When you get to college, you quickly realize that halloween is no longer a one night experience. Halloween at Tufts is a three night party! Given that Halloween is my favorite holiday, here is a list of my Halloween do’s and don’t’s for Halloween at Tufts:
Do: Come up with a fun and creative Halloween costume!
Don’t: Try to sexualize every costume idea possible… It just doesn’t work sometimes.
Do: Have multiple costumes prepared. Halloween is not a one-day festivity.
Don’t: Wear the same costume every night. Especially without washing it…
Do: Put candy outside of your door! The Medford/Somerville area is filled with families that will be trick-or-treating on Halloween. You don’t want to be the lame neighbor, do you?
Don’t: Eat all of the candy before Halloween. (I’m entirely guilty of this one).
Do: Clear your weekend. Since Halloween is on a Friday this year, that means you should start making plans to get ahead of your work early.
Don’t: Sprint the marathon. No need for your Halloweekend to be ruined after one night.
Do: Watch Hocus Pocus (because it is THE best Halloween tradition!)
Don’t: Start decorating your house for Christmas just because it is November the following day… Too soon.
