Happy Halloween!

🎃 A Spooktacularly Funny Halloween Guide for UK Students 🎃

Hello, ghoulishly great students of Swansea!

It’s that time of year when the leaves turn crisp, the nights grow longer, and the campus becomes a playground for witches, zombies, and the occasional over-caffeinated pumpkin. Yes, it’s Halloween, and we’re here to make sure your October 31st is filled with laughter, frightful fun, and just the right amount of student-style mischief.

1. The Pumpkin Spice Predicament

It’s pumpkin spice season, and let’s face it—if you don’t Instagram your pumpkin spice latte, did you even have one? But beware of the “basic” stereotype! If you’re going for that perfect autumnal vibe, remember: the only thing more cliché than your pumpkin spice latte is your roommate’s attempt at carving a pumpkin that looks suspiciously like a squashed potato.

2. The Costume Chaos

Ah, Halloween costumes—the ultimate test of creativity and procrastination. You had all month to plan, and yet here you are, last-minute shopping for a “DIY” costume that will probably just be a combination of everything you found in your laundry basket. If all else fails, just grab a bedsheet and go as a classic ghost. Minimal effort, maximum effect. And hey, it’s a great way to dodge those awkward “who are you supposed to be?” questions.

3. Haunted House Hijinks

Who’s up for a haunted house adventure? Just remember, when you scream like a banshee in the dark, you’re not alone. The person in front of you is probably screaming too, just with their hands covering their face. Pro tip: if you’re the designated “brave one,” try leading the group. It’s less about bravery and more about sheer panic.

4. The Post-Halloween Hangover

After a night of partying, the inevitable Halloween hangover will set in. Your room will look like a scene from a horror movie—empty sweet wrappers, confetti, and an inexplicable amount of glitter. Embrace the mess as a badge of honour and let it serve as a reminder that you survived another year of student life. Bonus points if you use the glitter to make your hangover look more festive!

5. The Legendary Candy Stash

If you find yourself with an absurd amount of leftover Halloween candy, you’re not alone. Use it wisely. Trade it for something valuable—like extra sleep or a Netflix subscription. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, create a candy buffet for your study group and watch as everyone’s sugar rush leads to the most hilariously productive study session ever.

Have a fang-tastic Halloween, everyone! 🎃👻🕸️
