Halloweekends in college come and go, but dream jobs are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and Olivia Dunne knows that. The LSU gymnast revealed in her latest TikTok that she skipped her senior year spooky season festivities, dressing up and partying with friends, but all for a great reason.

“When you’re missing college Halloweekend but you’re at your dream job>,” she wrote on the screen above a video of herself twirling around and singing along to “When Will My Life Begin?” by Mandy Moore from the Disney’s Tangled animated film.

The 21-year-old wore mid-rise medium wash baggy jeans and a dark red long sleeve ultra-cropped top. Her long blonde locks were smooth and loosely curled and Dunne showed off her toned figure and washboard abs. The 2023 SI Swimsuit model, who was photographed by Ben Watts in Puerto Rico earlier this year, opted for a minimal glam moment, including rosy blush, dark mascara and a glossy mauve lip.

“AHHHHHH #foryou,” she captioned the video using the trending sound and shared it with her 7.8 million followers on Oct. 29.

The New Jersey native didn’t give any more insight as to what project she’s working on, but fans were quick to speculate.

“Gotta stay on that grind!!” one user eagerly commented.

“livvying your best life,” someone chimed.

“Gotta stay on that grind!!” another added.

“You guys are dumb obviously her dream job is representing the USA in the Olympics,” a fan speculated.

“Omg Livvy I wanted to see your costume :/,” someone else wrote, and Dunne replied with reassurance: “I’ll put my costume on on Tuesday :).”
