Happy Halloween everybody!! October is over...can you even believe it?? I'm still loving the weather we are having though...I can't complain about that. Well today has been a truly amazing day in my eyes. MAC celebrated it's first annual Pink Out Day. This was an idea that several of my friends and I discovered at a Relay For Life Youth Summit last fall and we decided to try it ourselves. I designed a t-shirt that my fellow Colleges Against Cancer members and I sold to raise money for cancer research. We sold over 400 shirts!!! We even had to delay the date of the event because of the high demand for shirts. It was truly moving to see so many people supporting Breast Cancer Awareness. When everywhere I looked, I saw a pink shirt, I felt like I was part of something so much bigger than myself. I guess you could say it was life changing. On a side note, all of my friends and I dyed our hair pink for the day!! I even contemplated making it permanent because it looked so good...just kidding!!

Later in the evening, my fellow members of the Residence Hall Association and I threw one awesome Halloween Dance!! In my very biased opinion, my costume was the best. Haha!! I went as Captain Jack Sparrow and joined up with my friends the Rockstar, a pack of Bubble Yum, a witch, an Oompa Loompa, and the dynamic duo of a Priest and a Nun!! Prizes were awarded to the top 3 costumes as well as the best faculty/staff member. I made the final round but lost to Raggedy Ann...what's that about?? :o) Anyway, we all had a great time and I am definitely ready for bed...now if I could just get the pink hair dye out...
