We've all been there. All of our friends have already ordered or found their Halloween costumes. They are all ready to hit the town on the spookiest day of the year. And there you are. With no clue what to wear and on a college budget. No need to fear. Here are some easy and cheap costume ideas that aren't too boring and can always be flared up with a little extra thought. Happy haunting, friends!

Georgie from "It"

Warner Bros. Pictures

All you need is a yellow rain jacket and a red balloon. Literally. If you want to get super crazy, you could throw in this easy-to-make boat.

Black leggings: Check. Black T-shirt: Check. Black shoes: Check. Now head out to get a headband and hand-make some ears and paint on some whiskers. Easy peasy.

All you need is a flannel, a pair of jeans or overalls, and some pigtails and makeup. Super cute and fun and very very easy.

Something punny!

One of my favorites is the "breadwinner." All you need is a gold medal and a loaf of bread. Now, lets get this bread.

A festive fruit

All you need is a big T-shirt and something to make the hair accessories with. This costume is cheap and you and your bestie can be festive together!

"Risky Business"

Warner Bros. Pictures

Borrow an oversized button-up from a friend and maybe bust out a pair of boxers. Then, last but not least, the socks that are all slippery so you can make your iconic entrance.

The hardest thing to obtain about this outfit is the iconic hat. But a lil extra effort is worth it because, come on... who doesn't love Indiana Jones?

What I say: mummy

What I mean: just go HAM with toilet paper.

A white sheet and scissors and your loudest, scariest "boo" should suffice.

As some of you may know, I may be slightly bias towards these two. With a pal, or even by yourself, you can rock this outfit. Green/brown pants and a black turtleneck will never be more stylish or iconic.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
