Fall has always been my favorite season. I’ve always been excited for the changing colors of the leaves, sweater weather, football, hot chocolate, and Halloween! Pumpkins are such a crucial part of fall; many foods are made from them and pumpkin carving is a fun activity for people of all ages. While I’ve only carved one pumpkin in my life, I was glad I was able to carve the second at Rose house. Because there weren’t enough pumpkins for all of us, we paired up and carved pumpkins together. This was fun because I was able to further bond with my suitemates! We took turns carving and taking the guts out of the pumpkins. Finding a design for the rather large pumpkin was difficult, but after browsing the internet, we decided on a haunted house and tree. I enjoyed the extra perk of Halloween music and candy that was handed out about halfway through carving. I would have enjoyed if we could use the guts of the pumpkin for other uses, like in food or other things. However, all in all I thought the event really put everyone in the Halloween spirit and added a spookier feeling to the Rose community. I’m always happy when I walk around and see awesome pumpkin designs around campus.
