A Week of Halloween

The weather is getting colder and the ghosts and ghouls are starting to come out so spend your study break doing something special for this Halloween week. There's so many ways to celebrate and a number of activities going on around campus to choose from.


Horror Movie Fun
I know I'm not the only scary movie buff out there so for all of us thrill seekers, have a horror movie marathon with your friends to get everyone in the Halloween spirit. There is a scary movie showing in my room every night til Halloween and all of my friends are having so much fun seeing the iconic and most bone chilling movies.  Last night was Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and I think tonight will be a more recent thriller like Paranormal Activity 2. So finish your homework early, grab a redbox or netflix movie, and let the fun begin!


Campus Craziness

If you don't want to be held up in your room scared to pieces, then surely you can find something around campus that you may find appealing. On Wednesday, Trinity Pikes are hosting their annual Heaven and Hell party. Costumes are heavily encouraged so don't forget your pitchfork or your halo.  Another fun activity happening around campus is the Rocky Horror Picture Show.  It is a rock musical play put on by Trinity students based on the iconic 1975 movie.  It is quite the experience that you don't want to miss.  Some other things happening around Trinity are the Scary Storytelling Contest and the trick-or-treaters that visit the resident halls. So stock up on candy corns and start planning your costumes because this week will be filled with Halloween fun!

GET IN THE SPIRIT LIKE THIS KID!

Helpin' Out and Havin' Fun

At some point, we all get wrapped up in school, work and ourselves, and we forget about how important it is to give back to the community.  I say, kill two birds with one stone and take time away to involve yourself in some of the following activities that benefit great organizations

NIGHTMARE ON GRAYSON

Get in the Halloween spirit and visit san Antonios finest and spookiest event of the season.  Nightmare on Grayson is a legendary haunted house that is guaranteed to scare you socks off.  The generous people of Nightmare on Grayson have teamed up with Gamma Chi Delta to raise money for the annual Concert for the Cure fundraiser to support the American Cancer Association.  So go out and buy a ticket for one of the most infamous Halloween experiences and support the cause!

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

If this does not sound like your idea of fun and you'd like to have a more direct impact on you community, look no further than Habitat for Humanity.  Habitat for Humanity is an organization that build decent and simple houses in hopes to eventually get rid of poverty housing and homelessness.  You can volunteer with a group of friends or go alone and make some new ones!


Whether you decide to get involved in these great opportunities or stop by the local pound and volunteer to take care of puppies for a couple of hours, giving back to the community has never been more fun.  take some time to get educated about all of the organizations out there and all the easy ways you can help and have fun doing it.
