Scrambling to find something to wear at the last minute is something every college girl has experience at some point or another. With Halloween right around the corner, you may be wondering what you could possibly pull together with your college budget. Because midterms happen to fall right around Halloween, these costumes are super easy and quick to make — meaning you have that much more time to study for exams — or procrastinate like you usually do.
1. Skeleton

2. Pop art character
This one’s great because you can wear anything you want. Using makeup you already have (or paint if you prefer), just follow this tutorial and you have a killer costume.

This costume be done in many variations. Just take black clothes (preferably provocative ones if you’re comfortable with that) and sew, tape, pin, or glue a red A to your top. Because this movie is so iconic, this costume is guaranteed to get an A+ rating from your friends.
