A lazy girl’s guide to Halloween costumes

If you’re like me, you probably got caught up in the craziness that is the middle of the semester. Midterms, term papers, and Homecoming took up all of my time and before I knew it we were here in Talloweek.

Some people prep hardcore for this week, spending lots of hours on Pinterest and browsing through costume shops to find the perfect costume for every night of the week. For those of you who are like me and avoided responsibilities, deadlines, and dates, you probably had no time to think about Halloween or even think about costumes.

So here is the perfect costume guide for the lazy ladies out there who just wanna get smashed. All costumes are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5 for both laziness and difficulty. (5 being the laziest and most difficult)

The campus cat

Laziness: 4

Difficulty: 2

Yes, yes. We get it. It’s basic. Please tell me more.

Wear all black everything, throw on some ears and you’re good to go. You might even be able to just tape some black construction paper to a headband. This costume gets a 2 for difficultly because obtaining the ears might take a little bit of effort, but it’s pretty safe to assume most basic babes have some lying around. You could even turn it into a drinking game – every time someone makes a comment on how basic you are, take a shot. You’ll be the most smashed kitty Tally ever did see

Dalvin Cook

Laziness: 5

Difficulty: 1

If you’re basic like myself, you probably own an oversized jersey that you sport on many a game day. In a slightly drunken haze, it could mistaken for a fully thought out costume. It might not be a touchdown, but I’d say it’s good enough for a first down at best. Maybe throw some war paint on your cheeks and carry around a football to really seal the deal. If you don’t own any of these items I’m sure you know someone who does

Your Dad

Laziness: 5

Difficulty: 1

Since basic dad attire has perpetually been growing as a staple of our campus wardrobe, it won’t be hard to go in your closet and find something dad worthy. To really excel at this costume you might want to grab a Hawaiian shirt, some jorts, a ball cap, and some sensible walking shoes. Every dad is different, but we all know one when we see one. Maybe lead with some dad jokes to get the party started.

Anything in an oversized shirt

Laziness: 5

Difficulty: 2

A night out in no pants is a good night out in my book. With one extra large shirt, the possibilities of apathetic costumes are endless. Get a pink shirt, draw some lines on it, and be a strawberry. Get a yellow shirt, draw a ghost on the front, and be Snapchat. Get a red one and be a stop sign. It’s truly a versatile lazy costume that could, if done properly, be used every night of Talloweek.

An angel, ’cause midterms killed you

Lazy level: 3

Difficulty: 3

Lose your clothes and grab some wings. Here’s a super easy costume you won’t want to show your mom. It’s fine, you can just wear this one on a night that you should be studying and she’ll never have to know. You’ll be the subject of every frat boys dreams
