt, a barrette, and a weird obsession with horses. This is truly a costume for a social butterfly.

4. Social Butterfly

Starting to veer into cliches, but you can definitely pull it off. All you need is a pair of butterfly wings, some social media logos, and the patience to explain what you are throughout the entire night. You're probably going to bump into a bunch of things/people, but they'll be some great pictures, so it'll be worth it.

5. Three Hole Punch Jim


Hit em one more time with this amazing throwback. No matter how hard your night gets, just remember, if Britney can survive 2007, you can wear high heels for the entire night. Including the walk home. C'non. All you need is a white button up, a skirt, and a scandalous cardigan.

7. Netflix (And Chill)

You will need a friend/boyfriend/girlfriend to pull this one off. I don't know what kind of person you are. All you need is a red shirt, a blue shirt, and a white marker. Whoever has the least amount of chill is going to have to be Netflix. Or you could go the ironic route. Again, I don't know what kind of person you are.


Tell yourself that next year, you're definitely going to know what kind of costume you're wearing with plenty of time to despair. You might even spring for a store bought one (fancy!) But for now, enjoy one of these painfully easy, do it yourself costumes. Happy Halloween!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
