Sorry it has been such a long time since my last update. There is so much to say, but I am just going to cover one aspect of my recent history in this here blog: HALLOWEEN!
Part of our group headed to Dewine's: A Gumball Machine, Jazzercise Instructor (Me), Dr. Hammer, Ellen Degeneres, & Miley Cyrus
Halloween seems to stretch further in to the regular week every year. Friday night I headed up to Purdue with a friend of mine for a Halloween party there and then Saturday night was the real fun and it took place right here at HANOVER!
President DeWine throws an annual Halloween party at her homestead. The entire house, all three stories, is open for students to peruse and explore; out front there is a fire pit with all the necessary s’more supplies and then in back is where it’s all going down: cookies, crackers/cheese, hot cider/chocolate, and MUSIC!
Everyone tended to hang out in the back and socialize. Oh, did I mention there is a highly competitive costume contest? Well, there is. There was a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner this year. First went to two American Tourists, one of which really is from Iceland; they stayed in character all night!
Second went to the Spartan Cheerleaders of Saturday Night Live who also maintained character by doing all sorts of HILARIOUS cheers throughout the night. Finally, third place went to the Black Knight of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. President DeWine herself was the first female graduate of Hanover College, complete with era attire and even a legit name tag to top it all off.
Needless to say, Halloween is always fun, but here at Hanover we kick things up a notch — in case you couldn’t tell.
But, this is just a tiny glimpse in to my recent happenings; stay tuned for a look back at an Intensive Inquiry on Mountaintop Removal that I went on over fall break and the Bob Dylan concert I am going to tonight :)
