Let's be real here: Halloween for college students is all about the costumes. Whether you're trying to be clever, sexy, or both, it's the costumes that make the holiday special for us. And let's be real here for a second time: Chances are you're gonna wait until the last minute to think of a costume, but don't worry, I've got you covered. Here are a few easy last-minute costume ideas from one college student to another.

1. A greaser.

Become the ultimate throwback by taking it all the way back to the 50's! All you really need to pull off this costume is a leather jacket, a white t-shirt, hair gel, and some blue jeans. Bonus points if you walk around with a tiny little comb and talk with a bad fake Boston accent.

2. A cat.

Is it original? No. Is it creative? Also no. But is it fast and cheap? Yes. Just buy a pair of cat ears, paint some whiskers on your face, and slap on an all-black outfit and you're ready for Hallow's Eve. This is an easy, classic costume to pull off.

3. A salt shaker.

Chances are you already have everything you need for this costume right in your closet already. As someone who wore this one last year, trust me, it's something you can throw together in about five minutes and every drunk stranger you encounter on your night out will appreciate once they get the joke. All you need to do is take a plain white t-shirt, write an S on the front in black sharpie, and wear it with some black jeans or leggings. Pro tip: place a piece of cardboard inside the shirt so that the S is easier to write and comes out better.

4. Regina George.

This is another one you can make using things you probably already have in your closet. Just cut two large holes in the breast of a white tank top and wear it over a colored tank top. As for the bottom half, just throw on some leggings, yoga pants, or booty shorts if you won't mind how cold it is out. Match this outfit with an IDGAF attitude and you're set.

5. Medusa.

Just glue some fake plastic snakes onto a cheap headband and spray paint it gold. For the rest of the outfit just wear clothes that resemble a toga, or just literally wear a white sheet out and pin it to your clothes underneath. Quick, easy, and original.
