    Have No Fear! Halloween On A College Budget Can Still Be AWESOME!

    We all know the process of finding the next best costume is emotionally (and financially) draining, but you are not alone!

    With Halloween just around the corner, it's about time to find that perfect costume to help you standout from the rest of crowd.

    But hey, we all know that if you have don't have any ideas, the process is not that easy.

    You know you don't want to be basic enough to be wearing something similar to the girl next to you…

    But thinking about people spending all that money on a costume vs. a night on the town is like:

    So you call over your best friend for reinforcements...

    And you start picking through your closet, trying to see if you can put a few things together.

    At first you wind up picking something that you know really doesn't look that good…

    And your best friend looks at you like "What……"

    So she puts you in something new (equally as ugly but still thinks she made improvements...)

    And you hate it. So finally you start going through your stages of grief… your costume may not be as B.A. as you thought.

    Step 1: Denial

    Step 2: Anger

    Step 3: Bargaining

    Step 4: Depression

    And finally...

    Step 5: Acceptance

    And without other options, you wind up choosing something generic, something you know people have seen before…

    Like this:

    But still, you come to the conclusion that you don't have much choice because you're trying to save the $$...

    And although the thought of matching the girl next to you in the bar has you like:

    You know you no matter what you're wearing, you and your friends will have an awesome Halloween to remember…

    Or not.
