So this year I decided to take a different approach when it came to costuming. Most of the time we choose a figure outside of ourselves, whether it be a politician, an imaginary character, or an inanimate object like a pumpkin. However, I decided to be my former self.
Now, this may sound a bit strange, but I have gone through many phases in my life. So I decided to dig out all my old clothing (plaid pants, punk tee, spiked belt, etc.) from when I was a member of Social Dropout, a punk band for which I played guitar in middle school. It was really a nice blast from the past, and made me a bit nostalgic for the angry political music about which I was so passionate.
An athlete, a robot, and a punk; what a great combination!
My friend Lauren had a get-together in her room at which we told ghost stories, ate candy, and listened to some music. It was really fun, but dorm rooms are not exactly the most ideal spot for parties, since they usually only hold 5 individuals at most. However, we jammed 15 or so people in there and made the most of it. Afterwards, we headed downtown and listened to a band play. It was great to see all the fun costumes at the venue. I saw several Sarah Palins, a huge amount of Jokers from Batman, and a mix of hillbillys, cops, and the traditional pumpkin and witch.
Now it is November, the second half of the semester is underway. It is time to figure out schedules for J-term and Spring Semester. I am hoping to get into all the classes I want. It is always hard to tell how things will play out, but we shall see.
I am also getting very excited and quite nervous for election day tomorrow. It has been so long in coming that it is hard to believe that it is all coming down to tomorrow's events. If you haven't done so already, get out there and vote. Ignorance is bliss, but it doesn't help the situation at all.
Well, I hope you are recovering from the stomach ache that comes with Halloween candy, and I wish the best to you and yours.
Peace,
Collin
