Halloween — the holiday every kid looks forward to because they know they are going to get buckets and buckets of candy in just a few days. The day where everyone gets to dress up as their favorite superhero, villain or princess. A day filled with scary movies, candy apples, haunted houses, pumpkin carving and chili cooking contests. We all get to the age where we eventually have to stop trick-or-treating (sad day), so we either take younger siblings or find a party to go to. When you get to college it is a whole different story. Yeah, maybe you buy some candy just because you have an excuse to eat it, but now it is all parties. Now it is when you get to dress up as something you can't get judged for. You can express yourself however you want to. Halloween in college is a blast and here is why.

1. Costumes

In college, you start planning your Halloween costume a good month in advance. You really cannot be judged for anything you want to wear. You can dress as slutty, scary or funny as you want. People come up with the most clever costumes, and it's actually a blast to see what everyone can come up with. Some girls aim to look slutty, which is fine because this is the one day that nobody can say anything. Some people aim to look funny because why not? Halloween is so fun and you get to be someone different for a night.

2. Multiple Nights

Halloween in college is not just one night. It's basically a whole weekend. It could even be a week. The amount of parties people throw, or different social events your university has, and also Greek parties is ridiculous. This also means multiple costumes. This also means more money. This also means by the end of it, you are dead.

3. Candy

This isn't much different from childhood, but I still love my Halloween candy. I'll eat a bag of it myself if I have to.

4. Scary Movies

I am obsessed with scary movies, and this is the best time to watch them. They never, ever get old.

All in all, Halloween is lit whether you're in the sixth grade or in college. It'll never get old. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
