Halloween is just around the corner. We’re all excited for the costumes, the candy that we’ll buy for ourselves, and the parties of course. Unfortunately, midterm season always happens right before Halloween and we all ended up super busy! This year Howard ladies are especially busy having Halloween being only a few days after Homecoming festivities. Some of us have not even thought about Halloween, never mind a Halloween costume. If you’re in that boat this article is here to help. Here are five easy, cute, last minute Halloween costumes!
