10 Reasons Village Treats is the Best Day All Semester

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Skidmore chapter.

If you’re living in an apartment this year, I have good news: the best day of the year is here! If you’re wondering what day, exactly, that is, well, wonder no more—it’s Village Treats!

One day per year, us college students get to experience the very real-world delight of being a destination for trick-or-treaters, and it’s pretty much the best thing ever. So plan out your costumes and get ready for the best day of the year!

1. Kids running around in costumes! Seriously, nothing is cuter than this.

2. Kids explaining what their costume is.

3. Kids appreciating the true value of candy. 99% of kids I’ve met would do just about anything for candy, and it’s hilarious.

4. Seeing adorable little friends come trick-or-treating together. THEY JUST LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH.

5. When they leave your house and run to their parents and yell “MOM! LOOK WHAT I GOT!”

6. The satisfaction of being a house with the “good candy.”

7. Sometimes there are literal babies in the tiniest costumes. Call me sentimental but nothing gets me quite like that does.

8. DOGS IN COSTUMES.

9. When the kids compliment your costume.

10. Just being able to do something to make them all happy!

Ella is a sophomore at Skidmore College in upstate New York, where she is studying religion.  Outside of school, she lives just south of Boston, Massachusetts, with her parents, three younger siblings, and four small dogs, which gets pretty crazy.  She loves music, fashion, and food, and wants to travel the world someday.  
Gwen is a senior, English major, and co-CC of Her Campus Skidmore. She spends a lot of time watching Pretty Little Liars and Fixer Upper, listening to music, staring at her comptuer screen and wishing words would come easier, and waiting for the New York Islanders to win another Stanley Cup (preferably at the Coli). Also, she really likes cheese and is trying to learn to skateboard. It's not going very well.
