College students everywhere are known for their less than spotless dorm rooms, littered with socks, trash and everything in between. It's not usually a problem for them either, until they trip over a hairdryer getting ready for their 8 a.m. lecture or drink a bottle of lotion instead of their Aquafina in the middle of the night.

Halloween when I was little was like my favorite Disney movies all in one place. There were Little Mermaids and Belles as far as the eye could see, with the boys dressed as ninjas or Power Rangers. The idea is typically the same in college, as everyone buys the same costumes at the store and wears them with different shoes and with different hairstyles. Still though, the repetition kind of takes the fun out of Halloween for me, which is why I’ve been making my own costumes for the past few … [Read more...]
