Halloweekend, Let's Go!

5 Differences Between Halloween in High School v.s College
Plus Quotes

After being in college for almost two months, I’ve already noticed that college is definitely on another level than high school. Although, this weekend will be my first experience of “Halloweekend,” I can already anticipate the distinct differences I will see when I go out.

1. No dress codes.

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen! No need to cover up because you know people will be flaunting what they got. I know it’s up to you to decide what you want to wear, but please remember that it’s going to be freezing outside.

2. No trick-or-treating.

Sadly, we are grown adults now (unless you're short like me and people still think you’re in middle school), which means no more going around your neighborhood and getting free candy. I guess, technically, you can still try to go around your dorms, but I wouldn’t take candy from a random college student (if you know what I mean).

3. More than one costume.

Halloweekend means going out on both Friday and Saturday night! Remember to plan two costumes, unless you want to wear the same outfit two nights in a row, which is acceptable for Halloween I guess.

4. No fancy costumes.

Ain’t nobody got time to make an awesome costume! Also, your costume will probably fall apart throughout the night, so don’t go for anything too expensive that you don’t want to lose.

5. FUN FUN FUN!

Unlike that lame high school Halloween party you went to, college Halloween parties are going to be way better. Go out, have fun, and enjoy yourself while you can! Halloween is that one time of the year you are accepted for dressing however you want.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
