As Halloween approaches, many students may realize they do not have a costume planned and ultimately struggle to find something to wear the night of. You shouldn’t have to drop an exorbitant amount of cash on the 24-hour shipping; just take a walk over to your closet. Here you have it, the full “do it yourself” (DIY) guide to the perfect Halloween costume: cost-effective, feasible and fun.
LUIGI- It’s-a-me, Luigi! To get in character, jump and twirl in the air every time you get a piece of candy you like. If you throw in a tip on how to fix the garbage disposal it will let them know that you haven’t forgotten your humble plumber background and you’ll be good to go.
TOURIST- Don’t worry if you get lost from your group this year, as tourists always do. You can just tag along with any group passing by until they start to question who you are. When that happens, pull out a map and ask to be directed to the nearest candy-endowed house.
WALDO- Make sure that after you ring the doorbell to houses as Waldo, you hide behind the nearest bush, plant or statue. It’ll give a real sense of authenticity when the homeowner is standing there looking around confused; just how people look at the Where’s Waldo books!
HIPPIE- Peace out on the traditional Halloween hype and have a chill night as a hippie. Reject the conventional values of Halloween and try reverse trick-or-treating: go to houses and spread some love by putting candy into their bowls when they open the door.
