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'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

music sheet

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
