Halloween is just around the corner and you've probably been too buried in assignments to even think about a Halloween costume. In a rush and need a quick, easy, and inexpensive costume? Hint: Head over to your nearest Goodwill to find materials!

1. Ceiling Fan

Any color of shirt and some pom-poms will work. The lettering can even be optional to get people guessing.

2. &3. Dead Battery or No Wi-Fi

Wear all black, print out the icons, frown all night and you're good! I mean, #firstworldprobs.

4. Deviled Egg

Safety pin a yellow circle to a white shirt and make some devils horns and tail out of a headband and some wire.

5. Fork in the road

Grab a black shirt, glue some white rectangles (or yellow stripes) on and a fork!

6. Grapes

Get a pack of purple balloons from the dollar store, wear all green, and make yourself some grapes. You could even take this as far as "grapes of wrath".

7. Identity Thief

Easy. Buy a pack of Name Tag Stickers and write all your friends' names on them!

8. When Life Gives You Lemons

Write "life" on a white shirt, buy a pack of lemons, and try to hand them out to people!

9. Movie Theater Floor

Buy some cheap movie theater candy from Walmart for the packages, and then cut a (plastic or paper) cup in half for the cup. Don't forget some wrappers!

10. Pig in a Blanket

Make some homemade piggy accessories and wrap yourself in a blanket. Probably the coziest idea on this list.

11. Pumpkin Pi

Find an orange shirt, print out a pi symbol, and stick it on! The headband is optional if you draw pumpkin curves on it.

12. Smartie Pants

Glue a ton of smarties to your pants and it's that simple! Use your imagination for the shirt; glasses optional.

13. Snapchat Filters

There are so many different directions you could go with this one! You could even be the dogs filter.

14. Tourist

You probably have all of the necessary items for this one, but you can always pick up a Hawaiian shirt at Goodwill!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
