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.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
