I have began to realize that every where I turned, there was a new Converse tradition that I had no clue about. They all seemed pretty cool and I had slowly started planning certain things that I could do. For example, I asked my CA if we could do something like a Halloween Party on our hall. Now, I know that's not a exact "tradition" that you would usually see, but it COULD be pretty close. But then I started to realize that there was so much stuff to do for the other holidays and seasons, but not enough for Halloween. (As a small side note, Halloween is my favorite holidays of all time)
Seeing as we have a dance for 1889 Week and before Winter Break, why couldn't we start up a Halloween dance? It would basically resemble a normal dance. Instead of getting all dressed up like you were going to some sort of wedding reception, you would dress up in your Halloween costumes! There would be typical fall activities to do like pumpkin carving and bobbing for apples... And there would be Halloween themed treats to snack on while you were out having a blast! At the very end of the dance, a few people would be picked out of the bunch with certain titles. Titles like "the scariest costume" or "the prettiest costume." These girls would get prizes for working hard on getting these titles. After the competition, everyone would dance a little more and go home!
As short as that paragraph seemed, I did have a couple more ideas to talk about. But these ideas aren't necessarily solid and don't really pertain to the main idea. They can be included though. Some girls could dress up as guys like a prank and come in to parade around (sort of like I Felta Thigh :D), making a big commotion. It would all be out of fun though. Nothing to terrible to scare people off like Full Moon (yuck). Speaking of which, Converse needs a tradition of getting some smart people together and finding out who does the Full Moon pranks. Sure, it ruins Full Moon, but at least it'll stop the inconvenient pranks for some time. Sorry about that, I wasn't too happy to find out about the morning psych class and the alarm that went off, destroying their time to prepare for the test.
I actually feel like making the Halloween dance a tradition on campus for next year. So if anyone wants to help out with my idea, we can try and see if we can get it done! I think it's a really cool idea and it'd be fun to start. :)
Interesting idea--dances really are a lot of fun, as is dressing up. And there's actually a long tradition of Converse women dressing up as boys-- I'm sure Dr. Willis would be happy to tell you all about it!
