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!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
