Frizz, the Whiz

Halloween in college still baffles me. I find it amusing how Halloween is really fun and cool until you hit like 7th grade and become "too good" for it, and then you get to freshman year of college and all of a sudden it's back.

I suppose saying Halloween comes back is incorrect, because it is an entirely different holiday when you are in college. It is the one weekend, yes weekend, of the year when dressing like a two-bit whore is not only acceptable, but encouraged. I saw a group of five girls dressed as the slutty versions of the following: A pirate, fire fighter, racecar driver, nurse, and police officer. Quite possibly the most cliche bunch of the night.

I firmly believe that if you choose to dress slutty on Halloween then your freshman year is the prime time to do it. How else could you so easily exude your sexuality and use it to get older guys to like you and buy you alcohol? Once you hit sophomore year, though, it is time to get creative. I get sad when I see people my age still pulling the same tricks as the freshmen girls because, let's face it, once you are in your 4th year of college you are not only an adult, but it is likely that the years of dining hall food combined with hours of sitting and studying have wreaked some sort of havoc on your body. I saw more costumes that were scary due to the amount of excess flub pouring out of them than I was of the costumes covered in blood and gore.

Time to get creative, young adults. Save your lingerie for the bedroom and Halloween in college can be a more aesthetically pleasing experience for all.

And cheers to being Miss Frizzle for a night. I never realized how many people loved those books like I did!
