COLUMN: Columnist excited for Halloween
If there is one thing my time in Vermillion has taught me, it’s that there is no such thing as a coincidence. Having said this, the fact that Halloween is on a Wednesday this year is something to be considered. Not only is Halloween my favorite holiday, it also happens to be the day before […]
