ARIES
Take a moment to appreciate the beautiful fall weather. It’s nice and chilly! It’s best not to think too hard about the cold spots you may pass through in your dorm.
TAURUS
Seek out your favorite candy! Who cares if you can’t really find it in stores anymore? Do they still even make it? I sure hope so.
GEMINI
Watch something scary tonight. I won’t. I saw the trailer for “Lights Out” in fifth grade and I still haven’t recovered from that experience, but I believe in you.
CANCER
I think you should re-wear your favorite childhood Halloween costume. Kids are so creative, how could you ever top your ten-year-old self?
LEO
Stay away from the skeletons in the Deece. You know the ones. They know you too.
VIRGO
Research the history of the Jack-o’-lantern. It’s quite interesting, and it would enhance your experience of walking around campus. There’s nothing like a Wikipedia rabbit hole!
LIBRA
Go on a ghost hunt in the dorms. If you do it in a different dorm than your own you reduce the risk of being haunted, probably.
SCORPIO
Take a spooky walk on the Preserve. Be careful and don’t get lost, we don’t know what’s out there after dark.
SAGITTARIUS
Keep an eye out for bats this week. Make sure you don’t get locked in a stairwell with one. Vampires are a real and ever-present threat to society.
CAPRICORN
Research the hauntings of Vassar. Lots of the buildings here have been around for a while. Look in the archives of the Misc to find reports of hauntings. Nothing like some archival work to help distract you from doing your readings for class.
AQUARIUS
Reread your favorite scary book. I suggest “A Bad Case of the Stripes.” That really freaked me out as a kid.
PISCES
Take a moment and gather the strength to go through the second scariest part of the semester; midterms. I believe in you. The ghost of Matthew Vassar believes in you.
