halloween at college with no trick-or-treat-ers, no holiday-themed word-searches, no costume parade and no cider is beyond unacceptable. the integrity of the occassion has been completely compromised. today, like any usual monday, i went to my three classes, i did my sorority time and found myself, at 10:22, sitting in the midst of an eerily quiet night. and not eery in a magical, halloweenish kind of way; but eery in its lack of doorbell ringing, trick-or-treat screaming, sugar boosted youngsters. i feel old and disconnected from the real world, where the smell of warmed pumpkin carcasses and the crunch of fallen leaves go on, unappreciated. happy halloween, all.
over and out.
