Your Guide To Having The Perfect Lehigh Halloween, As Told By "Mean Girls"

Besides Le-Laf week, Halloween is a favorite time for Lehigh students. Dubbed "Halloweek," it is five nights of costumes, crazy parties, and tons of fun. Here's a quick guide for all of you nervous about the upcoming celebration.

1. Five days means five costumes.

Here at Lehigh, we don't only celebrate on October 31. We have a whole week of awesome Halloween-themed parties. Unfortunately, this also means that you need a different costume for each and every night you go out. Don't worry, though! Ask your friends if you can borrow anything they might have. This week should be fun - don't break the bank!

2. Plan a group costume.

Nothing is more fun than getting together with a group of your friends and dressing up together. Chances are you'll get tons of compliments and some awesome pictures.

3. Be Unique.

Nothing is worse than being incredibly excited about your costume, walking off campus, and seeing three other cats running in your direction. Think outside the box! The more unique the costume, the more people will take notice.

4. Go out as many nights as you can.

Halloweek only comes around once a year, so take advantage of it! Whether or not you have a perfect costume for each and every night, it's fun to go out and be with your friends. It's worth it. Trust me.

5. But know your limits.

Remember that even though parties are happening every night, you still have to go to class! Going out every night can put a strain on your body, and you can get sick. Don't go out if you have a lot of work to do! Take a night off if you have to. Remember, there are five days of Halloweek, and if you miss one, there are still four more!

6. Be responsible.

It's not a big secret that drinking is a favorite past time of a Lehigh student. On Halloween, adrenaline runs high, and everyone is super excited to celebrate. If you choose to drink, keep track of how many you have had and cut yourself off when you've had enough.

7. Because nothing ruins the night more than being too drunk.

You don't want to ruin your, and your friends', night by being the person that gets sick. You're going to have much more fun this week if you are careful. Pace yourself!

8. But most importantly: Brace yourself, Lehigh students, it's going to be lit.

Just wait, it's going to be awesome.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
