1. Cruella de Vil and her 101 Dalmatians

I think this costume would be super cute and affordable. For the dog all you need is a white shirt, white pants, black construction paper, and a red show tie to act as a collar. For Cruella de Vil, you'll need a black dress, red gloves, heels, and a faux fur coat. All of that can easily be found at any retail store or online.

2. The Cast of Holes

This is a very cheap outfit because all you need is a jug of water, white shirt, and an orange prison suit.

3. Sun, Moon, and a Star

You and your friend could easily find this outfit for cheap on Amazon. Both would need some sort of metallic skirt and then a matching metallic tank top. You would have to buy some sort of glitter to put on your face and hair. Then complete the look with a homemade headband that is gold and looks like a sun and the other is silver and has stars on it, and for the moon a white hairband with the phases.

4. 3 Blind Mice

I think this costume is my favorite out of all of them! You need a black dress, fishnets, heels, mouse ears, sunglasses, and a cane. Most people have sunglasses, but the rest may cost a little more than you were hoping to spend, but it is totally worth it!

5. Fruit

You can your friends could easily do this costume if you are in a rush. You'll need an oversized shirt in the color of your fruit, Sharpies and paint to draw on the shirt, and a green headband that looks like the stem of the fruit you are.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
