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.

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.
