Halloween, one of the most widely celebrated holidays in the U.S., is quickly approaching.
Halloween’s biggest traditions include dressing up in a costume, knocking on people’s doors and asking the age-old question, “Trick or treat?” MSMS holds an annual Halloween event where students can dress up and participate in trick-or-treating at the residential dorms. That means it’s the perfect time to learn what your costume choice says about you.
The Hastily Put-Together Costume
You have a lot on your plate, but you always get it together right before the deadline. You are probably involved in more student organizations than you can handle and signed up for all the AP classes. You’re a serial procrastinator and held off on buying a costume until the last minute.
The Big Three (witch, vampire, zombie)
You appreciate the classics and aren’t afraid to show it. You have a clear vision of your future: married with a stable job and two and a half kids. You either planned to be one of the three from the get-go or grabbed one of the dusty, pre-worn costumes from the back of your closet.
Pop Culture Costume
You keep up with the rest of the world via social media. You most likely have a bubbly, extroverted personality and are up to date with all of the latest Gen Z slang. You’ll probably see many peers in the same costume as you. Let’s hope you don’t have an inferiority complex.
Funny Costume
You don’t care what others think of you and live your life confidently. You love to bring positivity to those around you and are probably considered the funny friend of your friend group. Keep being confident! You’ll go places with that attitude.
Niche Costume
You aren’t dressing up for the general population but rather the few who recognize your costume. You’re secretly the coolest person in school, and you know it. You’re ready to info-dump on anyone who looks vaguely interested in your attire.
Group Costume
You have zero clue what to dress up as for Halloween, but luckily, you’re part of a friend group that does. Whether you want to or not, you’re going to get the short end of the stick and end up as Scooby Doo while the rest of your friends are the cool human sidekicks. You’re either the life of the party or the person standing awkwardly in the corner; there’s no in between.
No Costume
Come on. You have to at least work for the candy.
