Finding Your Halloween Quick Fix

Halloween is coming fast, and it's exciting news for most if it wasn't for one thing; money. The question most college students ask themselves is: what am I going to be? How the heck am I going to pay for it?!

As a fellow broke college student, I’ve dealt with the same problem. As I like to say, desperate times lead to creative measures. Here are a few ideas for any guys and gals that only have time for last minute shopping in their closet.

First we will start with the women…

1. Tina and Louise from "Bob's Burgers"

These two are fairly easy. For Tina all you need is a light blue shirt, blue skirt, long white socks, black high-top Converses, glasses and a yellow hair clip. For Louise you need a huge green shirt, black shoes and a pink hat with bunny ears.

2. Holly Golightly

This classic lady is perfect to quickly put together. For Holly all you need is a little black dress, black gloves, black kitten heels, diamond earrings, a tiara, a pearl statement necklace and a cigarette holder.

Here are some ideas for the men…

1. It’s Jake, From State Farm

Go around and give people insurance as Jake from State Farm! For Jake, grab a pair of khakis, a red polo shirt and make a name tag that says Jake!

2. Brawny Paper Towel Man

Become the Brawny man and wear some blue jeans with a belt, boots and a plaid shirt. A nice touch is carrying around a pack of the paper towel too.

Or maybe for any gender…

1. Damian from "Mean Girls"

This hilarious character is perfect for anyone to dress up as. To be Damian, wear a blue hoodie tied up around your head with black glasses and pin a sign that says his classic line onto your chest!

Sometimes the whole squad might decide they want to dress up together.

1. Social Media

Become the social media you love and hate! Either grab a shirt in the color of the website you pick, and paint its logo on it or grab a piece of cardboard and paint the logo on it to wear around your neck with a black or white shirt under. Both ideas works with any color pants you want to throw on.

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.
