Halloween is the sweetest time of year. Literally. As fun as Halloween is, it can be equally as stressful to find an appropriate, yet original costume. Finding a costume is no different than a homework assignment. We put it off until it is the night before and we have to text everyone we know for the answer to our problems. Thankfully, Valley has your answer. Our campus is filled with Halloween costume ideas that have been in front of you the entire time! Here are a few of our favorite Penn State Halloween costume inspirations:
