Okay, show of hands, who decided they were too old to dress up when they hit about 10 years old? No one? Just me? Oh, okay. Well, in any case, though we as young adults are well past the trick-or-treat age, that doesn't change the fact that Halloween is still a pretty prominent day in our society. So if you find yourself dragged to a party or roped into taking your little siblings out, here are a few easy, last minute costume ideas for you.

1. An assortment of fruit.

You and a couple friends looking to go out together? Grab a couple big T-shirts, fabric paint, and some green felt and you're good to go.

2. Damian from "Mean Girls."

All it takes is a blue hoodie and some black sunglasses to create this iconic character's look.

3. Life.

Take one of those white T-shirts you have stuffed in the back of your drawer and pick up a bag of lemons on your way out. Done and done.

4. Error message.

If you don't mind the eye-rolling and "Really?" looks you'll get all night, this "costume" might be the one for you. Just grab yourself a Sharpie and white T-shirt and you're efforts will be completed.

5. Rosie the Riveter

With some bold red lips, a red bandana and a jean shirt, you'll have yourself a cute and historical costume.

6. Plank from "Ed, Edd n Eddy."

Dig that box your (unused) desk came in our of the recycle and, with the help of a few Sharpies, you have a costume any young adult will get nostalgic over.

7. Jake from State Farm and Flo from Progressive.

Just take a quick trip to Walmart for a few basic clothing pieces and you and your significant other can be the ultimate power couple.

8. A ghost.

Going with the classic look can never be frowned upon! Cut some holes in your bed sheets (or grab some dark sunglasses) and you're good for the night.

9. Ceiling fan.

Get it? This oh-so clever costume can be accomplished with a cheap crew neck sweatshirt and some iron-on letters.

And, of course.....

10. Three hole-punch Jim

Easy and recognizable, this costume is guaranteed to get you a laugh.... you know, from anyone who gets it. Some black construction paper and standard work attire will do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
