Hamilton, NY — It’s finally the best time of the year! Colgate’s beautiful leaves are changing, midterms are over, the smell of pumpkin spice and artisan beer is in the air, and freshmen are stealing gourds from Frank once again. With the changing of the season also comes freezing flash-sleet storms and the ever-so-sweet conversations that determine your Hallo-week costumes.
Some like to find the perfect blend of sexy and creepy looks, some go for cute and friendly, and others go for funny and recognizable. In the end, it’s about having fun with your friends and consuming as much…uh, candy, as you can. Questions often bounce around: “what can we go as as a group?” or “I just want something cheap and easy“ [ed. note: referring to a costume]. This year, everyone was on the same page but also made the grave (haha) mistake of not consulting other friend groups.
“I thought Where’s Waldo was easy and just obscure enough for it to be unique…” many of the Waldos agreed. Ironically enough, Waldo was almost impossible not to find when everyone came in red-and-white stripes to the party. “It’s the only costume we have organized anyway so I guess this is what we’re getting for the rest of the week.”
The reaction from the angels’ side was drastically different. “Honestly, who cares? We all look bomb as hell and no one’s judging anyone for dressing more or less revealing than anyone else,” an angel with a purple teddy and robe remarked. “Seriously, the more the merrier,” a pink angel agreed, “it looks like we all did this on purpose, and now we have comfy-ass robes and hot underwear to keep.” Empowered women empower women!
Even though spooky season is coming to an end, that doesn’t mean the constant flow of cider, donuts and sunday scaries has to end. Keep building up that winter-bod to get ready for overnight snowstorms and 4pm sunsets!
