Halloween is coming up. And you know what that means...

IT'S #SPOOPY TIME!

I'm only half kidding. Anyway, it's that time of year again, with pumpkins, scary stuff, and tons candy. And one of the classic Halloween traditions is to dress up. But if you're a broke college kid like myself, you've got a tight budget. I mean, a real tight budget. So here's some costume ideas for those of you who are either too broke or too lazy to go out and buy a full blown costume set.

1. Ghost

Just buy a white sheet and cut out some eye holes. It's the one of the easiest halloween costumes ever.

2. Cat

All you need are some cat ears, all black clothes, and a touch of makeup. Easy peasy!

3. Angel

Get some white clothes, a makeshift halo, and a little set of wings. Throw some glitter in there, too. Life's too short to not have any glitter.

4. Devil


Can't have an angel without a devil! Get some red clothes (maybe some black in there, too), a pitchfork, and some horns, and you're ready to go.

5. Sports Fan

Chances are, if you don’t have a jersey lying around at home, you know someone who does. Get that, and some face paint, and it'll be just like you're headed to the game.

6. Witch

A classic look. Simply a long black dress and a witch hat. Throw in a broom if you're feeling adventurous.


There you have it, folks! My simple and basic list of simple and basic costumes for Halloween. If you're broke like me, go with one of these easy ideas. You really can't go wrong with the classics. Happy Halloween!

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
