Once a year, we all get to be something or someone we aren’t. There is something extremely fun and satisfying about dressing up in a costume and getting to live a different life, even if it is just for one night. Who says you need a nursing degree to be a nurse? On Halloween, you can be a nurse and shove candy corn down your throat while you're at it. Here are five reasons halloween will forever be the best holiday.

1. You get to pig out on candy with zero judgment

Everyone goes ham on the candy so there is no room for judgment. Eating your weight in Twix bars at least once during the halloween season is pretty much mandatory.

2. The best parties are Halloween parties

Why does alcohol taste better when you are dressed up in a costume? The world may never know, but we definitely are not complaining.

3. You get to let your decorating skills run free

Stringing up orange lights and making fake spider webs is the best, and seeing other houses show off their decor skills is an added bonus.

4. The costumes... Obviously

Picking out the perfect costume is one of the biggest thrills of Halloween. You go through an emotional roller coaster - should I play it safe and be a cat, or should I spice it up and go for something more unique? Getting to see the fun, crazy costumes everyone comes up with is exciting too.

5. Everything is pumpkin flavored

Yes, that is right. The best flavor in the history of flavors comes out to play during the halloween season. This is the time to load up on Bath and Body Works pumpkin scented candles and body sprays, and, obviously, pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks!
