Halloween Costumes On A Budget

Halloween is creeping around the corner. I always struggle trying to find the perfect costumes, but most importantly, costumes that I can afford. As a college student, my money is pretty tight, but everyone knows that Halloween is a much bigger deal in college. Everyone is waiting for that bomb Instagram post. So here is a guide I made for you so you can have an easy time and cheap costume for Halloween this year!

In This Article:

Scooby Doo

This costume is really simple, but a classic! I looked up what the cast wore and got the same colored clothing as the characters.

Toga

Go to Walmart, get you some fabric, and tie up a toga! So easy and so cheap.

NASCAR

NASCAR was bid day theme this year and I had so much fun dressing up. There are so many accessories to wear and it turned out to be very easy to find checkered print clothing online.

Cheerleaders

Borrow a friend's uniform and BOOM, that's it!

Jerseys and Refs

Someone is bound to have a jersey in their swap box and all you have to do to be a ref is find a white and black stripped shirt.

Military 

If you are in Starkville, there is a Military Pawn Shop on Highway 12!

The Purge 

This is hands down my favorite costume I've ever worn! We had a blast scaring everybody.

Jersey Shore

Everyone has either seen Jersey Shore or has heard of Snooki. The cheetah and big hair is ICONIC!

Kentucky Derby 

All you need is a dress and a hat!

angels 

To be an angel on a budget, wear white and buy some wings.

Hope I gave you inspiration for this Halloween season!

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.
