Forget what you thought you knew about Halloween – when it comes to college, this holiday night is an entirely different spectacle. From costumes and parties to the weekend-long celebration, Halloween becomes more than just the 31st of October. Here’s what to expect when the end of October rolls around:
Â
1. People going out no matter what night Halloween falls on.
Â
2. Girls dressed like slutty animals… or basically slutty anything.
Â
3. Make-out sessions between the weirdest of costumes.
Â
4. Lost props/costume attire lying around the parties and streets.
Â
5. Packs of sorority girls in matching costumes.
Â
6. The guy wearing a “This is my costume” shirt.
Â
7. The adorable couples costumes that remind you of how brutally single you are.
Â
8. No candy anywhere… but plenty of alcohol.
Â
9. The people who took the “black and orange” theme of Halloween to a new level with their “blackout.”
Â
10. The a**hole who decides to be a clown and scare everyone.
Â
11. Halloween night somehow becoming an entire weekend.
Â
12. The people who actually spent and wasted money on a real costume.
Â
13. Most of all, everyone having fun acting like kids again on the best October night(s).
Â
Happy Halloween, collegiettes!
