Halloween is only a few days away and if you're like me you've probably procrastinated coming up with an awesome costume for your Halloween escapades. Whether you're heading to a costume party, treat or treating, or bar-hopping you don't want to show up without a costume. In order to help my fellow masters of procrastination I've compiled a list of D.I.Y. last minute Halloween costumes.

1. Burglar(s)

For this D.I.Y. all you need is a black and white stripped shirt, some black slacks, a mask and-of course- your bag of "stolen" cash!

2. Rosie the Riveter

This is another quick and easy last minute costume. All that this requires is a red bandanna, and a collared jean shirt. For added effect you could add a sign with the well known phrase "We Can Do It!"

3. "Nudist Strike"

While this is a more "punny" costume it is extremely easy to make. All you need is a sign that reads "Nudist Strike" no other materials required just wear the sign over your clothes!

4. "Identity Theft"

While I've seen this one a lot it's still a pretty creative and easy costume idea. All you need is an abundance of the "Hello My Name is:" stickers. Once you have the stickers write as many different names as you can think of on them and then stick them all over you!


5. "Low Budget Man"

To be honest this is one of my favorites. All you need for this DIY is a trash bag and some duck tape. Don the trash bag as a cape and in duck tape spell out low budget man. You are now a superhero off to save the world, but on a budget.

6. "50 Shades of Grey"

Once again super easy costume especially if you're short on time. For this costume all you need is fifty grey paint swatches, then just glue them to your shirt and you are now "50 Shades of Grey"!


7. Nickel back

For this next costume all you'll need is some nickels! Hot glue the nickels to your shirt and you've transformed into "Nickelback"

8. "The black Eyed Peas"

This is a costume geared towards couples or if you have a friend to pair up with. To become the Black Eyed Peas is a shirt with the letter P on it and a black eye, just use some black eye shadow or costume makeup.

9. Ghost

This costume is a classic. All you need is a white sheet and a pair of scissors. Drape the sheet over yourself and cut some eye holes out so you can see where you're going while you're trick or treating.

10."Fantasy Football"

This is another "punny" costume idea. What you'll need: a football, a witch/wizard hat, which/wizard robes and a wand. The magical aspects will create the fantasy while the football creates the look.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
