Halloween is day away, and NASH students are preparing in all sorts of ways.
“I love all the vibes centered around Halloween,” said junior Maddie Rogers. “The autumn atmosphere, scary movies, pumpkins, leaves, everything.”
Whether it’s dressing up, going out, or just enjoying the holiday, NASH students love Halloween, and they especially love it this year, as there is no school the following day.
“I’m having a few of my friends at my lake house in Erie,” junior Emily Dorman said.
Junior Logan Purnell also plans on getting together with friends.
“I plan on going to some get-togethers and hanging out with friends. I don’t take my costume or Halloween seriously. It’s meant to be fun,” he said.
Some students just want to go out, eat candy, find last-minute costumes, and have a laid back Halloween night.
On the contrary, some NASH students, such as senior Chloe Violet, know exactly what they’re doing tomorrow.
“I’m going as a mermaid. I take my costume very seriously, I bought a lot of stuff. That’s my favorite part, dressing up and putting everything together,” she said.
Junior Kailyn Marunczak is planning a joint costume idea with two of her friends.
“I’m going to love taking pictures and posting them on Instagram and other social media, because we’ll look good. Halloween is not exactly my favorite, so i’m not taking it too literally, but it’s going to be fun,” she said.
Rodgers already has a specific plan.
“I take my costume very seriously every year,” she said. “This year I am going as Tigger from Winnie The Pooh.”
Of course, the debate over age-appropriateness regarding trick-or-treating is heating up as Thursday evening approaches.
Violet, however, is not over-thinking the matter.
“After hanging with my friends at a little party, I’m going trick-or-treating with my sister,” she said. “Candy is candy. One hundred percent, going as a high schooler is fine.”
Rodgers agreed and said, “Free candy is awesome and trick-or-treating is fun to do with your friends.”
Halloween is meant to be a fun time no matter how it’s spent — trick-or-treating, hanging out with friends, eating candy, or watching horror movies.
“You are still a kid even if you’re a high school student,” Dorman said. “Have fun until it’s time to go to college.”
