#HALLOWCOMING Recap

This year at UNH, the administration came up with the bright idea to pack two of the craziest party weekends into 1. Nicknamed, "hallowcoming" on Twitter by @Prezhuddleston, and tweeted about from the moment it was announced, the kids at UNH were anticipating nothing less than the craziest weekend of their life, and (good or bad) I think it's safe to say that #hallowcoming lived up to it's wild expectations.

 Now that the weekend of craziness has come to a close I think it's only fair to recognize some of the best (and the worst) parts. First let me start by giving you a weekend line-up of activities. People began getting into the halloween spirit on Wednesday night with a shmorg of creepy eat and halloween treats by UNH dining. There were a few interesting characters who thought it would be fun to dress up for this night making dinner all the more entertaining for those of us who didn't. Although I spent the night catching up on homework the following "thirsty Thursday", I could tell by the yelling and screaming outside my dorm that some people made it out to celebrate the beginning of the weekend. Friday was the parade and BBQ, followed by a night spent by most wandering around in skimpy costumes looking for the best party. Saturday morning kids and alumni alike dragged themselves out of bed to kick off the football tail gate. If you're convinced that drinking cheap beer and dancing around in the mud can't be fun, you're very wrong. It seemed to me like everyone was having the time of their lives preparing for the football game they probably didn't make it too, scroll down for some hard evidence. UNH also played a game of basketball where they were handing out free t-shirts to the dedicated fans that resisted taking a nap to cheer on their team. Finally was the hockey game, an interesting event to say the least. In case you missed the BLIZZARD that hit New England Saturday night, it set the mood and dimmed the lights for pretty much everyone from Connecticut to New Hampshire! The hockey game went pitch black a few times but the fans held their ground for the half hour game delay to watch the wildcats claim a W. If you think a little snow was going to stop college kids from dressing up half naked and running around Durham, you're sadly mistaken. Power out, party on nothing was stopping the dedicated cats and police officers from strutting their stuff on the dance floor. Thank God I was dressed as Princess Leia, equipped with my turtleneck and earmuff buns! The power is back on in the dorms, but the rest of Durham is left in the dark hoping that classes will be cancelled and we all have one more day to recover from the #hallowcoming festivities.
