So here is a guide I made for you so you can have an easy time and cheap costume for Halloween this year!

Scooby Doo

This costume is really simple, but a classic! I looked up what the cast wore and got the same colored clothing as the characters.

Toga

Go to Walmart, get you some fabric, and tie up a toga! So easy and so cheap.

NASCAR

NASCAR was bid day theme this year and I had so much fun dressing up. There are so many accessories to wear and it turned out to be very easy to find checkered print clothing online.

Cheerleaders

Borrow a friend's uniform and BOOM, that's it!

Jerseys and Refs

Someone is bound to have a jersey in their swap box and all you have to do to be a ref is find a white and black stripped shirt.

Military 

If you are in Starkville, there is a Military Pawn Shop on Highway 12!

The Purge 

This is hands down my favorite costume I've ever worn! We had a blast scaring everybody.

Jersey Shore

Everyone has either seen Jersey Shore or has heard of Snooki. The cheetah and big hair is ICONIC!

Kentucky Derby 

All you need is a dress and a hat!

angels 

To be an angel on a budget, wear white and buy some wings.

Hope I gave you inspiration for this Halloween season!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
