Shark speak: At what age do you think it’s weird (or not weird) to dress up for Halloween?
“I feel like there isn’t an age where it would be weird, but just more what your costume is. So, let’s say if a sixty-five-year-old woman dressed as a provocative nurse then that would be a little weird, but I feel like everybody is entitled to dress up as they want,” said Mia Alvarado, freshman undeclared major. “I don’t know, it depends. I’ve gone trick or […]
