It's time for Halloween and it doesn't even feel like it!!!!

Right now is somewhat of a depressing time for me, for different reasons.  #1, I have like ten thousand things to do in the next two weeks.....and I'm not looking forward to it....and #2, this weekend is Halloween weekend, and for the first time in my 20 years on this earth, I don't have any plans or even a costume.  I'm really ok with this because this weekend is Parent's Weekend, and my mom is coming up to hang out and be cool with me, and my boyfriend is coming into town too!  (Mom is leaving dad at home because he has a lot of harvesting to do, and this way we can have more fun and just do our own thing!)  But at the same time, I can't say that it isn't depressing for me to not have an awesome Halloween or day before or day after planned out.  Trick-or-Treating was basically my favorite thing to do during my years in elementary, middle, and high school, so last year was a big step for me to not go Trick-or-Treating for the first time in a VERY long time.  Luckily, I got to supplement my Halloween weekend with Sigma Nu's party, VooDoo, last year, but of course, this year they aren't having it....so I guess that I will just not be celebrating Halloween.  :(  In the spirit of good ole Halloween fun, however, here I am over the past few years.....loving to get dressed up.

Waiting in line for VooDoo last year with Taryn and Scott...

Trick-or-Treating for Unicef a few years ago

Trick-or-Treating senior year of high school....

And another night of Halloween from last year!  :)

So, as you can see....I really enjoy Halloween.....and I wish that I had plans for it this year, but I guess I'll just have to deal with not doing anything then... :(  So since I am not getting dressed up, here are some tips if you want to......Girls:  if you want a cheap costume....check out Wet Seal or Charolotte Russe for their clearance racks.  Last year I got 2 costumes for like $10, simply because they were on like 99% off!  :)  So I highly recommend doing that....especially since they sometimes have relatively crazy things there.... :)  Guys:  I don't have any real advice.  sorry....haha.  But if you need more ideas....I really appreciate this website....and this clip from SNL.  :)  Basically, you should check both of them out, and use at least one fo the suggestions.  :)
