As someone studying off campus this semester, I’ve been behind on the gossip. The word around town, the “juicy stuff,” so to speak. So imagine my surprise when I find out that the administration has let Spirit Halloween take over Colburn Hall to give the on-campus students a spooktacular surprise for Halloweekend. 

According to my super secret, totally legit and definitely real sources, a lack of “spooky energy” on campus triggered the drastic decision. The goal is for students to browse the mid-priced Halloween costumes until they feel inspired enough to go back to their dorms and DIY a costume based on something they saved from Pinterest.

I’m not complaining, though. It’s a great use for Colburn while all-campuses are on pause, and it looks like the bright orange banner has reinvigorated the spooky vibes on campus. Either that, or the ghosts and ghoulies are possessing people again. I guess I’ll have to visit my local Spirit Halloween to find out.
