Halloween is that magical time of year where you can dress up as someone you aren't and eat as much candy as you want. Sure, it used to be more fun when you were little, but Halloween in college is still good, right? Instead of walking around outside and getting free candy usually wearing a coat that ruins your costume, you can wear whatever costume you want cause you're probably going to be partying inside.

1. Your costume

You're an adult, so you can put together the best costume without worrying about anyone's approval. The only restriction is your budget, which is a big restriction.

2. Student Organization parties

You're involved in a lot, so the week of Halloween, you go to every one of your student organization parties wearing the same costume. These parties are fun but not crazy, which is probably a good thing.

3. Not school related parties

These are the parties where you wear your sexy costume and freeze walking from your car to the house. These are sort of like the student organization parties but with less ice breakers and more alcohol.

4. Staying home

Parties aren't for everyone. Yeah, you miss dressing up and going out, and you miss seeing the cute trick-or-treaters. But since you live in a dorm, you don't have to share your candy with anyone, except maybe your roommate.

5. Watching Halloween movies

I love Halloween Town as much as the next person, but movies you watched as a kid just aren't as good when you watch them later. That won't stop you from watching the entire series, Hocus Pocus, and Harry Potter though.

6. Watching scary movies

Scary movies are basically Halloween movies, so you mix candy into your popcorn and play your favorite scary movie series.

6. Eating Halloween candy

When you were little, you probably used to dump out your candy and trade with friends. Now you only buy the kind you like and eat way too much of it since there's no one to stop you.

7. Staying up until midnight

Even when Halloween was on a school night, I would stay awake until 12 AM, the witching hour. It used to be magical even though nothing special would happen. Now you stay up past midnight on a regular basis, and it's magical if you go to bed at 11 PM.

8. November 1

When you were little, you would go to school the next day still full of candy and excited to eat more. Now you wake up hungover, you fight the crowd at Walmart to get your discounted Halloween candy, and you're ready for Thanksgiving Break. It's officially time to start counting down the days until it's Christmas.
