10 Halloween Struggles

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Wyoming chapter.
  1. Having to throw together four different costumes, because you have four different parties to attend, and you could never wear the same costume twice.

  1. Realizing how much money you spent on alcohol this weekend, because getting drunk in costume is way more fun.

  1. Braving the cold because you couldn’t wear a coat, it would cover up your really cute costume.

  1. Buying candy for the trick o treaters that might come your house, when you know you are eating it all yourself.

  1. Trying to carve a pumpkin with a super creative design and you realize pumpkins are not your ideal art medium.

  1. Not being able to trust anyone in a clown costume.

  1. Having to deal with cute couples and their cute costumes when you’re single.

  1. Spending two hours on cool Halloween makeup and scaring yourself when you look in the mirror later that night.

  1. Keeping your mouth shut when you see a culturally appropriated costume.

  1. You’re not mentally prepared to let go of your love of all things Halloween, but don’t worry this is just the start to the holiday season. Let the countdown to Christmas begin!
