As devastating as the storm was in some areas, it gave us WNE students a relatively calm mini-break the week of Halloween. This mirrors the one we got last year when the big snow storm hit us. Because we had Tuesday off, I went with some friends to see Cloud Atlas at the Rave Cinema in the Eastfield Mall. As I mentioned in a previous blog, all movies are $5 a person on Tuesdays. It was a very long, complex movie but still held your interest until the very end.
On Halloween, I dressed up as a zombie. Campus was very festive and many students had on costumes too. On the first floor common room in Commonwealth, there was a little Halloween get-together. There were nachos, cookies, candy, and apple cider. There were also Apples to Apples, bobbing for apples, Halloween trivia, mummifying contests (where you wrap your partner up in toilet paper), and king-sized candy prizes for the winners. Even the dining hall had a themed dinner with foods like “bloody eyeball pizza” (meatball pizza) and “fried maggots” (rice stir-fry). Some of the staff members dressed up in costumes and the whole area was decorated. Though I was unable to attend, there was also murder mystery dinner held in Rivers and tickets were only $3. It was a fantastic Halloween on campus!
As a side note, I was selected for Alternative Spring Break! Hopefully I’ll be working with low-income families in Radford, Virginia with the “Rice and Beans” project during spring break in March. I’ll let you know when I hear more details.
Catch up with you later,
Brandi
It is really good to celebrate your Halloween vacation with your family to have happy bonding with them. Glad that you shared you experience with us. I enjoyed reading it.
