As we head into the second Halloweekend of 2013, it’s all too easy for our costume closets (and creativity) to start to run low. Never fear–just look around you for some inspiration from the big H itself!
The 3 Things You Have to Do Before You Graduate. Cough, cough, y’all know what to do.
Drew Faust. If you do this one, send us pics. Bonus points if you nab a photo with her too!
Tour Guides & Tourists. Be creative, there are so many options for this one. Just don’t forget your camera.
River Run. Have the freshman even heard of it? Do the sophomores even know about burning the boats? Let’s bring tradition back to the institution that values it most.
Ec10 / CS50. …And you can’t cop out and just wear the shirt.
The 12 Houses. Disclaimer: Requires 11 friends for maximum effectiveness.
Matt Damon & Ben Affleck. You won’t be as hot as they are but it’s worth a shot.
Crimson. Is this, like, a mascot? Just cover your entire body in a giant crimson pair of tights.
Finals Week. The begin, middle, and end.
The Lamonster. Terrifying, elusive, and dangerously disheveled. Pro tip: maximize accuracy by pairing with “Finals Week” or “Ec 10 / CS50.”
The Thesis Strugglebus. Don’t expect to be able to use your arms, what with all the books you’ll be lugging around… And please, no “bumpy ride” jokes, for the love of John Harvard.
Last, BE CREATIVE and be yourself! Barr Yaron ’14 wins our best Harvard Halloween costume for the year with her rendition of Senior Bar(r). Last week, this campus cutie rolled up to the Senior Bar Halloween Night with a shirt that said “seniors” and had our staff in stitches all evening.
