October has come around and that means one thing; Halloween. People who enjoy Halloween look forward to it because it is a time to get plenty of candy. Some people enjoy Halloween for the chance to dress up, while others tend to avoid getting dressed up or getting into the Halloween spirit.
Janelly Zarco (Sophomore, Liberal Studies) said, “No, I don’t really like to get dressed up anymore for Halloween. I feel that I have outgrown it in all honesty.”
Many people leave costume shopping for a few days before Halloween because they don’t have time to go buy costumes.
Unlike Zarco, many others enjoy dressing up for Halloween. Marlon Mejia (Junior, Biology) said, “I like dressing up for Halloween since its a day to be someone else. I am thinking that I want to be a serial killer.” Mejia said.
Not everyone can afford to buy costumes that they are only going to wear once. Some consider making their costumes at home. People on a budget can definitely still go all out dressing up for Halloween. Halloween is rapidly approaching and people must start getting their costumes in order.
