I have always loved Halloween. Dressing up and acting like something so much different than yourself has always been the most exciting thing for me. When I was young Halloween felt like I could do anything or be anything. However despite a million and one possibilities I dressed up as a witch every year for like 6 years...probably because my fam had this awesome cape that I loved to flap around in.
However, this year I didn't dress up. And I also didn't go to my college's biggest party of the semester. And it's my senior year. A lot of people seemed to think that I was a little insane for that, but I had an amazing weekend.
This Halloween was my first holiday being 21 (October 28 birthday baby!). And aside from a few spiked Apple Ciders, I didn't drink. I didn't party. I didn't go to a bar. I spent this Halloween with my amazing boyfriend and my family. I baked pumpkin pies with Kevin, and lost a little of my controlling grip when I let him measure out all the spices. (For the record this was a terrible idea as he didn't add any ginger and instead added double cinnamon - don't worry I fixed it). We stayed up until 2am waiting for them to cool so we could taste the first piece, and of course we watch tons of Modern Family.
We finished out the weekend trying out a new climbing gym that was kind of bleh, eating some narly scallops (it was horrid), watching the Patriot until 2am (or was it 1am...Daylight Savings!!) and just hanging out with my family. To be honest we didn't do anything, and it was perfect. I spent my time being exactly who I want to be: myself. This might be the first time in my life that I'm not trying to be someone else or even wanting to be someone else. It's pretty liberating. So I had a wonderfully unconventional Halloween, happily dating the love of my life and having an amazing weekend with him.
