Boo!

Since it’s the day before Halloween, I thought it would be fitting to chat about the Halloween events that I’ve attended this week. Last Sunday night, my friends and I carved pumpkins and roasted all the seeds. Check out one of the pumpkins below! On Tuesday night, I carved pumpkins again with Tau Beta Pi, a national engineering honors society in which I am involved. I collected all those seeds as well and roasted them in different seasonings. The combo with basil, oregano, and Tabasco BBQ sauce was to die for! Sometimes experimenting in the kitchen does turn out well. The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) planned a trip to a haunted house in Pasadena called Old Town Haunt, so I had to join in the fun! A group drove out there on Wednesday night to find that the haunted house was located in the basement of an old bank and the props used throughout the maze are from Hollywood movie sets including Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was very well done, and I was definitely startled twice by monsters that blended into the dark wall and jumped out in front of me. The AIChE event finished off with a visit to the world famous 21 Choices Frozen Yogurt shop in Old Town Pasadena where I ordered the Pumpkin Pie flavored yogurt with brownie mix-ins. It tasted absolutely amazing! Tomorrow night I’m planning to go to some Halloween parties with my friends, but need to go figure out my costume.

There are so many choices for Halloween costumes, and I am notorious for waiting until the last minute to find one. I was curious to know which costumes are most popular and found a quiz online at Sporcle.com that tests you to see if you can name all the most common ones. Click here to take this quiz! There are a lot of other fun quizzes on this website too if you ever need a study break. After taking this quiz, I knew which Top 20 costumes to stay away from since I like to be slightly creative with my costumes. Guess I will need to do some searching and work on this tonight. Wish me luck!

Happy Halloween!
