10 Easy Halloween Costumes
Woman's Day

With Halloween right around the corner, you might be wondering what costume you should wear. There are a million ideas in the world and you just can't seem pin it down to a single one. You might also be a broke college student with no money, or might not know where you could even buy a costume if Walmart is already sold out. If you're just a family who needs help or college student or adult with no idea what to do, here are ten easy, cheap, last minute costumes that you can put together.

1. Witch/Wizard

All you need to do is wear all black, grab a broom and a witch's hat, and you're basically set. Women - if you choose, you can add a cool tutu or striped socks. Men - you could probably add glasses and a beard.

2. Ghost

If you have a white sheet, you're set. Cut out eye holes and boom, you have your costume.

3. Chef

If you have an apron at home, this one will be easy. Grab some spoons or whisks, put them in your pockets, and maybe add a chef's hat.

4. Scarecrow

For this costume, all you need to wear is a flannel shirt, grab a straw hat, and add some simple make-up on your face.

5. Tourist

Grab a Hawaiian shirt, a camera, fanny pack, some knee high socks, and this look will be easy for you. You can also add a little extra pizzazz by adding sunscreen to your face.

6. Robber

Just like the witch or wizard, you need all black. For this costume, you add a black beanie or a mask and you'll be set.

7. Big Kid

For this costume, you'll need footie pajamas and a stuffed animal. You can find these at Walmart or any clothing store near you.

8. Three Hole Punch Jim

If you're like Jim from The Office, this costume will be perfect for you. All you need is black dress pants, a white shirt, and three black holes taped to your shirt. You can be "Three Hole Punch [insert name here]".

9. Athlete

This costume will be easy if you're athletic. You can wear althetic shorts, an athletic shirt or jersey, and carry around whatever sports equipment you have at home.

10. Cat

The ever popular cat. Again, all that is needed for this costume is all black, black cat ears, and simple cat makeup.


Have a happy Halloween!

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.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

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!
