Today is Cinco de Mayo. For college students, that means getting drunk before 10 a.m., heading to the last day of class and then heading to the bar after class to get even more drunk, before going to a sweet ass party to get even drunker - if that's even possible.

What's one way to spice up this already spicy plan? Dress up. The following are the Top 10 characters to dress up as.

10. A Piñata: Wear all different colors and put candy in all of your pockets. When someone hits (on) you, give them a piece of candy.

9. Sexy Spanish Dancer: This can go for either a guy or a girl. Just get a low-cut shirt, show off your chest goodies (chest hair for guys, and ta-tas for girls), and get your fingers ready to snap a lot when you sashay across the floor. Or, if you want to make it really believable, get some castanets.

8. Speedy Gonzales: A white one-sie with a red bowtie and an overly large sombrero. That's hot.

7. Zorro: A black mask and cape, and a sexy, if not totally fake, Spanish accent. This will score big.

6. Chiquita Banana: While she is not Mexican, but rather Brazilian, you can still affix some fruit to your head, put on some bright red lipstick and slap on a flowy skirt to celebrate.

5. Tila Tequila: This doesn't really require that much out of you. Throw on a bathing suit with a low-cut, see-through shirt, kiss a couple of girls, and maybe a guy or two, and you've pretty much nailed your impression.

4. Jose Cuervo: Mr. Cuervo is a mythical character, so you can use this to your advantage. Is he a siesta-taking, sombrero-wearing guy with stubble? Or, is he a cool, modern, Affliction-shirt wearing, Budweiser-ordering frat boy? You decide.

3. Overly Dramatic Telenovela Woman: Apply too much makeup and practice the back-of-the-hand-to-the-forehead pose and some key Spanish phrases like, "¡Ay Dios Mio!," "Te quiero, mi corazón" and "¿Dondé está el baño?" You should be set for the night.

2. El Patrón: A black fedora, a full on black suit and a menacing stare make for a night of intimidation. And probably some free drinks.

1. The Taco Bell dog: While you can't actually become a dog, although that would be pretty cool, you can steal his infamous saying "¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!" and overuse it until you almost get punched in the face.
