Ghosts and goblins will be prancing around campus on Friday, Oct. 31. Just because those at Cabrini are not at home with their childhood friends, it does not mean that they will not be dressing up and begging door-to-door for those sweet treats.
Cabrini students will be sporting a number of different costumes around campus. Several of the Resident Assistant's will be returning to the '80s in their decade-appropriate clothes. Cats, zombies, pirates, and angels will also be popular disguises for the fun-filled night.
Students plan to go trick-ortreating in order to de-stress and just have a good time. Sophomore said, "It's a great night to let go of all your problems and just have fun, like when you were a little kid."
For many freshmen students, this will be their first year not dressing up and going trick-or- treating. Freshman Chuck Jaxel said, "I would dress up if I were going home, this is my first year not going trick-or-treating. I keptdoing it back home because all of my friends went"
