November Gala : My first WMSU Halloween experience and the School USC officer induction amidst Halloween extravaganza
As the sun starts to dive in the horizon, i heard the campus begins to howl music, and i found myself thrust into a weird blend of excitement and awkward confusion. This wasn't just any Halloween bash—it was the eve of a wild extravaganza, the night of the school officer oath-taking, and the moment my sweater decided to take on a gang of goofy, haunted dresses of people. Talk about a night to remember!
As i stepped into the school ground, the gravity under my eyes sunk short. I see people coming in with their trick-or-treat costumes, all mostly in black get -ups.
My sweater? Totally not keeping up with the cool crowd. It was like a peek-a-boo moment on my part.
When the dawn kicks off with this whole induction thing. I'm checking out the new leaders' faces, and even though I don't know any of them, there's this cool vibe of camaraderie mixing in with the Halloween fun.
So, in the middle of the crowd, someone spills the beans – there's this freaky house all set to give the Crimsons a good scare. Everyone can go in by five, and folks can't help but wonder what cool, spooky stuff awaits inside. Like, how wild did they go transforming our school space, you know? I couldn't even help but marvel a thought.
And then just after our first scream with the four of my classmates echoed, I've realized that the once mundane corridors now adorned with cobwebs, solemn pumpkin candles, spooky decoration and our journey to the leading room was a spur-of-the-moment jumpscares and shouting all over, adding a thrilling chill to the atmosphere, seeping into the fabric of my sweater.
Here's a clip that captures our craziness 📸::
Upon reaching the end of what it seems a long dim tunnel—with all the adrenaline, panting and sweat, I just took a sec to think about how this Halloween vibe totally flips the script on our small, kinda 'not on it's good shape' campus.
Sure, the place isn't a towering building with vintage libraries, like any other colleges, but guess what? We manage to pull off an awesome Halloween bash with what we've got.
It's like our school's signature style – making the most of what's around, no need for fancy stuff. Halloween here isn't about a huge setup; it's about all of us getting into the spooky spirit together and whatever shivers our spine that came with it.
Later in the night, there were dances, singing performances, and storytelling each exerting effort, submitting to the ambience. Horror movie trailers were brilliant, from the cast to the cinematography, it feels really great that everyone on the intermission is down to put everybody on the edge of their seats.
On this very magical celebration, we let ourselves drunk in the beat of the music, under colorful lights, Laughs were shared like inside jokes, and cheers still echo in my ears. My sweater even had a showdown with some fancy cloaks, Halloween OOTD, and chill dresses on the red carpet – a night to remember, for sure!
In the end, when the clock struck late, and everybody's going home, there we were – me in my cozy sweater and sleeping pants.
Everyone still rocking their makeup.
Stepping out into the quiet night, I couldn't help but feel this cool vibe for the school, the awesome event team, and every pic that caught the essence of my first WMSU Halloween bash.
Yes, no more euphemism—but here's what, to experience Halloween at Western Mindanao state university (WMSU) was the coolest thing so far happens to me this year!
