M&M

Last year my friends and I put on different colored plain t-shirts. Then we cut out the letter "M" out from a piece of paper and taped it to our shirts. It may not be high quality, but it does the trick! Dress up with you friends as M&M's this year! It's a great last minute costume and you don't need to buy anything for it! If you have more time, you can always a fun tulle skirt with some knee high socks.

Where's Waldo?

We all remember the children's book! Dress up as Waldo this year. If you don't have a red and white striped shirt already go buy one and a hat to match it. Put on some glasses and you're Waldo! This is another affordable and easy costume idea for this Halloween!

Pumpkin Pi

If you're anything like the rest of American society, you have an incurable coffee addiction. Represent your favorite coffee shop this year by dressing up as a coffee cup! There are multiple ways to dress up as a coffee cup and some are definitely easier than others. The easiest costume, is wearing an oversize brown t-shirt with black leggings. Buy a white boa from the Dollar Tree. If you'd like to add a straw to your costume, you can get some green paper and roll it into a tube. Then tape or glue the rolled green paper to a headband. Lastly, print out your favorite coffee shop's logo and tape it to your shirt. After that, you have your coffee cup costume!

If you really want to spice up the costume you can wear a cute little bow tie and some round black glasses. It's a witty costume and easy to make.

As Halloween approaches, sometimes it's hard to come up with a creative costume with a low budget. These ideas are fun, easy, and budget friendly! So have fun during the Halloween season with your friends. You probably won't win best costume, but you could win most creative! Enjoy the pumpkin spice lattes and sweater weather while it lasts!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
