8 Easy, Last-Minute Halloween Costumes
Urban Matter

Halloween season is fast approaching, and I know that everyone wants to have themselves and their outfit looking the best. You want to look good, but you feel like everything is already overdone from Catholic school girls to frat boys or aliens.

What is there left to be?

It's hard in college when most people need to have two to three costumes planned for a huge event known as Halloweekend. It’s the time of year when you can wear absolutely anything in the world and no one can say anything about it.

It should be a fun and not stressful time, which is why I comprised a list of easy, but cute costume ideas to guarantee a spooky, spunky and totally post-able Halloween Instagram picture.

1. Disney Princess


You can just take the colors of any princess and put it together. If you want to be Snow White, you can just take an apple with you while wearing blue, yellow and red, and the rest will be obvious.

2. Greek Goddess

You can wear white with hints of gold to perfect the costume. Bonus point for having a real or fake tan glow.

3. Athlete

It is a super easy last-minute costume; just take one of your jerseys or borrow one from a friend to show what a huge supporter you are.

4. Spider

You can easily recreate the look by wearing all black clothing, possibly with webbed tights and to finish it off, just have a spider web drawn on your face.

5. Pumpkin

Again, just wear orange with a hint of black. Hey, I did it in the seventh grade, and it worked just fine.

6. Winnie the Pooh and/or Piglet

No one could ever forget these memorable childhood figures. You can wear just a oversized red T-shirt for Winnie or a little pink dress for Piglet.

7. Thing 1

Simple, easy and to the point.

8. The "Costume" Costume

For those super last-minute people (it is OK, we have all been there), you can simply write “Costume” on any plain shirt you have and go out for some fun. At least you kind of tried, right?

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.
