Obligatory Halloween Costume Ideas Post

There will be a lot of Halloween parties going down around town this weekend, but with prelims taking up much of Cornell’s collective attention these past few weeks it’s a pretty good bet that there are those among you who have not yet procured a decent costume. Well fear not young revelers, for if there is one thing that we Ivy Leaguers are good at, it’s coming up with cheap last minute costume ideas. Ballin’ on a budget, as it were. So with that in mind, here is a list of some last minute costume ideas that will have you looking like the Belle/Beau of the Ball. And some that you should probably steer clear of. Let’s do work.

Top 5

An Unimpressed McKayla Maroney

This shouldn’t be too hard to pull off. Just be the designated driver, and this look will come naturally.

Candy Crowley, Moderator of Presidential Debate #2

Toss on a pant suit, and just walk around interrupting every conversation you can find.

Hologram Tupac

I’m not going to lie, I have no idea if this is even possible to get done. But if it is? Epic.

Ermahgerd! Goosebumps! Girl

There is no way that people would not know who you are dressed as at this point in the meme timeline, right?

The Bleacher Deuce

The refs had to go under the hood on this one, but in the end the call stands. The Bleacher Deuce (as made famous by the Avicii show) is topical and timely.

Bottom 5

Any “Fifty Shades of Grey” Character

The safe word is “Blue Light Van.”

Honey Boo Boo

Quit encouraging it, and maybe it will go away.

Daniel Tanal, Brock University Hockey defenseman

Walk around smiling and laughing at all the crowd noise before promptly getting thrown out of the party. (I had to get one Big Red Hockey reference in. Sorry, not sorry.)

A 5’6 Hispanic Male with a Mole

Is it worse for me to say it, or that I actually feel that I need to say it?

PSY

See “Boo Boo, Honey.”

Have a safe and happy Halloween!
