11 Easiest Last Minute Halloween Costumes

Decorations, apple picking, pumpkin patches, candy corn—it's that time of year again, and Halloween is quickly approaching. With just a couple of weeks until the night that we've all yearned for as children, and continue to throughout college years, we're all scrambling through Amazon, Target, and Walmart trying to come up with an easy, cute, and inexpensive outfit. In case you haven't found the perfect outfit for this year, here is a list of the 11 easiest last-minute costumes to throw together.

1. Cat

Although it’s the most generic, it’s definitely one of the easiest costumes to throw together. All you need is a black outfit, cat ears, and a drawn-on nose and whiskers.


2. Vampire

If you want to be a little more original than a cat, yet still create an easy costume, a vampire is the way to go. All you need is, once again, a black outfit, vampire fangs, and red dye (red lipstick works as well) to draw on blood.


3. Tom Cruise from "Risky Business"


Even though this may be one of the typical college Halloween outfits, it’s definitely a classic. All you need is a button-down shirt, white ankle socks, boxer briefs, and black sunglasses, and you’re basically Tom Cruise himself!


4. Rosie the Riveter


Beyoncé did it, so why shouldn't you? Just like Beyoncé, throw on a blue, long-sleeve button down, a red bandana, and jeans, and you’re the perfect poster child for Rosie the Riveter!


5. Miley Cyrus

If you’re looking to dress up a little more exotic, Miley Cyrus is a must. You can wear just about any outfit as long as you wear you hair in the double buns that has recently become her trademark look.


6. Security Guard

To pass off as a security guard, you’ll need an all black outfit, aviator sunglasses, and a print out of the word “security” to tape to the back of your shirt. Yeah, it's not too exciting, but if you're trying to figure out a costume half an hour before the party, it's definitely an option.


7. Barbie

To transform yourself into one of the Barbie dolls from your childhood, all you’ll need any cute outfit, and a cut out of the Barbie logo to tape or draw onto your shirt.


8. Flo from Progressive

The costume may seem more intricate than it actually is, but really all you need to complete the Flo outfit is a white top, a blue headband, white jeans, and to complete the look, red lipstick.


9. M&Ms

If you want to branch away from the black outfits, an M&M costume is perfect. All you need is a red, blue, green, brown, or yellow shirt, and then tape on the M&M logo onto your shirt, and you’re all set!


10. Regina George

Who wouldn’t want to dress as one of the most iconic film characters of the 2000s? Regardless of whatever outfit you wear, as long as you have the two cut outs in your shirt, your costume will be immediately recognized.


11. Frat Boy

Frat, I'm sorry, fraternity boys. We all know at least one, but as long as you have guys friends, you'll have no problem pulling off this look. Throw on a pair of khaki shorts (preferably Chubbies), a button down shirt, Sperrys, ankle socks, and a hat, and you're one of the guys!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
