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.

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…

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.
