Halloween

ive always enjoyed halloween!
scary movies, costumes, candy: its definitely one of the top 10 holidays (behind christmas but before national sandwich day).
still, normal halloween is nothing compared to halloween at college and ill tell you why: girls costumes.
if youre a college girl and you cant figure out what costume to wear you can follow these helpful guidelines:
1) pick an occupation (police woman, nurse, nun, etc)
2) find a roll of cellophane the color that is commonly associated with that trade
3) wrap it around your “not until your 18s”.
there you go. youve got a costume and everyone will love it.
but, and i cant stress this enough, dont forget to wear a hat that makes it clear what youre supposed to be, otherwise there might be a really awkward moment, like when i complemented a girl on her whore costume.
she got really mad and was like, “cant you see my red miniskirt, bra, and go-go boots? im clearly a fireman!”
eventually we reached a compromise with “fire whore”, but it could have easily ruined the evening.
