This Halloween, I decided to go trick-or-treating. My girlfriend and I decided it would be a good idea to go deep undercover... college students dressed up and heading to a local neighborhood for a night of treats, tricks and fun. And it worked.

First, of course, we had to get a $3 Burrito bowl from Chipotle, so I sat in line at Chipotle dressed as Ezio from Assassins Creed™ and my girlfriend as a dragon. I got many compliments on my 0-creativity, store-bought costume, which was actually just purchased for disguise purposes, while my girlfriend got 0 compliments on her homemade costume.

Here are some photos of us enjoying cheap Chipotle on Halloween:

After we ate, the real mission began. Go to a neighborhood just far enough away where it will not be just student living and get candy, all disguised as young teenagers and most importantly, don't blow our cover.

We decided to trick-or-treat at Woodland Forrest subdivision off of Hargrove. I had looked up the best places to trick-or-treat and it was #1 on the site I clicked on, so it was a no-brainer.

Next, we had to find a place to park. Woodland Forrest has a golf course integrated with the neighborhood, so we decided to park there, inconspicuously.

We used the darkness to hide our matured faces and build, then headed to the front of the neighborhood.

Then we saw something that we have never seen before. People were driving their cars with their hazards on stopping at each house; there was a line of cars up and down the streets, flashing endlessly in the darkness.

Granted, it was a very large and hilly neighborhood, but that had never stopped us from walking door to door when we were kids...lazy parents raising lazy kids these days is the only explanation I can come up with for what we saw.

Moving on...

We finally made it to the front of the neighborhood but we were too nervous to roll up just by ourselves to the first door, so we trailed a Cookie Monster and a ninja to the first door. You'll never believe what happened next:

Are you ready?

I said, "Trick-or-treat," and the people at the door looked at me and said, "Happy Halloween," as they dropped a few pieces of candy in our pillowcases.

So easy... so we continued on trailing the Cookie Monster and ninja, until we lost them.

We then came to a house where they were giving out candy in their driveway. When we got the candy, they looked at us suspiciously, so as we walked away, I said loud enough for them to hear, "When are Mom and Dad getting home?" and Kourtni (my girlfriend) responded: "I don't know, maybe an hour."

It wasn't really a close call, but we wanted to be as careful as possible as to not blow our cover.

Later on that night, Kourtni had to use the bathroom really bad, so I asked a random person in their doorway if she could use the bathroom....and they said yes, but made me come in and made the rest of the family sit outside the bathroom door as to make sure nothing sketchy happened. After all, they were inviting random strangers into their home.

We kept on, without a problem, and without anyone knowing we were both actually 22-year old college students trick-or-treating. It probably was the most fun I have had this semester, and I wish I could do it every night.

When we finally pooped out, we had to secretly walk back to our car and get in so that no one saw us drive away. So, I turned on my hazards and did what everyone else was doing. I drove slowly out of the neighborhood, turned my hazards off and headed home:

Here is a picture of our loot:

Overall, it was a successful night spent with someone I love and doing something that brought me back to my childhood. It's not about age, it's about bringing back memories and making new ones with those you love.

So, if you're brave enough, or don't have moral panic about the idea of trick or treating in your 20s, I suggest you do the same.
