I’m not sure if you celebrate Halloween. Some people don’t, whether that be for religious or other reasons, but I do. I love Halloween. It’s basically the only day of the year you can be whatever you want. Why wouldn’t you take advantage of that? The answer is, you would. Although, we all know that school has us pretty darn busy. Who has time to carefully craft a costume anymore? Who has money to buy one? Not me. But don’t count out options that you can make legitimately five minutes before you walk out the door.

A piece of fruit.

Who doesn’t love fruit?! Okay, fruit isn’t exactly sexy, but that is not the only thing Halloween is about. Fruit is easy. Throw on a purple shirt and some leggings, top it off with a green hat and poof! You’re a grape. You’re welcome.

A snail.

You can be transformed into a snail in just four easy steps. Haven’t you always wanted to be a snail?

1. Put all your textbooks in your backpack.
2. Cover your backpack in a brown sheet.
3. Put on all black clothes.
4. Put on your backpack.

Ta-da! If you want to take it even further, you could paint a white stripe down the front of your outfit. You know, for slime.

An olympic athlete.

Dig out those Nike trainers and a hoodie and you’re good to go. Throw on a dollar store medal for bonus points.

A model.

Sunglasses. Black clothes. Insanely high heels. Angry face. Need I say more?

A bottle of ketchup.

This one requires just a tiny bit of effort, but I promise you’ll be the best looking bottle at the party. Throw on some red clothes; really go all out here. We’re talking red shirt and pants. Break out the bottle of paint you used to paint your dad’s office and scribble “Ketchup” right across that shirt. Don’t worry if it looks messy, people will get it. You could even *squeeze* in a pair of red sneakers. Ha.

How could you possibly justify not dressing up now? Who cares if your friends are all going as the “Bad Blood” girls? That’s got nothing on your snail costume.
