For those who feel they don’t need to impress anyone, especially on the day of the dead.

So, you put off making a Halloween costume, again. Maybe you’re tired, or lazy, or both. Don’t worry, here are some last-minute costumes that take as much time as you do planning ahead.
1) Garbage
You feel like garbage, so why not just be garbage? Simply grab some that’s lying around and glue it to your clothing. This is also a great excuse to finally get around to rummaging through your ex’s garbage cans; they always had such good taste in garbage.
2) Duct tape
Super cheap, super-fast. Just cover yourself in duct tape, which you can buy at any dollar store. Getting it off will be super hard, and painful, but you clearly never worry about the future, so why start now?
3) Drunk
For this costume, all you have to do is slam back several shots before going to the party, and then keep drinking when you get there. This costume might seem lame, but trust me, as the night goes on more and more people will think it’s hilarious.
4) High
Almost the same as number three, but you’ll be hungrier.
5) A freelancer
Don’t sleep for days leading up to the party to really get that authentic look. Stay true to your costume by not going to the party with any snacks or beer; you can’t afford it.
6) Debt
Tape a sign that says “Debt” to your chest, then spend the entire party staring at people from a distance.
7) Your ice-cold ex
If you didn’t find anything in their garbage, just be them for Halloween by taping ice-cubes to yourself. They will all melt in an hour, but it’s worth it if your ex happens to go to the same party—which they will since you figured out which one they’re going to! Good on you for being assertive.
8) Vancouver housing crisis
For this costume you don’t need to wear anything special, but you will need to commit to crying during the entire time you are at the party.
9) A ghost
No expensive sheets are needed, just start a bunch of relationships and then abruptly end them with no explanation.
10) A person who is stressed-out because everything is temporary, but everyone acts like it’s not. Why can’t everyone just chill out, for the love of God.
Come as you are.
