3 Last Minute DIY Halloween Costumes
Kaitlynn T. Liriano

Last night you had no plans for Halloween, but just this morning your friends made last minute plans and are obligating you to join the fun. The plans seem fun until you realize you have no costume and may not be in the best place financially to buy a brand new one. Do not fret! All you need is to turn your creativity on, perhaps invest a few dollars, and channel your inner DIY powers to create any one of these last minute looks.

1. Boo

This Boo costume is a very simple outfit to put together on such short notice. These are even items that you may already have at home and may not need to spend a dime on. The costume consists of a long watermelon-pink shirt, purple leggings, and white Converse to improvise for her white socks, though you may use any white footwear of your choosing. Complete the look by styling your hair in Boo’s signature two high ponytails and you’ll be ready to go.

2. Kim Possible

Kim Possible is a classic childhood Disney character that is almost impossible to hate. Just like the Boo costume, this idea consists of items that you may not even need to purchase because you can find them in your own closet. If you do not own cargos, any kind of olive green pants will make a good substitute and if you do not own all black Converse, any black shoes would also suffice. If you’re feeling a little extra, you can buy an orange wig or hair spray paint and put on a little bit of makeup to go with the look.

3. Animal Onesie

Maybe it happens to be a bit cold this Halloween where you reside and you truly do NOT want to dress up in a full costume. Sitting at home and watching Netflix in your favorite onesie may sound better than going out…but why not just wear your onesie? Your favorite animal or character onesie would make the perfect, quick, comfy, and warm costume to partake in whatever activity you have planned. The best part is that you can choose whatever shoes of your liking and kick them off as soon as you get home to go straight to bed.

Halloween does not have to be a pocket-emptying experience in order for you to have fun. Remember that some of the best costumes are self-made because of the personal touches made to them. Whatever you do this Halloween, remember to have fun and be safe!

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.

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.
