Halloweening!

First off, a recent discovery: Halloween gets so much hype in college. I don't know, maybe I should have expected it, but people were partying about a week before Halloween. For example, on Thursday night there was a dance party being driven in circles around the dorms on a huge flatbed truck. Creative, no? [:

Anyway, here are some of my Halloween adventures!

On Friday there were some pretty fantastic costumes on campus. For instance, I had an encounter with a hobo outside the science building.

I also got to see my Geology teacher as a prison inmate (complete with arm and neck tattoos) and my Astronomy teacher as Professor Dumbledore. Perfect [:

What good is Halloween without a few haunted house thrills? I went with some friends to one in Salt Lake that was voted best in the nation. It. Was. Terrifying. I will admit, I screamed/almost cried/covered my eyes/jumped out of my skin/did all the other things wimpy people do. And I did them a lot. In my defense: I was at the back of the group, so I was always the one who got picked on by all the friendly haunted house people with chain saws and bloody axes. Luckily I had a buddy to hold on to during the 35-minute nightmare, and I was really quite impressed when he came to school the next day with his arm fully functioning. I'm pretty sure it received no blood supply during the entire thing due to the death grip I maintained.

This was just walking around while we were waiting in line outside! Horrifying!

Everyone was alive afterwards [: so we made a Denny's trip to celebrate.

I, like a Boy Scout (and a broke college student), believe in being thrifty. Therefore, here is my completely free and somewhat lame Halloween costume. But I was a happy lioness just the same.

Rawr.

I had such a good time with some friends at a "Minute to Win It"-style Halloween party on Saturday. After some ridiculously funny challenges like "Face the Cookie," "Bobblehead," and "Elephant Walk," Team 2 was victorious. Huzzah. [: We finished off with pizza and a movie.

P.S. Some of these pictures are from Kirst- she got some good ones!

Bobble those heads, boys! [:
