HLWN101: A Lesson In How To Do Halloween This Year Like A Boss
âTis the season of the witch, seniors! I hope you have your pumpkins carved and youâre spiderwebs hung but if you donât hereâs a few tips on how to get Halloween-ready before this weekendâs âfestivities.â
The first thing you are going to need, of course, are decorations. Since virtually all of us are beyond broke and into debt-range, here are a few ideas that you can either make yourself or get cheap at the Dollar Store.
The great thing about these decorations is that you can find them for very very cheap. The Spider Webs come in big packs for a couple dollars, the orange light are around $5, and the baby pumpkins are around $.69 cents. Super easy to find and really easy to set up.
Next you are gonna need some pumpkins to carve. I would suggest the Melon Shack in Albany. They have a cute little pumpkin patch with the perfect size pumpkins for a dorm or an apartment and itâs not too far from campus. They also have a great corn maze and hot donuts that they sell. I recommend the cinnamon sugar ones - they are mouthwatering! Best of all, itâs also cheap! The donuts are $1, the maze is $5 a person, and the pumpkins are around $1 - $3 each depending on the size, of course. There is even a little place where kids can do arts and crafts if you have a little monster of your own to entertain this fall.
Third step is a costume. Now, for many of us in college, a costume is somewhat of a dread to think about. So much work and money to fit into a tight budget and schedule. Well, here are a few costume ideas that will look super cute but wonât break your bank!
This costume is super easy and cheap. Odds are you have a plain black shirt somewhere in your closet and you can find a cheap skirt at Goodwill. For the dots on the skirt, use white felt sheets from Joannes, add some makeup, high heels and your ears and you are ready to party!
This is a super easy and cheap costume. A white button-down, black leggings and shoes, a wig, syringe and fake cigarette and blood. This one is super sexy, cheap and cultured. You will be getting great quotes yelled at you all night - âItâs the one that says âBadass Motherfucker.ââ
What better way to show your inner sparkle than with this fantastical mythical creature. All you need is a unicorn horn, wings, makeup and sparkles! The best part about this costume is that it is completely customizable. There are so many ways to do this costume and every way is SUPER cute. What color is your inner unicorn?
If all else fails and you are down to the wire, you can pick up a pair of cat ears literally anywhere. You can also have a fair bit of creativity with this costume and if you donât want to be that girl, you can turn your cat spooky like this one from Alice in Wonderland.
The final thing you need for a great halloween this year is a good halloween movie list. This is a halloween must have. Make sure you find every opportunity to sit down, munch on some pumpkin seeds and watch your favorite Halloween movies this season. To do anything else would be criminal!
