5 Things Not to Do This Halloween

Royall Bryan
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CNU chapter.

Halloween is arguably the best holiday of the year. People get so creative with their costumes, and it’s a great time to let loose (perfect for right between Fall Break and Thanksgiving Break).

This Halloween, there are a lot of things that you should probably stay away from doing. Some of these can lead to arrest, or you feeling a lot of pain the next morning.

Dress up as a clown.

Get blackout drunk.

One more time for the back: Dress up as a clown

Not have fun.

Now again, because I don’t think all of you got it: Did I mention to NOT DRESS UP AS A CLOWN.

Stay safe and classy this Halloween, Captains!
