Happy Halloween form Pakkits!
Halloween
on a college campus can be one of the highlights of fall semester. Without a
great costume, however, what's a college student to do?
If you're like most college students who
are already overburdened with obligations, you probably waited until the last
minute to figure out what to be for Halloween. Luckily, there are several great
ideas that can be done at the last minute -- and without spending too much
money.
Dress As Your Roommate
This should be done kindly, of course, and
is even better if you both go together while dressed as each other. Simply
borrow your roommate's clothes and an accessory or two, vamp it up a bit, and
off you go. (Women: Is your roommate into bags? Grab several of her faves and
head out. Men: Does your roommate always wear sports shirts? Put on several and
show them off during the evening, perhaps rotating them as the night goes on.)
It should go without saying, of course, that you'll need your roommate's permission
and that you should be sensitive of hurting any feelings. But if you're both
into it, it can be a fast costume fix.
Go to a Thrift Store
Thrift stores have all kinds of great finds
throughout the year -- but especially at Halloween. Grab some funky clothes;
grab some fancy clothes; grab some clothes from a decade or two ago. But grab
all you want and don't worry about spending too much.
Go as a Group
If you're going out with a group of
friends, work together to find a costume. You can dress like the cast from a
recent movie, flight attendants and pilots, or even the members of whatever
girl or boy band is currently hot. Because you'll be going as a group, you
won't need as many accessories as you would if you were responsible for your
own attire.
Dress as a College-Aged Character from a
Movie
Whether
or not you ever thought about it as such, you have an entire room full of
college-student props. Vamp it up and go as a college-aged character from a
movie. It can be a classic or whatever is current. Either way, it's an easy fix
to not having a costume handy.
