Last Minute Halloween Costumes

Every year for Halloween across the country people spend months preparing for the chance to dress up and outshine their friend. Coincidentally, every year people tend to forget about costumes until laste minute. So for everyone out there who is in the second boat, here are some last minute Halloween costumes you can do from your closet or mostly from your closet, with a small cost for parts.

1. Greaser

Danny Zuko’s signature look is not that hard to pull off. Get some black jeans (or leggings!) and a leather jacket. Pop on some shades and flex a little bit.

2. Country Girl

Grab that flannel and braid your hair back. If you have a hat that you think adds to the effect, or a pair of cowboy boots you never get to wear, throw those in as well.

3. Sadness from Inside Out

This look can be easily completed with a pair of blue jeans, a white sweater and big glasses. If you want to paint your face blue or get a wig, you can, or you can just explain yourself all night.

4. 80’s Lady

I’m sure that your parents have something they’ll be willing to let you borrow for the weekend. They have to admit the old pantsuit they’re keeping isn’t coming back into fashion anytime soon (sorry Hillary).

5. Athlete

If you played a sport in high school this one is easy. You grab one of your old jerseys, put it on and talk about your stats all night.

6. Frat Boy

If you have a male friend who is approximately the same size as you (at least enough that his shorts won’t be falling off of you all night) borrow some cargo shorts and a button up shirt. Or, you can buy all of your own frat gear, which could be cute with some changes. Add a backwards baseball cap if you’re feeling it.

7. Dancing Girl Emojis

Grab a friend who is also cheap and bad at planning, coordinate this one together. Get a pair of black shorts and a back v-neck each, optional headband with two black ears (maybe they’re ears? Apple can’t decide). This is easiest if you and your friend are both blond, but not necessary.

8. Rosie the Riveter

Want to look cute and be empowering? Rosie is here for you. Grab a pair of blue jeans, a jean shirt and a red bandanna. Believe in yourself and you’ve got the look down. Awaken your inner Leslie Knope and let’s see you out flex the greaser in the corner.

9. Cat

Of course, the cat had to make it onto this list. The original poor planner costume of all black with cat ears from Dollar General. Draw those whiskers on with your eye liner. Own it.

10. Duck Dynasty

Grab a t-shirt, a pair of jeans, a bandanna and some sunglasses. Feel free to add a camo accent to any of the previously listed. Then, get yourself a bundle of yarn and craft yourself a magnificent beard.

11. Risky Business

Pretty much the same deal as the frat boy, but forgo the pants. Imitate Tom Hanks by sliding into every room in your white button up shirt and socks, singing your heart out. Isn’t that what Halloween is all about?

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.

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.
