So, you are reading this because you either need a costume for Halloween or a convention. And, obviously you waited until last minute. It's okay, don't freak out. Breathe in and out. I have 6 suggestions to help you cleverly come up with a easy costume for your upcoming event.

1) Any cast member of Bob's Burgers.

They all wear basic clothing, you would really only have to worry about certain accessories for some of them like glasses or Louise's amazing hat. You can find most of these items at stores, though. And, you may even have some of the clothing items already.

2) Any cast member of Adventure Time

So many of the characters in Adventure Time have costumes based in regular clothing. Well...the main characters anyway. Raid your closets friends! I'm willing to bet most of you have a blue t-shirt. If your favorite character is something a little more intricate like LSP try finding a purple dress and wig. Draw a pretty star on your forehead and slay like she would.

3) Mario and Luigi

Guys, really, all you need are some overalls and a red or green long sleeved shirt. You can buy the Mario and Luigi hats on for a fair price. If you're more crafty you can buy a hat and make the M or L out of white craft foam. Super easy and fun.

4) Resident Evil Characters

I realize that some characters are harder than others. Nemesis would be crazy hard, but Jill, Claire, Leon, and most of the main characters have clothing that's easy to piece together. Hit up amazon or an army surplus store for tactical gear. If you have a few days before your event I made tutorials on how to make a Claire Redfield cosplay.

5) The Queen of Halloween - Wednesday Addams

If you have a dress with a peter pan collar you're set. If you have long black hair, you're even more set. To make this even more simple most stores sell peter pan collar necklaces for under $15. If you already have a black or dark colored dress you're all set. This is easily one of the cheapest and most recognizable costumes you could do.

6) Homicidal Maniac

Maybe you just weren't digging any of my ideas, or maybe you just don't have time. You could always quote Wednesday Addams. She speaks the truth. You could also check out Rachel Zimmaro's 11 Last-Minute Halloween Costumes for more ideas.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
