If the smell of pumpkin spice and rubber celebrity masks has told us one thing, it’s that the most frightening time of year is here- I’m not talking about Halloween. I’m talking about the 3 day long event that is Halloweekend.

Leave it to us college students to turn an otherwise innocent costume oriented evening into a binge drinking fest. Below are some tips for making the best of and surviving halloweekend this year.

 

 

1) Come up with an innovative costume idea.

 

 

 

2) Make that 3 great costume ideas….

 

4) Embrace your inner makeup artist.

 

 

 

5) Get in the spirit with the phenomenon that is pumpkin spice.

 

 

 

6) In fact, embrace pumpkin everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7) Throw a party that’s a graveyard smash.

 

 

 

8) Don’t be shocked by anything you see.

 

9) Always say yes to candy.

 

 

10) Most importantly, remember that Halloween only comes 1 (or 3) times a year!1

 

 

So make the best of it!
