Top Last Minute Halloween Costumes

Halloween is fast approaching and what’s Halloween without a costume? If you’re like me, you procrastinate a lot and picking a Halloween costume is no exception. Here are some of the top last minute Halloween costume ideas that can be made using things you likely already have or can get fairly quickly at a relatively low cost.

  1. The solar system-- With plenty of solar-system themed clothing pieces out there, being the solar system would involve taking a trip to your local store and picking up some solar system themed gear. Planets can also be made using styrofoam balls. You can dye these balls different colors using food coloring and then glue them to your shirt to transform into the solar system.
  2. Mickey or Minnie Mouse-- For Mickey, find some red pants and a black shirt. Then, you can make the mouse ears yourself using black felt or can buy them at any costume store. For Minnie, grab a red skirt and a black shirt out of your closet, and either buy or make the ears.
  3. Dancing girl emoji-- Can you think of anything more fun than dressing up as your favorite emoji? Certain emojis, like the dancing girl, can be made using black shorts and a black shirt that you probably already have. The black ears can be made using black cardstock and felt attached to a headband.
  4. Onesie costumes-- If you live near a Walmart or Target, you make a quick run and find numerous onesies. The onesie opportunities are endless-- from Minions to Winnie the Pooh, and everything in between-- and you are guaranteed to be comfortable the whole time you are wearing one.
  5. Instagram photo-- If you find yourself scrambling for a costume on the day of trick or treating or that Halloween party, you can always use this quick and easy instragm cutout (http://www.thirtyhandmadedays.com/teen-adult-hallo...) and attach it to a posterboard.
  6. Duck Dynasty-- Why not dress as someone in your favorite reality TV show? No, you don’t need to able to grow a long beard to be someone from Duck Dynasty! Grab some sunglasses, a camo bandana, and put some yarn in your mouth that will hang down all around your face.
  7. Where’s Waldo-- The character children have been loving to look for for years is very easy to dress up as. Grab a red and white striped shirt, some jeans, black shoes, and some black circular glasses and be prepared to receive many compliments about your costume.
  8. iPhone-- Let’s face it: most of us are addicted to our iPhones. Take a screenshot of your iPhone home screen the next time you’re on it (which is, like, all the time) and then send it to yourself so you can print it. Then attach this picture to the front of a cut cardboard box that you can put around your body. On the back , you can color the box using a black sharpie, leaving a little hole for the camera and the Apple logo.
  9. Error 404… Costume not found-- Are you totally over costumes this year? Make a statement by writing the error message that appears online when a server is down, expect this time say “costume not found.”
  10. Ghost-- If you aren’t afraid of being cliché, grab a white sheet, cut some holes in at, and put it over your head for an instant costume.
  11. Tourists-- Grab that Hawaiian shirt you never use and pair it with an old camera, sunglasses, and a fanny pack to turn into an instant tourist.
  12. Candy “Rapper”-- This punny costume involves taping candy on clothes and sunglasses that rappers might wear (sunglasses, loose pants, and white shirts).
  13. Hippie-- Grab some round sunglasses (think John Lennon) and a tie dye shirt and you’re all set!
  14. For girls: Miranda Sings-- Who would not love to dress up as Miranda?! Put on some red lipstick that almost goes up to your nose, grab a pair of red pants and a classic blue striped shirt, and be prepared to make some weird facial expressions. Extra points if you try to sing or talk like her.

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.
