Beginning of September*Sees pictures of Halloween costumes on Pinterest*HELL YEAH this year I am going to have the best costume the world has ever seen.

I am going to get this done immediately!!

Hmm where to begin…

Beginning of OctoberIt’s okay that I still haven’t gotten anything done; I have so much time!

*Continues brainstorming this amazing costume idea*

One Week Before HalloweenLast minute trip to Party City? Yeah you wish. They’re sold out of anything slightly flattering.

You call your friends all excited for them to help you.

Only to be left in disappointment, realizing none of them have costumes either.

But inside you’re happy, because you all procrastinated together.

Maybe I should get my sh*t together

You panic because… well… you will now have to put those crafty imaginative skills to work

Hmm group costume?

Maybe last year’s look could get put to good use again

Good for you, you did it!
