When you're in college I feel like you spend all of October trying to brainstorm for a costume idea for Halloween. Not only do you want to be super fun and creative but you also don't want to spend a fortune! Here are some ideas to get you through your Halloween festivities while looking fabulous on a budget:

1. Betty, Veronica and Cheryl from Riverdale.

All you need is some black athletic shorts, a white and yellow baseball tee and some poms. GO BULLDOGS!

2. Box wine.

All you need is to take a cardboard box and cut out arm and foot holes, then blow up an image of your favorite box wine. Bonus points if you actually cut out a hole so you can have some of the wine inside the box and have it pour out.

3. Mean Girls.

All you need is a few friends and a pink shirt with a pleated skirt. You can even cut out holes in your top so your bra can peek through! That's so fetch.

4. ANY cute animal.

All you need is a cute outfit of your choosing and some animal ears (maybe even a tale). This is probably the easiest and best for last minute parties.

5. The Little Mermaid.

All you need to buy is a cheap purple bra or bathing suit. and cover it with shells, sequins and whatever else sparkly you have laying around. Then pair it with a green skirt and you're all set. You can even get hairspray from a Halloween store to turn your hair red!

6. Gum Ball Machine.

All you need is a red skirt or shorts and to glue a bunch of poms ( or actually gum balls) to a crop top!

7. Kim Possible and Ron.

All you need is a black long sleeve crop top or just long sleeve and green cargo pants. Call me beep me if you want to reach me!

8. The Purge.

I feel like this is the go to quick Halloween program. All you need is a mask and a weapon of your choice! Just remember all the good the Purge does!

9. It's Raining Men.

This is super fun and creative. All you need is an umbrella, some string, and pictures of your favorite me. Attach the pictures to the string and hang them from the umbrella! Hallelujah!

10. Victoria secret model.

This is so easy it's genius. All you need is a thin silky robe and whatever you chose to wear underneath.

Hopefully some of these help in your journey of finding the perfect Halloween costume!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
