In A Hurry? 5 Last Minute Costume Ideas
Savers

Halloween is here and its time to bring out the candy and dress up in costumes. But like many people this day could have snuck up on you and now you don't know what to do. Don't worry, here are a few simple costume ideas that can be made using things you already have or by going to your local dollar store.

1. Greaser (50's)


A simple pair of black jeans or blue jeans and a black shirt or tank top will do the trick here. Don't want to wear heels or fancy shoes try on a pair of converse they were super popular back then.


2. Animal

This is one is more for girls, but it's a really simple last minute idea. All you need is a bit of make up to create your animalistic look and the rest is up to you. As long as you have the makeup on fleek, the clothing is the least of your worries.


3. Nerds

This is very simple especially if you wear glasses. A simple pair of khaki pants and a white shirt tend to do the trick but the best part of this costume is everyone has a different interpretation.


4. Scarecrows

Some overalls or jeans with a flannel shirt and straw hat make this costume an easy last minute idea. Don't have cowboy or rain boots? A simple solution would be a pair of sneakers.


5. Athlete

This is more for guys but girls can also pull this off. Put on your favorite team jersey and a corresponding bottom. Don't forget to carry around the ball or equipment to help you look the part.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
