Vet School Requires Costumes

Naturally, to keep ourselves from going insane, vet students like to party. Some more than others, but in general we get so little opportunity to let loose that the events we do have are a little ridiculous.

I don't know what it's like for other people, but we have an enormous amount of costume parties. The Happy Hours always have a theme, and some people go really all-out in the costumes. I mentioned the mentor-mentee happy hour already, where everyone comes in pairs as famous duos. Usually, they have a broader theme.

There are the classics like...
- Cowboys and Indians
- Ninjas and Pirates
- Traffic Lights

I guess normal people know this, but apparently for the traffic light one (I don't recall if that's what it's called), you don't actually dress up as traffic lights. You wear green if you're single, orange if you're "it's complicated," and red if you're in a relationship.

There are the fun but not unusual ones like...
- Black Light
- Around the World
- Harry Potter vs Lord of the Rings
- Jungle Fever

Then there are the silly ones like...
- Dream Job if I Wasn't a Vet

Where everyone wore their overalls or their lab coats and came up with something to fit. I guess most of us are a "mechanic" at heart.
