Funny Halloween costumes always bring a lot of life to the party. Do you like to be the center of attention and get your friends to smile and laugh!? Who doesn’t love to make other people happy!? Dressing in a funny Halloween costume is a sure-fire way to make new friends at the Halloween party.
In a college town, you’ll see huge groups of people walking together in their costumes, making the night so fun. By dressing up as something funny and recognizable, you will have people coming up to you and commenting on how great your look is.
From my experience, Halloween is one of the best college weekends of the school year. It’s a weekend to go outside of your comfort zone. Dressing up means you can take on a new persona for the night!
