Thankfully, Halloween is one of the only holidays that you can successfully procrastinate, as long as you can think of a costume. Here are a few last minute ideas for all of my fellow procrastinators.

1. "She Doesn't Even Go Here"


A blue hoodie, a pair of jeans, and a piece of paper. That's all.

2. Risky Business


The classic go-to Halloween costume, but undoubtedly the most comfortable. Borrow a men's dress shirt, find a pair of socks and sunglasses and you are ready to go!

3. Scarecrow

Pretty everyone has at least one flannel laying around, and if you don't, one of your friends does. Although the scarecrow costume would look best with a pair of overalls, you can always substitute them for a pair of jeans or denim shorts.

4. Rosie the Riveter

Feminists unite at least on Halloween! With this simple costume, all you need is a blue button up shirt, a pair of jeans and a bandana. Consider throwing your hair up in a bun and putting on red lipstick to complete the look.

5. Life... giving out lemons


When life gives you lemons... you make a Halloween costume. Write the word "LIFE" on a plain shirt and steal from lemons from your kitchen. Give them to anyone who asks what your costume is supposed to be.

6. Biker


A surprisingly easy look, most biker costumes only need a leather jacket and a pair of black or ripped jeans, or black ripped jeans. Wear darker eyeshadow and you could pass for being part of a biker gang.

7. Jake from State Farm


If you have a red polo and a pair of khakis, this costume is for you. This costume has not reached the point where it is painfully overdone, yet. Take advantage of the opportunity while you still have it.

8. Literally any animal with ears


Although animals may seem vastly overdone, it's not without good reason. The costume is super easy and allows for a ton of creative freedom. All you need is a pair of ears and the rest is up to you.

9. Wednesday Addams

By putting on a black dress and putting your hair in braids, you can become a part of everyone's favorite (or not) family.

10. Crazy Cat Lady


Roll out of bed and put on a robe, but a crazy cat lady never leaves her house without a cat!

11. 101 Dalmations


Use any kind of makeup or paint and put spots everywhere. Your face, your clothes, your hair, your arms, literally everywhere.

12. Men In Black


As long you got your suit and tie.... you can be a part of the Men and Black. Grab a couple of your favorite procrastinators and you can act as though you've all had this planned for a month.

13. Greek Goddess

Wrap yourself in a plain sheet and throw a couple flowers or a headband in your hair. While I don't know the steps to turn a sheet into a toga, I'm sure there are a million videos on YouTube telling you how to.

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.
