WHO: Sofie Daniszewski, freshman, sociology and citizenship and civic engagement major
WHAT: Otto the Orange
WHY: “It was funny because it’s so straightforward yet not a lot of people think about it. I think getting people to laugh or getting a, ‘Oh that’s really clever,’ reaction out of a Halloween costume is super cool.”

WHO: Elizabeth McMahon, freshman, political science and public relations major | Evan Donohue, freshman, anthropology major | Grace Bourbon, freshman, biology major
WHAT: Alvin and the Chipmunks
WHY: “We saw a TikTok of three guys doing that costume and we thought that the characters matched our personalities and that it would be fun. We also wanted a night out where we could wear a t-shirt and sweatpants,” McMahon said.

WHO: Allison McAteer, freshman, political science and public relations major
WHAT: Sabrina Carpenter, the singer-songwriter responsible for hits like “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.”

WHO: Micol Ceccarini, freshman, sociology and citizenship and civic engagement major
WHAT: Queen of Hearts
WHY: “I bought a top and was able to use a hot glue gun to glue an old deck of cards that I had on it. It was a fun process and I was able to do it with my mom over fall break which was a bonus.”



WHO: Meghna Bharath, senior, information management and technology and business analytics major
WHAT: Cat in the Hat
WHY: “I decided to dress up as Cat in the Hat because it was my favorite movie as a kid and the character is iconic.”

WHO: Brielle Brzytwa, freshman, sociology and citizenship and civic engagement major
WHAT: Magic Mike, the titular character of the 2012 comedy about male strippers.
WHY: Brielle chose to be Magic Mike because her friends wanted to be pixie hollow fairies, and she thought the contrast was funny.

WHO: Shamila Santana, senior, business analytics and finance major
WHAT: Race car driver
WHY: Shamila chose to be a race car driver because she thought the aesthetic was creative and interesting as well as inexpensive to recreate.

WHO: Julia Bossis, junior, television, radio and film major
WHAT: Amy Winehouse
WHY: “I’ve always loved Amy Winehouse, especially her music. She has always been an inspiration of mine.”

WHO: Max Oberacker, freshman, political science and citizenship and civic engagement major
WHAT: Where’s Waldo, the famous main character of a British series of children’s puzzle books.

WHO: Zahara Williams, freshman, law, society and policy major
WHAT: Angel
