I remember being a little kid and getting SO excited for Halloween! I remember bugging my mom about what time we would start going Trick-or-Treating and planning my costumes weeks in advance. I would run up to the houses in my neighborhood and scream "TRICK OR TREAT" with my pillowcase already open and a smile on my face. I was so happy to get those king-sized candy bars and would end the night totaling up everything I got on my couch.

Fast forward a decade and here I am, a senior in college on Halloween. As I sit here writing this, I have absolutely NO idea what I want to be. That level of excitement that I once experienced as a child is simply not there.

I am sick and tired of Halloween and the rain outside is not helping either. To me, it has become just another college party, expect with people wearing some questionable outfits.

Sure, some of these costumes are pretty creative (and shoutout to those people because I could NEVER think of something clever like that), but the majority of the time it's just girls trying to show some skin. Gone are the days of people dressing scary in favor for something that attracts the attention of their peers.

I miss when Halloween was such a pure time, children walking around with their parents in hopes of ending the night with bags full of candy. It was a lot more simple back then, just like everything else.

Of course, I do still plan on going out tonight despite having an early class tomorrow, but it will not be the same. It will just be another night out with my friends at the bars, expect with us wearing some ridiculous outfits.

If anyone wants to go trick-or-treating though, I am more than down!
