"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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
