Haloween: A Sociological Study
A holiday where you can be someone completely different, in many more ways than one. For a college student, it means a river of alternative personalities and appearances; shy? You don't have to be. Ugly? Nobody thinks you are anymore. Not here. Not tonight. Bad mood? That can be cured in one swoop, a tongue full or a mouthful. On Halloween, anyone who wants to be a doctor can be a doctor. It's the one time of year that you can "prescribe someone 50 cc's of Cap'n, stat".
For some, it's just an excuse to go overboard. Some people need that excuse to push themselves to the limit and then some. There are a select few that wouldn't mind destroying their body every weekend, and this is just a socially acceptable outlet for them to indulge, to overdo, and to obliterate notions of moderation.
With no ciestas, universal health care and such an extreme arrogance for the rest of the world, Americans would die for holidays like this. Americans require times designated for indifference and neglect for their own well being in favor of relaxation, shortsightedness and ultimately, endorphins.
If you think there's a message here.. You're wrong. I'm just rambling.

Yeah that is true. The thing specifically that I have noticed girls like to dress more promiscuously(not all girls). it is truly a day to let loose.
as one of my suitemates told me, "halloween is the day for girls to look like sluts with out actually looking like sluts". while this can be looked at as true or false, im going to go with true because its all in good fun. unless the girl is an actual slut in general, then she might as well go as a nun or something.
