Gone are the beliefs that Halloween is for little kids, they\u2019ve been replaced with \u201cHalloween is a time for more drunken antics\u201d. Whether you drink or not two things are for sure, you will be peer pressured into dressing up and you will have a damn good time in doing so!<\/p>\n<p>Halloween is a very popular night so it\u2019s important to know where you\u2019re heading. I\u2019m not saying plan your nights out weeks in advance but have a rough idea where. At Kent you have a good selection but let&#8217;s be real about this \u2013 Venue or Massive Mungoes?<\/p>\n<p>Possibly the most important part of Halloween is to get the costume perfect! Here are my personal guidelines:<br \/>\n&#8211; You want an outfit that you can move in &#8211; there\u2019s nothing worse than stumbling over and not being able to get back up.<br \/>\n&#8211; Avoid anything inflatable! Blowing balloons up and attaching them to yourself becoming a giant bunch of grapes isn\u2019t as good as it sounds. Drunk people will sandwich you popping them all leaving you smelling like rubber.<br \/>\n&#8211; It\u2019s cold outside! Regardless of your destination, you have to leave your flat in order to get there. It\u2019s approaching winter so take a coat. If you insist of dressing like a bunny similar to those found in popular teen movies such as &#8216;Mean Girls&#8217; \u2013 wear a trench coat.<br \/>\n&#8211; Do not underestimate the amount of Zombies! \u201cI\u2019m so original going as the undead\u201d. Trust me when I say you\u2019ve never seen so many zombies before. Why prey for a zombie apocalypse? Just come to Kent on Halloween \u2013 there\u2019s less eating of brains.<br \/>\n&#8211; You\u2019re never too old to stick a sheet over your head and go as a ghost \u2013 you\u2019ll be seen as being ironic.<\/p>\n<p>All kidding aside, Halloween in halls is a blast. Have fun, be safe and look out for your friends.<\/p>\n<p>Ps. People don\u2019t actually knock for sweets at uni \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/kentstudents\/mario-elia\/\">This post it by Mario Elia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Believe it or not &#8211; Halloween is a big deal at university.
