It is never too early to start thinking about Halloween costumes, and Halloween in Pullman isn’t just about candy—it’s a personality test in polyester. Forget Buzzfeed quizzes: your costume is the truest reflection of your academic identity. Whether you’re strutting down Greek Row, pre-gaming the bars, or staying in all night watching scary movies, here’s what your major really says about your Halloween costume.
Engineering Major: The Last-Minute Costume
No time for costume shopping? No problem. Hoodie and spooky vibes are enough. Practical, efficient, and mysteriously attractive. Your major says you value function over flair—and sometimes, a last-minute costume says it all.
Business Major: The Networker
Conversation-starting, slick confidence, maybe even handing out LinkedIn QR codes.. Your costume says networking is life—and Halloween is just another opportunity to practice your pitch.
Political Science Major: Legally Blonde Enthusiast
Sharp, confident, and always two steps ahead, you’re ready to turn heads and win debates—even at a Halloween party. Your costume screams strategy and style: think Elle Woods in pink power suits, maybe carrying a stack of “case files” or a gavel. Your major says you know the rules of the game—and how to charm your way to the top.
Communications Major: The Pun Costume
“Cereal Killer” with plastic spoons? Halo and cow ears for “Holy Cow”? Classic comm major. Loud, clever, and unapologetically charming—you’ll be explaining your joke three times in the kitchen because attention is your true Halloween accessory.
Computer Science Major: The Techie Build
There was definitely some mechanical work done to build your costume and it should be appreciated. LEDs, wires, and code—your costume outshines every Greek Row string light.
Education Major: Disney Character
Belle, Elsa, Woody—you’re approachable, cute, and nostalgic. You already have that teacher voice down, making sure everyone at the College Hill after-party survives the night.
Psychology Major: The Thriller Specialist
Your major says you’re fascinated by what makes people tick, and your costume proves it. Horror and thriller icons are your go-to: classics like Jason from Friday the 13th, Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or Hannibal Lecter from Silence of the Lamb. Your outfit isn’t just scary—it’s a psychological experiment in human behavior.
Fine Arts Major: The Showstopper
Glitter, sequins, DIY masterpiece. Greek Row stops to take photos and it only took 4 months to make. You definitely can’t find this costume off the rack. Dramatic, daring, and irresistible. I hope to see a tiktok video that showcases the step by step.
Your major doesn’t just shape your semester—it shapes your Halloween vibe. Punny, practical, or over-the-top fabulous, your costume is an extension of you. And whether you’re a Hoodie Ghost or a DIY Showstopper, it all screams the same thing: broke, stressed, and surviving until Thanksgiving.
