Thankfully, Halloween is one of the only holidays that you can successfully procrastinate, as long as you can think of a costume. Here are a few last minute ideas for all of my fellow procrastinators.

1. "She Doesn't Even Go Here"


A blue hoodie, a pair of jeans, and a piece of paper. That's all.

2. Risky Business


The classic go-to Halloween costume, but undoubtedly the most comfortable. Borrow a men's dress shirt, find a pair of socks and sunglasses and you are ready to go!

3. Scarecrow

Pretty everyone has at least one flannel laying around, and if you don't, one of your friends does. Although the scarecrow costume would look best with a pair of overalls, you can always substitute them for a pair of jeans or denim shorts.

4. Rosie the Riveter

Feminists unite at least on Halloween! With this simple costume, all you need is a blue button up shirt, a pair of jeans and a bandana. Consider throwing your hair up in a bun and putting on red lipstick to complete the look.

5. Life... giving out lemons


When life gives you lemons... you make a Halloween costume. Write the word "LIFE" on a plain shirt and steal from lemons from your kitchen. Give them to anyone who asks what your costume is supposed to be.

6. Biker


A surprisingly easy look, most biker costumes only need a leather jacket and a pair of black or ripped jeans, or black ripped jeans. Wear darker eyeshadow and you could pass for being part of a biker gang.

7. Jake from State Farm


If you have a red polo and a pair of khakis, this costume is for you. This costume has not reached the point where it is painfully overdone, yet. Take advantage of the opportunity while you still have it.

8. Literally any animal with ears


Although animals may seem vastly overdone, it's not without good reason. The costume is super easy and allows for a ton of creative freedom. All you need is a pair of ears and the rest is up to you.

9. Wednesday Addams

By putting on a black dress and putting your hair in braids, you can become a part of everyone's favorite (or not) family.

10. Crazy Cat Lady


Roll out of bed and put on a robe, but a crazy cat lady never leaves her house without a cat!

11. 101 Dalmations


Use any kind of makeup or paint and put spots everywhere. Your face, your clothes, your hair, your arms, literally everywhere.

12. Men In Black


As long you got your suit and tie.... you can be a part of the Men and Black. Grab a couple of your favorite procrastinators and you can act as though you've all had this planned for a month.

13. Greek Goddess

Wrap yourself in a plain sheet and throw a couple flowers or a headband in your hair. While I don't know the steps to turn a sheet into a toga, I'm sure there are a million videos on YouTube telling you how to.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
