The Struggle of Finding A Last Minute Halloween Costume

If plan out your costume in advance and may even sew your costume together at home just so it can be much more original, props to you. Seriously, one day I want to be that person (I even planned out a costume I thought I could sew for this year, but it didn't happen). While I applaud all of the creative costume makers out there; this article is not for you. This is for the people who were too indecisive to choose a costume until they were forced to throw something together last-minute. You are my people, and if you are anything like me, this is your costume process.

1. You remember that Halloween basically arrived and you still need a costume

Where did all the time go? You thought you had all month to find a costume!


2. You can't be the only one without a costume

Beside, the Halloween party you were invited to requires everyone to wear a costume to get through the door. You will probably still be let in, but not without a ton of harrasment from your dear friends.


3. You search the most popular costumes for the year so you are not going to be another repeat character

You know who you are Harley Quinns, Pokemon trainers and Star Wars people! Now you know what NOT to be, it's time to figure out what you DO want to be.


4. You start Googling and Pintresting costume ideas

There are so many awesome options! How is everyone so creative?!


5. You consider buying a pre-packaged costume

This is a brief consideration that quickly fizzles out when you remember how spendy costumes can be. Besides, its cold out outside and pre-packaged costumes are generally not made of thick material.


6. You lower your epic costume standards and go back to the drawing board for something simple

A simple costume is the only option you have now. You ran out of time, but you can still rock it while avoiding costumes only consisting of cat ears (now that's too simple!).


7. You call a friend

You want to ask them what they are going to be so you know how extravagant of a costume you'll be standing next to all night. You need a reference point to know how seriously to take this costume thing, right?


8. You Pintrest and Google AT HOME costume ideas

Behold, a selection of more time and money friendly costumes!


9. You make your choice and personalize it

Whatever your choice, make it yours and own it.


10. Looking festive yet simple, you survived another year's Halloween costume debacle

Congrats! You avoid getting too much grief from your friends while simultaneously taking advantage of Halloween's excuse to dress up and be creative.


11. You tell yourself you will definitely plan ahead next time

HAHAHAHA! We will see about that.


Happy Halloween Everyone!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
