Halloween is different for every age group. For young children, it is a night to dress-up and eat lots of candy. For middle-schoolers, it's an "uncool" holiday to ignore and pretend like it doesn't exist. For high schoolers, it's an attempt to dress "cool" and attend a party that somebody might "sneak some beer into." For parents, it's a night to spend dishing-out overpriced candy to under-appreciative children.
And, then, there are the college students.
It seems to me that college students take any opportunity to drink; Halloween may be the holy grail of drinking and promiscuity. Students across the nation dress in extremely inappropriate outfits, drink excessively, and enjoy their weekend of false identity. While some students may display low levels of wit and humor by displaying a unique costume, most just see what they can make out of the clothes they already have. Because in their mind, nobody will notice their costume after a few beers anyway.
So a word of caution, fellow collegiates: just because you're in costume doesn't mean you're somebody else. Give your decisions a second thought and this weekend will inevitably turn out a bit better than expected. Also? Cover your ass - nobody wants to see that.
