Scooby-dooby-doooooo!

Welcome to my junior year. While the rest of the world was dressing down - and by that I mean wearing less clothes, aka sexy costumes - here we are! The Scooby Doo crew plus the awesome Jasmine (yes, we still love Disney characters at age seventeen) in the middle.

Is there an argument in here? Why, of course! Because everything's an argument ;) Please ignore my lame AP Comp jokes; I really can't control them.

1) Our costumes argue that we are a crew that sticks together and it's true; we are involved in the same activities, and those are some of my closest friends.

2) We aren't going for sex appeal. While the rest of the high school wears less, we just went for the easiest thing. Deciding your costume on the day of the party isn't usually recommended, but at cast parties it's a free for all. There's been everything from lax bros and hand-sewn princesses to Facebook and Ingrid Michaelson.

3) Each individual's costume argues that they are like their character. In truth, we didn't base it off of personality. It was more of a "Oh you have purple? Be Daphne, because I don't have any purple," sort of thing. Although...

• Mari is Fred. Mari always wants to be a boy whenever possible; it's a weird I-want-to-play-a-difficult-role-that-is-opposite-from-who-I-am theatre thing. I think. But that reflects well in the fact that she is Fred.
• Mari's costume also uses humor. Clearly she is not a boy, and that gold stuff on her head is definitely not hair. 
• Allison is Scooby. Al Pal is our quirky friend, the one who can be sweet but awkward at the same time, and we love her for it. We also figured she would be a good dog so...that happened :)
• That yellow stuff attached to Michael's head is potentially hair. Very awkward hair, but hair none the less! The awkwardness could be considered humor.

4) A ton of planning did not go into this, but there was still a decent amount of planning. We planned enough to go as a group (save Shreya, I guess) and we knew who was going to be each character. Although we weren't as intense as our classmates, it didn't matter because a) it was a cast party, and theatre kids don't judge, and b) we had fun.

Yay for Halloween.
