Tell Us How You Did This Semester & We'll Give You A Halloween Costume
By Emily Elvish
As the spooky season nears its end, you’ve probably had no time to prepare an amazing costume for Halloween night. The mountains of uni work have been unforgiving to us all, but we’re not going to let you costume-less this year. All you have to do to is rate your semester 2 on a quintessentially 2019 scale of ‘God Tier’ to ‘Shit Tier’ and we’ll do the hard work for you by giving you a horrible costume to wear on the night. It’ll definitely be one to remember.
God Tier
This semester you’re flourishing. Your skin is clear, your self-esteem is at an all-time high, your WAM is better than it’s ever been, and you’ve lived your best life. This has really just been the greatest couple of months ever. You’ve also probably got a decent job, and an internship too. No one has ever had their shit together more than you do right now.
Costume: Live-action Sonic the Hedgehog
Representing one of the nastiest additions to pop culture in 2019, you have the honour of wearing this gem on Halloween. Everything about this costume is horrible but, considering how amazing your semester’s been, you’ll probably be able to rock his costume and still have an excellent time.
Top Tier
Well done, you have an excellent time this semester! You’ve worked hard, achieved some goals and it’s paid off. Sure, you probably made the mistake of spending way too much at Courtyard, but who hasn’t? I’m sure you’ll be really sad to say goodbye to such a stellar 6 months when exams finish. So, what better way to treat yourself after a long uni semester than with this horrible Halloween costume?
Costume: Sexy Bob Ross
You’ll definitely be judged for disrespecting the legend that is Bob Ross with this costume, but someone has to wear it I guess? The fake squirrel is honestly a confusing addition, but use this as an opportunity to drop some iconic Ross quotes and just embody his calming energy on Halloween night.
Mid Tier
You’ve had a good run. This semester hasn’t been the best but also hasn’t been total trash. You obviously need a Halloween costume which is a step up from these 6 months of mediocrity and we have the perfect one for you.
Costume: Diplodocus Giant Inflatable Adult Costume
If you rock up on Halloween night wearing this, you’ll instantly be a crowd favourite. This costume isn’t functional, practical or cheap, but it’ll definitely be one to remember. For extra impact, get matching costumes for all your friends and go on a Sydney-wide bar crawl.
Low Tier
Meh. This semester hasn’t been great. You’ve either been in holiday mode since before mid-sem or you’ve reached the point where you just can’t stress about that nasty unit anymore. This semester has really been a Bosch Building level of underwhelming, and that’s okay. It means that next semester will be great, so here’s a costume which encapsulates the last 6 months.
Costume: Yandy College Scandal Costume
Yandy really hit a home run with this one. Live out your Aunt Becky dreams this Halloween, because if anyone can have a good time in orange leggings, it’s definitely you.
Shit Tier
This semester has just been a never-ending Jenga tower of trash. Everything about your tutorials, lectures and assignments have been the worst, and you’ve definitely had an umbrella stolen outside Fischer at some point. You most likely had to struggle through a group assignment, and the thought of your WAM is as spooky as Halloween itself. The good thing is that it can only go up from here, and we’ve got a great costume to match.
Costume: Hydro Flask
You wanted to be a VSCO girl for Halloween? Sksksksksk, think again. Leave your Kanken and Birkenstocks at home because this Halloween you’re just going as a straight-up Hydro Flask. Optional extras include scrunchies and the opportunity to scream “and I oop” at unsuspecting strangers. This will really be the over-hyped, stainless steel cherry on the top of a nasty year for you.
