As October comes to a close, let’s not forget to dress the part! Halloween was one of my favorite holidays growing up because you could get away with being anything you wanted for one day of the year. Even though college students seem to put less effort into creating costumes and celebrating the season, you don’t have to let go of the fun. Every day can be Halloween if you want it to be! Here are a few ways to keep it spooky for the rest of the year (or even into January– no one is going to judge):
