What Dressing Up for Halloween Means in College

It means getting ready a little earlier in the morning because you actually care about what you look like.

My poor rejected bed. How I yearn to sleep in you.

It means being one of two people dressed up in your programming class, the other person being a friend of yours who you encouraged to dress up when she was on the fence about it.

It means being (possibly) the only person dressed up in your religion class.

It also means potentially getting extra credit on your religion midterm. By which I mean your religion professor comes up to you before the test and says the you get extra credit but never making it clear if he actually meant that of not.

It means being one of two people dressed up in your econ class, though this time you and the other dressed-up person don't know each other.

It also means being one of two kids in your econ class to get candy.

That's right suckers! Get it? Suckers? I'm funny, I swear.

It means walking past people and seeing them smile.

It means walking past people and seeing them roll their eyes and give you a look that says, "Really?"

It means people coming up to you and saying they like your costume.

Or at least, that's what it meant for me today.

Happy Halloween!

This is from Saturday. For today I swapped the pumps for pink converse and carried an apple.
