10 DIY Halloween Costumes That Won't Break Your Budget

If you're a Halloweenie like me, then you've probably already got your costume all planned out and ready to go (yes, a month in advance...don't @ me). But sometimes, we need a little bit of help! Whether it's money that's stopping you from deciding on a costume or you just don't want to put in the most maximum effort (let's face it, not everyone's extra about Halloween like I am), this list is here for any of your Halloween costume needs!

1. The Bachelorette (or the Bachelor)

Have an old homecoming dress lying around that you thought you'd never wear again? Or a tuxedo? Have you got $10 to spend on a bouquet of roses? Then you've got yourself a perfect Halloween costume! Give out roses throughout the night to random folks to really embrace that Bachelor/Bachelorette vibe, too.

2. Arthur

The man, the meme, the legend. If you've got a white collared button down, a yellow, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, a pair of basic blue jeans, square-frame glasses, and a pair of white shoes (Converse are personally always my go-to), then all you have to invest in are some ears that you can stick on your head! Easy peasy!

3. Rosie the Riveter

The easiest of all Halloween costumes, tbh. All you need are blue jeans, a blue, button-down short-sleeve shirt, and a red bandana for your hair! Plus maybe some killer winged eyeliner to really seal the deal.

4. Kim Kardashian

All you need for this one is a pair of high heels and a tight outfit to accentuate your *ahem* assets. If you want to go for a more humorous costume, then throw in a "sex tape" to carry around with you (pictured above).

5. An Instagram photo.

Super duper easy and great for pictures with friends! Just throw on your most basic outfit and cut out a giant frame from cardboard to paint and decorate as your Instagram frame!

6. Any character from Gossip Girl

It's as easy as throwing on a school uniform or your most boujee outfit and calling it a day! The possibilities are endless considering how many characters there are! XOXO...

7. Superman/Clark Kent

In the day and age of superhero movies being the most popular movies there are, it's the perfect time of year to try out a Superman costume! Check your local thrift shop for a Superman t-shirt and then just get a button-down shirt, a tie, and some thick-rimmed glasses to complete the look! This could be perfect for a couples costume if you've got someone to be your Lois Lane or Wonder Woman, too!

8. Netflix and chill

Over-sized shirts in blue and red? Check! A printer to print out letters to glue/tape onto your shirt? Check! That's all this super simple costume takes, and the best part is that you can do it with your BFF!

9. Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast At Tiffany's"

Make Blair Waldorf proud in this super easy Audrey Hepburn costume! All you need is a little black dress, some pearls, a pair of black shades, and some black gloves and heels to complete the look!

10. Hogwarts student

Pretending you're a wizard has never been easier with this DIY costume! All you need is a lot of gray! Gray stockings, a gray skirt, and a gray cardigan over a white button-down. To really complete this look, add in some of your house colors (Gryffindor 4 lyfe)!

Let's get spoopy, guys!!

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
