![]() I heard that the haunted house was really well done, but I was not willing to test it out. I’ve never experienced a pandemic-free Halloween at ERAU, but this year there was a surplus of events. I thought Halloween was great this year despite the pandemic. Riddle-sponsored Halloween events were after that, but one student hosted a bonfire in the fire pit by New Residence Hall Phase II, which several other students attended. I also got two certificates.Īfter the costume contest, Touch-n-Go, the entertainment division of the SGA, screened The Nightmare Before Christmas. I got a $10 Starbucks gift card for the win in each category, and the People’s Choice win also came with a Cards Against Humanity set. I ended up winning the Blue & Gold category and the People’s Choice category. While that happened, the judges determined the winners. To vote, students scanned a QR code and voted on a CampusGroups poll of the entrants. He is accompanied by two flag carriers and a member of the Embry-Riddle Flat Earth Society.Īfter all of the judges had judged the costumes, they announced that voting for the People’s Choice costume was open. One of the funniest group costumes (in my opinion) was this group of guys: Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the UK, has made an appearance. The costume contest was very entertaining for both spectators and entrants. ![]() There was also a photographer from the Student Engagement & Student Union department, and he took photos of all of the contestants. The process repeated until every costume in the category was judged, and then it started all over again. Contestants would then state what they were to the judges and student body before walking off to the side. Once the judges were ready, they then walked in front of the spectators and the judges’ table. Once the category was announced, the entrants lined up on the side. The judging committee consisted of a few students, one of which was the SGA president. My costume fit best under Blue & Gold, so I chose that category. There were seven categories: Best Group, Blue & Gold, Scariest, People’s Choice, Most Creative, Best Homemade, and Air & Space. Our friends eventually got her to go through it, but I decided to be a chicken and not give myself nightmares.Īt 7:30 there was a costume contest in front of the student union, and I decided to enter it. I tried to go in with my friend, but we chickened out three times. Inside the student union, the school had set up a haunted house. There was plenty of treats at different tables: candy apples, bags of candy, hot apple cider, and even full-size donuts. ![]() I met a few friends outside of the student union, and we explored the festivities. On Saturday, the Halloween events started at 6 PM. Since I’m in Florida, I overheated very quickly and changed back into my Miss ERAU costume, which I wore for the rest of Friday. However, the heat and I did not get along. I even stuffed some papers in a pink folder to make the Burn Book: I used two paperclips, one at the top and one on the bottom, to help make the cross, and I was good to go! I walked around campus as Miss ERAU on Friday, and then had plans to be Regina George on Saturday. With a little help from the SGA, I was able to borrow a blue graduation stole to make my sash. This year, Miss America is a pharmacy student, and she often wears her lab coat on her Instagram, so I decided that “Miss Riddle” could be a CFI. The Embry-Riddle certified flight instructor (CFI) uniform consists of a white polo, black pants, and black closed-toed shoes, which was pretty easy to replicate. I had a crown, so I threw on a white shirt and black pants and decided to cross over the beauty queen idea with the flight instructor idea that I’d had earlier in the year. On Friday, I decided to dress up since I saw several others doing it. However, I was able to come up with two low-effort costumes: Regina George (from Mean Girls!) and Miss ERAU the CFI. ![]() This year, I didn’t have too much time to come up with an amazing costume, and I didn’t have too much money to spend. Some of the candy buckets are still there. I noticed a few doors being decorated, and some other people left free candy outside of their dorm room for the entire week preceding Halloween. The Honors Student Association hosted a door decorating contest, room decorating contest, and costume contest that all of their members were invited to participate in. Each treat bag had a drink (some had Starbucks Frappuccinos and Gatorades!), a full-size candy bar, a bag of chips, and a small bag of fruit snacks. The student government association (SGA) also had free treat bags for students in the Student Leadership Suite all week, which was very nice of them. Embry-Riddle hosted several events this year despite the pandemic: Well, now Halloween is over, and so are the Halloween events. ![]()
