So not everyone knows, but Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. The best part is, there are 5 nights of it here at Iowa! I get to dress up funny and do weird stuff all day, without getting too many awkward stares. Costumes are always an important part of Halloween and this year, I had two. First, I was (am) a nerd. That costume looked like this: 

Then later this weekend I attended the midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show, as I do every year. I highly encourage this event, it isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you like weird humor it will keep you laughing the whole show. For this event I dressed as Brad Majors, one of the main characters. I don’t have any pictures of it yet though, but I’ll keep you posted! (He is sort of a nerd, so the outfits are similar.) I hope everyone’s Halloween was as eventful as mine!

Homecoming is such a fun time here at Iowa, and the weather has been awesome! I was able to check out the parade, which was really neat, and there is just a lot going on on campus. So many different events occur around homecoming like concerts, residence hall socials, and a bunch of other stuff. Right before homecoming Active Minds did “Stomping Out Stigma”. The event was a success. Here is a picture of my friend Gail holding all the stigma balloons.  Speaking of Stigma and other scary things…There is no shortage of fun with Halloween coming up. It is my favorite holiday and I can’t wait. This year I’m wearing a Tron costume that I will post pictures of later. 😀 Also, I’m going to a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show,which, if you have not done, I highly recommend it. This year I will be dressing up as Brad, and accompanying me will be the always lovely Stephanie as Janet. It isn’t the most amazing movie when you watch it alone, but the midnight showings are great!
