5 Easy Last-Minute Halloween Costumes

Scrambling for a last-minute Halloween costume, or just know that you're not going to have any time for a crazy one? Here are thrift-friendly ideas for guys, gals, and dogs alike!

1. A "Droog" from A Clockwork Orange


Predictable? Maybe. Cheap and easy? You bet! This costume requires nothing more than white pants, a white top, and some funky bottom eyelashes–and only on one eye! Spend the Halloween party getting into character by waltzing around from room to room with a look on your face that says, "I'm trying to scare you because I'm youthful and better than you." To take it up a notch, add a cane, a top hat, or a glass of milk.

2. Life

Some will laugh, some will cry, and others will just roll their eyes at your attempt at a punny costume. Yes, dressing up in a white t-shirt that has "life" written on it and handing lemons out to other party guests is a bit stale, but hey, you don't care! You're just looking for an easy way to dress up so people won't think you're a party pooper.

3. Skeleton

While this costume requires basically no purchases in the costume department–a black shirt and pants duo–it might require a keen hand in the makeup department. If you acquire such talent to contour your face into a skeleton, then congratulations, you have a costume! If not, then phone a friend. If neither options are possible for you, then please refer to options 1, 2, 4, or 5.

4. Scarecrow

Possibly one of the easiest costumes thus far. A scarecrow requires nothing more than a flannel and some scarecrow makeup, which can be done with just black eyeliner. Add in a straw hat and some actual straw to get a more realistic look. Grab a crow if you're feeling frisky!

5. A Pile of Garbage

Well, I was wrong–this is probably the easiest costume to concoct. Dress how you want, do your makeup how you wish–just be sure to tape some garbage to yourself! You can even be your own garbage rendition, such as a garbage princess, or zombie garbage! You'll be the talk–and smell–of the party!

Happy (almost) Halloween!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
