Week 3 Blog-Halloween

With Halloween becoming closer and closer with everyday passing, I can’t help but worry about my friends and what they do this weekend. Everyone knows that college students dress up on Halloween in their favorite costumes and go out to parties and celebrate by drinking and “having a good time.” But there is a price to pay usually with these celebrations. After every weekend, I usually hear from my friends about what fights happened on that weekend, or who got busted and got an underage, and I just hope it wasn’t one of my close friends. Now some people may not care or think its not a big deal to be caught by the cops, but really it is. It can affect your in so many ways that you never thought possible. One example is that if you are trying to get a new job and the person who is hiring you sees you have a dinking record, it is more likely that they will not even waste their time hiring you. Another thing I worry about is one of my friends getting hurt or in fights because of stupid things and drinking. Don’t get me wrong, I like to celebrate Halloween too, but not necessarily in the way that puts me in such a high risk of being caught or injured. Halloween is supposed to be a time of spooky nights and candy, and not one of underage drinking tickets and pointless drunk fights. So I hope that while my friends may go out and party and make dumb decisions this weekend, I hope they still have fun and can return home safe and not in trouble.
