So in the midst of midterms, I somehow forgot that this Saturday is the biggest party night of the year. Or so it’s being made out to be. Has Halloween always been such a big deal or is it only a big deal now because most of my friends (unlike me) have graduated and have grown-up plans for the holiday?

Hm. In any case, I currently have no costume, no dogsitter, no pre-game plan, no post-game plan, and no, uh, game plan. I should probably get on this. I do have an inbox full of Boston-area Halloween events, so there’s some hope, but I kind of feel like I should try to party this one last time on a college campus, since I will soon no longer have the excuse to do so. I will, however, shoot myself if I have to do Heaven & Hell at Harvard again. It just isn’t going to happen.

So … MIT? Grad school parties? Someone, help! The German will also be out of town so I can’t even coerce the one coerce-able person in my life into matching costumes.

What’s something last-minute and scary that I can be for Halloween? A feminist?
