Life Lessons We Can All Learn From 'Hocus Pocus'

"Hocus Pocus" is one of the best Halloween movies, in my opinion. It makes you laugh, cry and even sing a little bit. There are so many elements to this movie that make it great, including the songs, the plot and the cast. I've seen the movie many times, but I catch something new each time. The most important thing, however, is that this movie also teaches you life lessons. Here are just a few of them.

1. People who wear way too much eye shadow cannot be trusted.

I do not think I have ever met a sane person who wears way too much eye shadow. The worst is when they have on blue shadow; that should never have been invented.

2. Boys will be boys, especially when there is a cute girl involved.

This has been proven time and time again. Boys will do the stupidest things to get a girl's attention. If that means a virgin has to light the black flame candle, then he will do it.

3. If you do not love cats, you are wrong.

If you did not like Binx, you were crazy!

4. Little sisters are kind of cool.

Little sisters can be a pain in the butt, but in the end, you love them no matter what, and you never want anything bad to happen to them.

5. Books can be a powerful thing.

Books can bring you to a entirely different word when you read them. As said by Anna Quindlen, “Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.”

6. Peeping Toms are real and they suck.

7. Having hot friends is a major plus.

8. Your parents might have a life that you do not know about. Leave it that way.

There are plenty of times in the day where I want to call my mom just to see what she is doing, but then I realize that sometimes she just wants her own space. I guess I will let her relax.

9. It always helps to be nice.

When have you ever been on someone’s bad side for being nice? Being nice gets you places and things.

10. Mornings suck and we all know it.

I am pretty sure nothing else needs to be added to that.

11. Anger management skills are important to survive.

Having these skills will help you out in life when you just need to chill. It is easy to get worked up over things.

12. Be confident!

There is nothing more beautiful that someone who is confident in themselves. Just say to yourself that you are worth it and everyone who doesn't agree doesn’t matter.

13. Family is life.

They will be there for you no matter what.

14. Sisters are always there for you.

They will be there for you through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, and for anything else that you might need.

15. Sometimes it is acceptable to run amok.

Amen.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
