10 Signs You're a Horror Fanatic

“You’re sick, why do you want to be sacred?” I cannot recall how many times I have heard this statement. My parents and even some of my friends think my love for horror could almost be borderline unhealthy. With horror, I become engrossed in the sensation that it gives me. Whether it is through film, television or even going to haunted houses, the fear is exhilarating, a feeling that ONLY horror fanatics would understand.


1. You become anxious when there are no new horror films out, and that results in watching cheap B and C rated flicks in an attempt to fix your craving.

Let's be honest, halfway through the movie you are bored but continue because it's better than nothing,right?


2. Haunted houses are a regular routine.

Yes, Halloween Horror Nights is an annual occurrence in October, but why stop there when you can go to different haunted houses all year around.


3. You wish Halloweentown was a real place,only scarier.

How cool would it be to live in a town full of creepy faces like this.


4. You have a section in your home dedicated to all things horror, which ranges from scary books, to film to music. That is normal right?

Yes I said music. Let's be frank, turning off all the lights and putting on creepy music is kind of the best thing ever.


5. Within the first twenty minutes of a horror flick,if you have not jumped out of your seat you want you're money back. #IAMNOTAMUSED

You NEED to get scared!


6. When you get scared to death and feel the hairs on the back of your neck go up,you get a little TOO excited.

It's quite an exhilarating feeling that can not be described.


7. There is a countdown on your phone until the release of the latest horror film.

Why can't it be out now?


8. You would rather spend a Friday night watching horror films,then going out with friends.

Who cares if you are all alone and start hearing creepy noises.


9. It is pretty normal to have intense debates over good horror films.

And no,The Lazarus Effect does not count.


10. You accept the title of Horror Fanatic because obsession DOES NOT even begin to describe your love for it.

Horror is a way of life, and don't be ashamed of being a fanatic, I'm not.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
