1.Unlike the need to have creative and original Halloween costumes or search the thrift store racks for old Christmas sweaters, St. Paddy’s Day is one of those holidays that makes it easy on us broke college kids. Just browse through your closet (or even your friends’ closets) to find anything green that will get you into that St. Paddy’s day Mod party.
