HELLAween Series: Last Minute Halloween Costumes You Didn't Know You Had In Your Closet

WallpapersPro

Hello, citizens of Halloweentown. It's the best day of the year, and it's time to get spooky because it's HALLOWEEN!

It also just so happens to be a Monday...

But, don't worry. Even if you haven't yet gotten into costume because you've got the Monday blues, or you just think that since you have to go to school/work that you shouldn't dress up, I've got you covered! Here are a few really quick and really easy costumes made of things you probably already have lying around!

1. Burglar

All you need for this one is a striped shirt, black pants, a mask, and a moneybag, which can easily just be a brown paper bag with a dollar sign on it. Easy peasy.

2. Regina George

I did this one last year myself! All you need is a purple bra, white tank top, and black skirt. I think this one only cost me about $2 to make.

3. Jim and Pam

Shoutout to the best couple in television history! For Jim, all you need is a basic button dow, dockers, and comfy shoes. Don't forget the tie! Pam is just as easy. Just switch the dockers for a skirt and be sure to clip your hair back.

4. Shadow

Black morph suit. That's all you need. If you want to get innovative like this one, get a little hat and a feather and be Peter Pan's shadow!

5. Flanders

Be the best diddly-dang guy at the party in this one! All you need are dockers, a pink button-down, and a forest green pullover.

6. Risky Business

Channel your inner Tom Cruise with a white button down, boxers, socks, and ray bans.

7. Cosmo & Wanda

Similar to Jim, for Cosmo, all you need is the button down, tie and pants. Wanda needs a neon yellow top and black bottoms. Pink and green hairspray is around $1, and you can make the crowns and wands!

BONUS: if you're a squad of 3, get your third person a pink top, jeans, and a pink hat. They can be your Timmy!

8. The Belchers

Be everyone's favorite offbeat family wth your squad! Chances are you have a lot of the basic pieces they wear lying around, or you can pick them up from any basics section of any store. Burger suit and megaphone not included.

9. Rosie The Riveter

Take a little inspo from Yonce! This one is simple: denim top, jeans, and a red bandana. Then show of your guns in the name of women's empowerment!

10. An Emoji

This one is also pretty easy. Pick your favorite, and then see what basics you have lying around to make it come to life!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1987

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.
