I made a TikTok doing this, so if you’ve seen that, I’m so sorry you get it again.
HIGHSCHOOL: HARRY POTTER
I did indeed go as Harry Potter for Halloween maybe three years in a row. I was obsessed. This picture from 2014 may be the only documented picture of me in the costume. I remember owning a Gryffindor colour scarf therefore I had to be Harry. My costume consisted of scarf, blue polo shirt, spandex shorts, knee high socks and movie theatre glasses. Absolutely no creativity and lazy execution. RATING: 4/10
FIRST YEAR: FRAT BOYS
This one took a lot of planning and was surprisingly expensive. We all went to Old Navy together to get matching outfits. Looking back, with my first-year physique, it was not very flattering, but I did not care I was determined to wear it. It was honestly pretty comfortable, and we got a lot of compliments for our execution. RATING: 7/10
FIRST YEAR: FIRST RESPONDERS
Individually this costume is super lame. There is nothing original about a police officer. However, with all of us coordinating it was cool, but honestly the coordination was only apparent in this picture. Probably 30 seconds after this photo I was just a solo police officer. I did have a lot of cool accessories for this one and I felt snatched. RATING: 7.5/10
SECOND YEAR: HIPPIE
This costume is tragic. First off, my tan is straight up orange, so I looked terrible in all the pictures and probably in person too. Secondly, all I did was wear a stripped dress and wore pink sunglasses and declared I was a hippie. I did like the dress though. RATING: 3/10
SECOND YEAR: GOLD DIGGERS
Picture this, it was the day before Halloween, Claire and I had no clue what to do after the hippie costume fail so we headed to Moncton. We walked into Party City and stared at the colour wall looking for inspiration. Eventually we landed on the colour gold and the rest of the costume flowed. The only thing we were missing that really held us back was shovels. Not many people understood what we were, but whatever. I regret wearing fishnets and having my boobs out this much, but it was a sign of the times. RATING: 7.5/10
THIRD YEAR: ALIEN
Iconic, amazing, beautiful, showstopping. This fucking costume is everything, from the loud fan blowing into the leg to the fake limbs hanging everywhere. When Madeleine and I showed up to the party in these we were immediately completely out of place, but it didn’t matter because I felt extremely confident. Highly recommend buying a blow-up costume from Amazon. RATING: 15/10
FOURTH YEAR: BALLERINA
Pro-tip: tutu’s snatch your waist in. I felt so confident and cute in this costume. I remember running around Sackville completely carefree. I don’t always dress super girly, so it was a nice change to strut around in baby pink. We got the tutus from Party City and the long sleeve situation and shorts were from Ardene’s. Not everyone understood the costume, many assumed fairies, but I loved it. It also gave me free reign to do ballerina poses all night. It was a really good time. RATING: 9/10
