Initially, I was hesitant about attending this event, as I hate getting my hands messy, and just thinking about carving an actual pumpkin made me feel slightly nauseous. However, when my friends and I were at the actual event, I did most of the carving simply because I was not only enjoying it, but it was also an awesome activity that proved to be an outlet for all the stress that had accumulated that week. I was stressed about the myriad of upcoming exams and quizzes; however, in that moment I truly enjoyed myself with some of my closest friends. We ended up naming our pumpkin and took an embarrassing amount of pictures with it.
