14 Easy, Last-Minute Halloween Costumes

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
