Are you a college student in desperate need of a Halloween costume but are too broke to go out and buy a costume? Then this is the list for you. These are things found straight from your closet and they're easy to put together.

1) Rosie The Riveter

All you need is white shoes, jeans, a red bandana, and a blue/ jean shirt. Plus the make up and hair is easy too. For your makeup, it should be very natural with a touch of red lipstick. And hair should be pulled back in a bun with a bump in the front and the bandana tied around your head.

2) Eleven from Stranger Things

Now if you don't know who this is then you need to go to Netflix and watch it right now. But this costume is super easy. All you need is a pink dress, a white collar, some high knee socks, white hightops, a blue coat, and maybe some fake blood. For makeup you could darken under your eyes and put some blood dripping from your nose and/or ears. Your hair is easy, either get a blonde wig or pull your hair back in a low ponytail and hid it in your coat so you look bald.

3) Cat

Now this is the easiest of them all in my opinion. All you need is a black shirt, black pants, black shoes, and cat ears. For your makeup all you'll need is whiskers, a nose, and cat eye eyeliner. The easiest part is that you can do whatever with your hair!

4) Cowgirl

All you need is a flannel, jeans, a hat (optional), and cowboy boots or boots that can pass as cowboy boots. Your make up you can do natural or you can add some freckles. You can leave your hair down or put your hair in pigtail braids.

5) 90's Grunge


We all know this style and I'm sure we all have this in the closet. All you need is a flannel, jean shorts or leather skirt, black tights, a plain shirt, a jacket (optional), boots, and a choker. Now there are so many hairstyles. You could do space buns, just down and straight or really curly, pigtail buns, any 90's hairstyle. Makeup can be as smudgy as you want on the eyes and a dark lip. Don't forget the eyeliner! That's the most important.

6) Wednesday Adams

Now we all know The Adams Family and Wednesday. All you need is black, black and more black. Black dress with a collar, black tights, and black flats. Your makeup should be pale and almost no color in the face or lips. For your hair, just put it in two braided pigtails, the part straight down the middle.


Now if you can't make any of these costumes from your closet than just dress up in normal clothes and call yourself a student. It may not be a great costume but that's all you have. I know I'm awful with procrastinating with costumes so I go to these things all the time. They're cheap too! So look through your closet and get cracking!

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.
