October is my favorite month because it’s filled with pumpkin painting, fall decor, and dressing up. But spooky season is prone to lots of disasters, too. Your perfect costume might not come in time, or you might wait outside Tav for an hour just to get denied. Keep scrolling to see the month of October at UConn as told by GIFs from Saturday Night Live.

1) Trying to get through midterms

No one wants to take an exam at 8 a.m.

2) Having your third pumpkin iced chai of the day

Bookworms, anyone?

3) Spending way too much on fall decor

Because everyone needs at least 12 different scented candles.

4) GOing Apple-picking just for the donuts

And maybe for the cider, too…

5) Trying (and Failing) to carve a pumpkin

The mess in your living room is never worth it.

6) When none of your friends will go trick-or-treating

7) When your costume doesn’t make it out of the mailroom in time

I know it’s in there somewhere…

8) getting ready to go out with the girls

The night is going to be perfect! Everyone’s going to get along!

9) when your college bar charges a cover

Don’t get me started on LineLeap, either.

10) When someone says they don’t understand your costume

There’s nothing more frustrating than this.

11) when you just want to leave and get sgt. peps

How’d we end up at this post-game, anyway?

12) when It’s finally oct. 31

Time to catch up on sleep.

The wait is over— it’s finally October! Here’s hoping that all our costumes fit and at least one of our events goes as planned. But if not, that’s okay, too. We’re just happy it’s fall.
