Halloween doesn’t stop once you get to college. There are many ways that people celebrate all around campus.
Dress up!
In my opinion, this is the key to having fun on Halloween. You don’t have to wear your costume to class, but it’s so fun seeing when people are dressed up! My personal favorite costume was Jeff Probst from Survivor.
Eat in the Dining Hall
Not because it’s scary, but because they have themed food!! The bright green mush on those plates was actually very delicious mashed potatoes (they called them “Monster Mash”). There was also a cookie and cupcake decorating station with candy and frosting!
Okay so I was a little too scared to try the Halloween themed pizza, but Sayles and the other cafés also have themed food and drinks!
Trick-or-Treat
Every department across the campus has Halloween in their offices, so both college students and local children can experience the joy of free candy!
Hangout with Friends
It’s fun to hangout by playing some card games or watching some spooky movies. I love any excuse to be with friends, so Halloween is a really exciting time for me.
Of course it’s optional to celebrate Halloween, but it is much more fun to at least get dressed up.
