9 DIY Halloween Costume Ideas You Must Try
E News

Now that Halloween is here, most of us are stoked to show off our costumes. But if you're anything like me, you procrastinated until the very last second to find a costume. Others, the other hand, still don't have one. If you are one of those people, have no fear. Here are 10 fun ideas for super easy, DIY costumes.

1. Deviled Eggs

To fry this costume up fast, all you need is a devil headband from when you were a devil for Halloween (who wasn't?) and a solid white shirt. Cut out a piece of yellow construction paper and you're well done.

2. Cereal Killer

For this costume, just cut up cereal boxes and smear strawberry syrup on a fake knife. You'll hear a "snap, crackle, pop" in no time.

3. Mac N Cheese

As cheesy as this costume sounds, it's fairly simple. Paint some toilet paper rolls yellow and cover a laundry basket with poster board.


4. Donald Trump

If you want to "Make America Great Again", put on a blazer over a shirt and tie, and apply orange-tinted foundation.


5. Big Kid

A lazy person's dream. Roll out of bed in your pajamas, put your hair in pigtails, put on your fuzzy slippers, and grab your teddy bear.

6.Mummy

Dress in all white, wrap toilet paper around yourself, and add ketchup or red food coloring. Bonus points if you can remain silent.


7. Orbit Girl

Wear an all-white suit, tie a blue ribbon around your neck, and attach an Orbit logo to your shirt.


8. Ghost

An oldie but goodie, all you need is a white sheet. Cut out holes for your eyes and mouth. Take it to the next level by applying blush and lipstick to the sheet.

9. Error Code

If you're still having problems figuring out what you want to be, just write "Error 404-Costume Not Found" on a white t-shirt.

I hope these suggestions help, though worst-case-scenario, you can scare everyone by just being yourself. Anything you do will be spooktacular. Have a happy and safe Halloween, everyone!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
