The annual Pumpkin Spice Latte has made an appearance at Starbucks which means spooky season has magically arrived. People of all ages have embraced Halloween for its thrills and chills over countless years. From pumpkin patches to corn mazes, the “spooky spirit” has cast itself into virtually everything with special made drinks, haunted houses and social media trends. In past years carved pumpkins, fake spiderwebs and gravestones can be seen on houses all around the neighborhood waiting for eager trick-or-treaters to ring their doorbell. It’s the time where people start to decorate their houses in Halloween decor and search for the perfect costume. Halloween is the one night out of the whole year where people can dress up as anyone they want. The holiday is one that many look forward to each and every year. Unfortunately, while costume parties being one of the things students look forward to, COVID-19 has prevented these types of gatherings from occurring. Many have questioned if trick-or-treating is a thing of the past and is there a point in celebrating this holiday? Whatever the case may be,  Seawolves have spoken on whether they will be participating in dressing up to let Halloween magic into their homes.
