10 Last Minute Halloween Costumes
Plus Quotes

Halloween is just around the corner! So if you haven't picked a costume yet, you're probably freaking out right about now. Well, don't panic! I have some great suggestions for quick, easy last-minute costumes that will have your friends saying: "What?"

1. Sexy Newt

This is, unfortunately, the only sfw rendition I could find, but picture this as your Halloween costume. Great, right?!

2. A Pile of Grass Clippings

What says Halloween better than a classic clump of dead grass? And what an easy last-minute costume to make! Just find your local gardener and make him help glue some leftover clippings to your body. If the gardener does not comply, get your friend Tony to come talk to him. He knows some people. Easy as can be!

3. Our 12th President Zachary Taylor

Although Taylor is one of the least remembered presidents, you'll be keeping with the hip new trend of bringing dead politicians into pop culture. Maybe Lin Manuel Miranda will turn this one into a musical too--starring you in a white collared shirt looking vaguely uneasy into camera. (Maybe people would remember him if he just smiled a little more, am I right ladies?)

4. A Mole

It's your choice: either a mole a la Cindy Crawford, or the animal that looks like a bear who recently got french tips. Either way, your friends will absolutely love your creativity!

5. An Exact Replica of a Human Lung But 3.4 Times Bigger

You'll impress all your friends by showing off your science skills. All you have to do is apply to be a medical student, get accepted into a good program (maybe not your first, but, hey, it's still decent), study the human lung for years, copy its dimensions (times 3.4) exactly into a 3D printer, and--voila!--you have a perfect last minute costume.

6. Sea Cucumber

All you need for this costume is some tube feet, a nice hat, and a fish to live in your butt! That's almost too easy.

7. A Bean Burrito

This one's quick and easy: find a giant tortilla and wrap yourself up in it. Inside the tortilla, pour a lukewarm can of beans you found lying around in your kitchen and maybe some old lettuce in the back of the fridge. Top it all off with some chunky salsa and you've got yourself a costume my friend!

8. A Yellow Starburst

Poor, neglected yellow starburst. Always uninvited to the party. Definitely go around to everyone that night and make them feel bad about trying to ignore you. That'll help make Halloween special. And it'll make Michelle love you again. Win-win.

9. ZORGATRON 3000

Wear this easy-to-make costume if you really want to go for that fun, flirty look that tells all the boys: ZORGATRON 3000 WANTS TO TAKE OVER EARTH. DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IS NIGH. LOOK INTO ZORGATRON 3000's GLOWING RED EYES. YOU KNOW ZORGATRON HAS SEEN SOME STUFF. AND YET NONE OF IT IS AS BAD AS YOU TRYING TO PICK UP WOMEN. YOU SUCK.

and finally, your favorite and mine:

10. A Member of the Gospel Choir from The Great American Bible Challenge

Pick your favorite! There's so many to choose from! And what a variety of costume choices!


Happy Halloween everyone! Good luck finding that perfect last minute costume! :)

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
