I did find a website with really cute Halloween facts, so of course I'm posting that here:

Since today is Halloween, I've decided to take a look back down good 'ol memory lane at my past Halloweens. This could get embarrassing but I'm doing it anyways. I've always loved Halloween but I haven't always been able to do much for it because I've always worked in a bar or restaurant and since Halloween is kind of a busy holiday for bars and restaurants, I have usually always had to work. So, this walk down memory lane is starting 3 years ago when I was 22.
I dressed up as a lady bug. This was a last minute costume decision because I hadn't planned on having the night off from work. The costume was a size Large and I had to pin it back so that I didn't look silly. This was my first year at ISU and this was one of my roomies dressed up as a candy corn witch. We went out to a couple of bars and watched a band play at the infamous nightclub 'Daddios' which was the bar that everyone ended up at because they had cheap drink specials. So by the end of the night all of the girls were falling out of their costumes and guys were puking in corners of the bar and trying to drag the sluttiest indian princess, kitty cat, or lady gaga home with them. I ended up not feeling very well this night (not even because of alcohol believe it or not!) so I drank a total of 2 coors lights and went home to bed where I stayed for the next 2 days because I had the flu.
The next year was my senior year of college.
I dressed up as an Indian and the boy I was dating at the time dressed up as a cowboy. I have clearly cropped him out of the above pictures because, frankly, I don't think he needs to be anywhere near this blog, nor does he need to be talked about ever again. The costume was super cheap and kept ripping so by the end of the night I was wearing sweatpants. I went to SIU Carbondale this year, which is know as being a party school. We hung out at a winery during the day to watch our friends, who were in a band. That night said friends hosted a big Halloween party which ended up sloppy of course. Not my favorite year.
Last year I had just moved to the suburbs of Chicago right before my birthday so I didn't make any plans to do anything on Halloween, mostly because I didn't even have a job so I didn't want to waste money on a costume or on drinking.
My parents came to town for my birthday and we went out to dinner and then randomly ended up at a friend's Halloween party. Obviously we didn't have costumes so my friend who was hosting the party reached into his big bag of costumes (seriously, he had one) and picked out a few costumes for us. I was given the bumble bee costume, my mom wore a biker chick wig with an attached hat, and my dad was given something stupid that he obviously decided not to wear for very long. I don't even remember what it was. This night actually ended badly but while these pictures were taken we were having a good time!
So there it is, my walk down Halloween memory lane. Not as exciting as I thought it was going to be. For Halloween being one of my favorite holidays, I really have never done much. Maybe next year when I have an awesome job and am making tons of money, I will throw an awesome Halloween party and dress up in a bomb ass costume. Haha, what a joke! Me, making tons of money, good one!
Welp, while I have a nice relaxing Halloween night I'll be thinking about all of those skanky college kids, getting f*cked up and skipping class tomorrow. Ahh, those were the days!
Happy Halloween and remember...
...don't drink and fly!
