Halloween

My friends and I sophomore year as sushi.

Halloween is by far my favorite time at William and Mary. Even though it’s June and Halloween couldn’t be farther away, I have to talk about it. At William and Mary, all things are a little quirky and unique – Halloween is definitely one of them. If you were to visit any college campus on Halloween, you’d be sure to find guys dressed up as 3D pitchers of beer and girls dressed in what let’s call “provocative and risqué” garb.

My friends and I junior year as a bubble bath and rubber duckies.

This is simply not the case at W&M. Here, Halloween is essentially a competition to see who can come up with the craziest and most creative costume. Everyone gets very into it. One year, girls in my sorority dressed up as a 3D game of Tetris – each girl was a separate block, and together they all fit together. Another girl I know dressed as the glowing Crag Mountain from the Nickelodeon show “Global Guts.” I am always blown away by everyone’s costumes – it is so William and Mary to have over the top creative costumes.

Sophomore year, my friends and I dressed as 3D sushi rolls complete with soy sauce bags. Sure, we couldn’t fit into any parties since we couldn’t make it through doorways, but we certainly were rolling in style. Junior year, my friends and I dressed as a bubble bath and rubber duckies. The more ridiculous, the better, and I’m already brainstorming my costume for senior year – this one has to blow them all out of the water.
