Yes, it is that time of the year again. As we begin to see the telltale signs of ghosts, goblins and other dark creatures we know that Halloween is slowly approaching.
As Halloween begins to creep up on us many students are beginning to make plans with friends. Students are starting to decide which costume to wear and where they will be going on the big night, October 31.
While there are still about three weeks until the big day, there is already a lot of buzz and excitement around campus. Many students are discussing the Halloween weekend, which has become a popular event with students at SHU.
"I am not sure what I am going to do yet but I will be with my friends," said junior, Adrienne Kupka, Huntington, N.Y.
This year Halloween falls on a Monday. This means students have all weekend to celebrate and if you are lucky enough not to have an early class Tuesday, then you even have Monday night to get your fun in. For those students who are 21 and over, you are not just limited to parties; you also have the option of going to a local bar on this spooky day. For those students who aren't of legal drinking age, might be interested in attending Halloween themed parties.
"I will probably dress-up and go to a house party with my roommates, or Harborside," said junior, Jenna Coccia, Johnston, R.I.
Some students said that they are planning on partying at Harborside that Thursday. This seems to be popular because it is 18 to enter and 21 to drink so everyone 18 and over can go.
Whatever students plan on doing, one thing is for sure; being with friends will make for a great night.
The next big question is, "What should I dress up as for Halloween?"
Some of the more popular well-known costumes are witches, ghosts, and vampires. However, many students refuse to settle for the traditional costumes.
Every year students seem to become more and more creative. The costumes seem to become more elaborate, unique, and often quite funny.
It is amazing to see just how resourceful students can be on a limited budget. The results are often great!
Many feel that one of the best parts of the night is seeing what other students came up with and who has a never before seen costume. Last year many students opted to dress-up with their friends in a group as a theme. There were armies, sports teams, gangsters and groups of schoolgirls everywhere.
Some students also dressed for a particular period in time, such as the seventies and eighties, which consisted of eighties hairstyles and leg warmers or seventies bell bottoms, afros and polyester.
Whatever students decide to dress up as, the results are sure to be great. Halloween this year should be filled with friends, candy, fun and maybe a few scares.
