    This is something University of Alabama student, Kelsey Hall, learned the hard way when she tweeted this —

  • The tweet reads, “1,000 retweets and I’ll wear this [Christmas tree] to all my classes for the rest of the semester.”

    Hall tells PEOPLE.com, “My mom got me the costume because I love Christmas, and she thought it was funny. I took this picture and thought it would just be funny to post, but I had no idea that I would actually have to wear this so that’s why I said I would wear it for the rest of the semester.”

    Clearly, Hall didn’t expect her 300 Twitter followers to follow through. Her tweet soon, however, went viral collecting more than 13K+ retweets and 21K+ likes.

    “I definitely did not think I would get 1,000 retweets, I thought it was a very unrealistic number — the most retweets I have ever got before was, maybe, five,” says Hall. “When the retweets were coming in I was shocked! I had 12 yesterday morning and somehow hit 1,000 by the end of the night!”

    Upon realizing she would have to wear the Christmas tree, Hall tweeted, “Guys I really don’t want to do this.” Nonetheless, Hall followed through with her promise and wore the costume to school.

  • When asked by PEOPLE why she went through with the “challenge,” Hall said, “I went through with it because I know everyone is going through a tough time with finals coming up, and hopefully, I could bring some Christmas cheer to my classmates!”

    And, so far, it looks like Hall’s classmates are loving her costume. Colin writes, “Dreams really do come true y’all.”
