Halloween is only a few days away and if you're like me you've probably procrastinated coming up with an awesome costume for your Halloween escapades. Whether you're heading to a costume party, treat or treating, or bar-hopping you don't want to show up without a costume. In order to help my fellow masters of procrastination I've compiled a list of D.I.Y. last minute Halloween costumes.

1. Burglar(s)

For this D.I.Y. all you need is a black and white stripped shirt, some black slacks, a mask and-of course- your bag of "stolen" cash!

2. Rosie the Riveter

This is another quick and easy last minute costume. All that this requires is a red bandanna, and a collared jean shirt. For added effect you could add a sign with the well known phrase "We Can Do It!"

3. "Nudist Strike"

While this is a more "punny" costume it is extremely easy to make. All you need is a sign that reads "Nudist Strike" no other materials required just wear the sign over your clothes!

4. "Identity Theft"

While I've seen this one a lot it's still a pretty creative and easy costume idea. All you need is an abundance of the "Hello My Name is:" stickers. Once you have the stickers write as many different names as you can think of on them and then stick them all over you!


5. "Low Budget Man"

To be honest this is one of my favorites. All you need for this DIY is a trash bag and some duck tape. Don the trash bag as a cape and in duck tape spell out low budget man. You are now a superhero off to save the world, but on a budget.

6. "50 Shades of Grey"

Once again super easy costume especially if you're short on time. For this costume all you need is fifty grey paint swatches, then just glue them to your shirt and you are now "50 Shades of Grey"!


7. Nickel back

For this next costume all you'll need is some nickels! Hot glue the nickels to your shirt and you've transformed into "Nickelback"

8. "The black Eyed Peas"

This is a costume geared towards couples or if you have a friend to pair up with. To become the Black Eyed Peas is a shirt with the letter P on it and a black eye, just use some black eye shadow or costume makeup.

9. Ghost

This costume is a classic. All you need is a white sheet and a pair of scissors. Drape the sheet over yourself and cut some eye holes out so you can see where you're going while you're trick or treating.

10."Fantasy Football"

This is another "punny" costume idea. What you'll need: a football, a witch/wizard hat, which/wizard robes and a wand. The magical aspects will create the fantasy while the football creates the look.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
