12 Best Halloween Movies For The Frightfully Challenged

(Fear factor: out of 10)

  • Halloweentown (1) - This is a good series of movies to watch if you love monsters and magic, but you're not so into creepy, scary things that haunt you in the night.
  • Hocus Pocus (2) - A classic, amazing movie about three witches trying to live forever. If you haven't seen it yet this is a MUST SEE.
  • Nightmare Before Christmas (2) - A Halloween/Christmas mashup with skeletons and other creatures. It is the most musical on my list.
  • Harry Potter (3) - If you don't consider them Halloween movies you need to get your eyes checked. For the least scary try the first two movies.
  • Mom's got a Date with a Vampire (1) - I love this movie and strongly feel that it was underrated, however, if vampires aren't your favorite thing ever, there's a good chance it won't be quite your cup of tea.
  • Mostly Ghostly (2) - Probably the one I would recommend most strongly because it was fantastic and had amazing actors.
  • Twitches (1) - As someone with a late October birthday I played this movie at most of my birthday parties growing up and never had any complaints.
  • The Adams Family (1) - A timeless classic that wouldn't crack my top 10, but I expanded the list because I feel it deserves to be on here.
  • Beetlejuice (4) - Full disclosure this movie can be scary, not scary like a horror movie but there were times in high school that it made my heart race.
  • Ghostbusters (1) - The classic almost everyone has heard of, but not as many people have seen, so if you haven't yet, watch it.
  • Goosebumps (3) - So fantastic. The movies are scary to most kids but shouldn't be anything a college student can't handle.
  • Dark Shadows (2) - Okay so to be completely honest this movie makes me cry, and I love it so much. It is about a vampire but not a scary one.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
