10 Great Last Minute Halloween Costumes

Halloween is quickly approaching. Your friends keep discussing the costumes they are planning to wear for the big night(s) out (because let's face it you need a different outfit for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night). If you are anything like me, you have yet to put together ideas for costumes because you can barely decide on what to wear in the morning. Here are some great last-minute costume ideas for those of you who struggle like I do:

1. Sailor: Nearly everyone has a striped shirt, and if you don't, your roommate probably does. Pair that shirt with a navy skirt or some jeans and buy a hat the day of at a party store.

2. Cat: Black leggings, black shirt, paint on some whiskers with black eyeliner, and snag a pair of cat ears at the party store.


3. Rosie the Riveter: Take your jean shirt, or your boyfriend's. Find that bandana that has been sitting in the back of your closet since you went to summer camp. This costume is quick and easy. It is also a personal favorite.

4. Lumberjack: A nice big flannel and some jeans will do. You can toss a beanie on with this ensemble, as well. After that, you are good to go.

5. Devil: You can wear a red skirt or some pants with a white t-shirt. Then take that last-minute trip to the store for some horns!

6. Angel: You can wear a white dress if you have one sitting around or just wear all white. (Be wary of this because stains) and then snatch up a halo from the store.

7. "Flower Child": If you don't personally own a flower crown, you know at least one of your friends does. Add that with a flowy white top and maybe find a pair of bell-bottoms at Goodwill. If not those, wear a maxi skirt and you are set.

8. Minnie Mouse: This can be simplified by just wearing a black top and a red skirt or pants. Add a black dot on your nose and run to the store for some mouse ears!

9. A Hunter: Let;s be honest, you can find a large sum of people with camo clothing to borrow for a night, we go to CMU. Just add a little brown paint to your face and it's a simple costume if you are in a hurry.



10. Theme Party Leftovers: This is the wild card category. I know that you have at least one theme party outfit bunched up in the corner of your closet. This is your Hail Mary, very last minute idea. That toga you made two months ago? Bring it back out. That '80s outfit you bought from Goodwill? Use it again!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
