It is that time of year again! You get to break the sweaters and ugg boots out from the back of you closet. Pumpkin spice is put into literally any and all possible food items and drinks. The days become a little bit shorter and the mornings are colder. Yup, you guessed it fall is upon your college campus.
Fall is a great time while you are away at school. You get to break out all those super comfy sweatshirts and sweatpants that you can wear for days on end without being judged. You get to order warm drinks again at Starbucks, at the football games there is a chill in the air and as a girl you get to steal as many sweatshirts from your guy friends as possible.
The beginning of Fall also means that Halloween is just around the corner! Now I know what you are thinking, “who cares about Halloween, that’s a children’s holiday”. Halloween might have been lame in high school because, well just everything seems lame in high school but Halloween in college becomes cool again.
Some tips for a good Halloween in college are:
- Actually dress up! Dressing up is fun and this is the one night(although in some colleges it can turn into a 4-day weekend) that you can dress up and pretend to be anything you want without being judged. Make sure your costume is creative though, being a cat or a mouse is so overrated. Group costumes are a great idea as well to get friends involved and spending time making costumes together can create some great memories.
- Do fun Halloween things with friends! Just because you are in college doesn’t mean you can’t still go to Halloween festivals. Go to haunt houses, go on haunted walks or visit local pumpkin patches. Take some time out of your weekend and have a pumpkin carving “get together” with friends. Decorating your house and carving pumpkins will get you in the spirit of the season.
- Be safe! Halloween is fun night to go out with friends but be responsible. Just because it is a holiday doesn’t mean that everyone will be courteous. Be aware of your surroundings and drink responsibly.
- Have fun! This is your night to pretend to be whatever you want so make it count! Dance your butt off and make it a night to remember!
Always Be Classy
