Halloween Depression

This year's Halloween is mostly likely the worst Halloween I have ever had. It even beat the year when my sister and I had never decided what we wanted to be for Halloween, and our procrastination lasted all the way until the night of, and they only thing we could be were brides using the outfits we had in our dress-up box. And that was pretty bad because the last thing I wanted to be was a bride, but I had to have a costume! However, this year was even worse. Every year up until now I have dressed up. I don't think that once you reach a certain age that you should stop dressing up for Halloween, you're never too old for fun, and plus everyone loves the one day in the year where you can dress up and be WHATEVER you want. But I didn't get to enjoy that pleasure. I work at the Creamery and I have specific shifts that I work reguraly every week and then one night a week I have to close. That switches off between every monday, wednesday, and friday. And since I must have had the worst luck there could be the closing shift of that week for me landed on friday the 31st. I was bummed the moment I learned that I had to work on Halloween. Then soon I changed in to the persistant person that I am and asked anyone and everyone if they would work for me on Halloween. Of course no one wants to give up their Halloween. So after a while of searching for a sub and having no luck, I went back into my depressed stage, and anyone that asked what I was going to be for Halloween I just told them that I planned on being a depressed creamery worker. Soon Halloween came closer and I never got into the spirit of it because I knew I wouldn't get a Halloween. I had to work from eight until one in the morning. The good part of the Halloween night was occupied with work. Since I was in my depressed state of feeling no Halloween spirit I didn't even think about that I could still dress up at work. I only thought of that during classes on the 31st and tried to throw something together but even then I had nothing, so I wore a pink sparkly shirt that was previously used as a genie costume and went to work. I told myself that even though I had to work I was going to be positive and try and have a good time. But honestly worked sucked. It was never busy and barely anyone came in, making it feel even more useless that I was there. I was angry that we couldn't close early. Anyway after the VERY long shift was over I went in search of some friends that were still celebrating. And I watched the last half of The Six Sense with them and then had a friend spend the night. But even though I stayed up pretty late I still had to wake up in the morning and work from eleven to five. So my whole weekend was painfully bombarded with work and I was exhasuted from it. But next year I will not make the same mistake. I will make sure that nothing can ruin my halloween, especially not for the second year in a row!
