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?

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.

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.
