This mummy costume is one of the easiest last minute college Halloween costumes. Either use white athletic wrap or even toilet paper to wrap yourself up like a mummy. You can really design this costume yourself and make it fit any way you want!
If you want the wrap to look a little more spooky and used you can brush on some dark makeup powder or eyeshadow.

Angel and devil costumes are a classic for Halloween parties. Both of these costumes can be put together fairly fast and easily if you have a party store nearby. Before buying, make sure to ask around because there is a good chance one of your friends already has wigs or horns.
I love the idea of adding a red wig for the devil costume! This makes it really cute and a little more original. You can either order a wig form Amazon or look for one at the party store.
4. Football Players
