Day 1,324, Quasi-Quarantine: That Halloween Was Different Than These Halloweens


If you're living the right way, certain days stick with you throughout your life. "That was a top-five day," I'll say every now and again. They matter. They add up.

One of my favorite days came as a 20-year-old at NC State. It involved an epic Wolfpack football game, multiple Halloween parties, late-night recon and pumpkin smashing, and copious amounts of oat sodas. Hell, at one point a roommate said, "I can't be doing this. I'm in college now -- I'm an adult!" Boy, did we laugh at him.

Anyway, this State game always stuck with me based on the confluence of drama, comeback, holiday fever, and raucous crowd. Go Pack.

That was a day.
