Students readied their best costumes for a night of fun at the Halloween Bash. CAB brought ghastly fun to the bayou with its annual bash.
Attendees enjoyed the free food, which included chicken tenders, eggrolls, empanadas and mini corndogs. During the first hour, many students popped in to stuff a teddy bear, similar to Build-A-Bear.
Those who stayed longer enjoyed music, participating in line dances to Cupid’s “Flex” and Young Hub City Ft. Big Zoe’s “Mr. Weatherall.” Students also took advantage of the photo booth.
Those looking for a quieter environment or simply some fresh air could move to the terrace, with a giant connect four board and cornhole.
Junior toxicology major Ella Guilliot spoke on the importance of these events on campus.
“CAB’ s main thing is making students get engaged and be active on campus,” Guilliot said. “So, having something that is interactive that students can do promotes having fun on campus and relaxing after a crazy midterm week.”
When 9:00 p.m. rolled around, the long-awaited costume contest began, featuring Bob Ross, Chappell Roan, clowns, a personification of “If Life Gives You Lemons,” and more.
The first-place group dressed as Teen Titans. Sophomore vocal performance major Dajah Taylor describes her enthusiasm with her win.
“I was excited to dress up this year because I had people to enjoy it with. We put a lot of effort into our costume, so I’m happy to have been seen,” Taylor said.
On a college student’s budget, a Halloween costume does not need to cost a fortune. Freshman unmanned aerial systems manager major Nicholas Albhonso emphasized that a good costume does not need to be designer.
“Our costumes were low cost. Most people didn’t recognize us, so I was surprised we won,” Alphonso said. “The costumes cost only $10, showing how little money you need for one.”
The bash ended with more music, and the crowd slowly dispersed.
