Best AC Content: 10 Great DIY Halloween Costume Ideas for College Students

Halloween loses something once you aren't a little kid anymore, but that definitely doesn't mean that Halloween has to be lame! Don't be a loser who doesn't dress up for Halloween, instead, have some fun with the costumes you choose. Here are some Halloween costume ideas to get your started:

College Student Halloween Costume #1

Amy Winehouse

Okay, let's be honest, you are going to get drunk and ridiculous for Halloween this year. You'll have too much beer and a touch too much punch, and in no time, you'll be puking every where. Taking that into consideration, why not dress like Amy Winehouse this Halloween. You can be drunk and singing about how you don't want to go into rehab, and everyone will just think it's part of the act. How sick is that?

College Student Halloween Costume #2

Charlotte York from Sex in The City

Maybe most of the year, you are slutty like Samantha, so why not mix it up this Halloween and dress like the world's preppiest good girl, Charlotte from Sex In The City. You know you want to confuse everyone.

College Student Halloween Costume #3

Sarah Palin

Okay, so she was totally hot last Halloween, but that doesn't mean you can't be Sarah Palin this year. Mix it up by being a dead Sarah Palin or zombie Palin or, my favorite, newly dyke Sarah Palin. All you need is a suit with giant shoulder pads and an updo. Great for a last minute party invite.

College Student Halloween Costume #4

Lauren or Audrina from the Hills

Okay, it's a subtle costume, sure, but if you are a fan, why the heck not look glamorous and beautiful for the night? Are you fashion-forward or glam rock? Blonde or brunette? Make your choices and plan your look from there.

College Student Halloween Costume #5

Tyra Banks

The woman has an empire of ugly-pretty girls at her disposal, and just admit it, you want to be her. Now you can, at least for the night. You'll need some hot black girl hair, fashionable clothes, and a willingness to sudden start speaking in a fake French accent about how awesome models are or yell "I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!" after any sort of contest. Try it, girl!

College Student Halloween Costume #6

L'il Wayne

You'll need a tank top, big jeans, a hoodie, a dreadlock wig and lots of bling to imitate this rapper for the night. On a night when everyone else is going to be going for that Michael Jackson look, why not dare to be different? Besides, you can hang on to the wig to be a Rastafarian next year.

College Student Halloween Costume #7

The Nerd

A classic, true, but one that's wicked easy to pull off at the last night. Pick up a pair of clunky, ugly glasses and pop out the lens. Get a pair of khaki pants, a white dress shirt, a pocket protector, and bowling shoes. You might want to add a red bow-tie or red suspenders... or both! To complete the look, part your hair on the side and slick it down flat against your head.

College Student Halloween Costume #8

The Hippy

Now you can say that the smell of pot that follows you around wherever you go is merely a fashion accessory for your Hippy-licious Halloween costume. You'll need bell bottoms (you might find these in your dad's closet), a tie-dyed t-shirt, long hair wig, a bandana to tie around your head, some peace beads, and a big fat doobie. You'll be the most popular person at the party.

College Student Halloween Costume #9

Super Mario Brothers

Old school video games are the best, and it's easy to look like Mario and Luigi with a little imagination and a couple of bucks at the thrift store. Thrift store Halloween costumes are the best, and if you just add a couple fake mustaches, you'll be all set for finding your own Princess Daisy for the night.

College Student Halloween Costume #10

Not A Morning Person

For this one, you don't even really need to make a costume. Just go to bed, wake up five minutes before the party starts, don't brush your hair or anything, just go as is. Carry a giant cup of coffee and snarl at anyone who tries to talk to you.
