So today is the first day of November which means I have less than two months at Ithaca College which is a bit sad. But let’s not think about that just yet, this blog I wanted to talk about my great Halloween weekend. On Friday night, I didn’t know that I was going to dress up, but apparently the whole weekend is Halloween themed, not just the day of Halloween, so I spontaneously dressed as the Statue of Liberty (luckily I had a souvenir headband and my roommate had a green-ish coloured sheet I wore as a toga).
Some friends and I went to a few parties where I met a football player, a pirate, a french maid, an apple tree, the Scooby gang, JD and Turk from Scrubs and countless other people. It was a really fun night. The next day my roommate and I went as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum from Alice in Wonderland. We didn’t really have the exact costumes that they wore but they looked quite similar and most of the people we spoke to agreed.
That night we went to a frat house at Cornell but unfortunately the partied had finished so we only stayed there for ten minutes. But just looking around the house was pretty cool, I’ve never been to one before but I’ve seen them in movies and that’s exactly what the house looked like. Seeing the frat almost made me wish Australian universities had Greek life because they’re so community orientated it’s nice. We ended up back at Ithaca College and had fun wandering around meeting people including Dumb and Dumber.
Overall the Halloween weekend was really entertaining and I had a lot of fun dressing up and meeting people. It’s definitely an American tradition that I’ll be celebrating when I go back to Australia. Next blog I’ll tell you all about my first “Ithaca is Gorges” experience.
Hooroo!
