It's October 31st which means it's officially Halloween. Whether you have plans for a party, trick-or-treating, or a scary movie marathon, here's a great playlist to get you into the Halloween spirit.

1. "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater

If you're looking for something a little spookier, check out Morning Rituals cover of "Bad Moon Rising." This cover was even featured on MTV's Teen Wolf and AMC's The Walking Dead. Perfect for an apocalypse story.

2. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson

This 80's hit sets the mood for Halloween perfectly. Plus it's Michael Jackson, need I say more? Enjoy this classic music video.

3. "I Put a Spell On You" by Jeff Beck feat. Joss Stone

Originally written by Jay Hawkins, I'm loving this Jeff Beck and Joss Stone version. Perhaps most will recognize it from Disney's movie Hocus Pocus, performed by Bette Midler.

4. "This Is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Featured in the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, Panic! At The Disco also created their own rendition of this spooky song.

5. "Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones

This Stones song has been a hit since 1968, and it's all about a timeline of history from the devils point of view. Check it out!

6. "Monster Mash," by Bobby Pickett

This story is told by a crazy scientists and it's sure to get you into the Halloween spirit.

7. "Rhiannon," by Fleetwood Mac

Written by Fleetwood Mac in the 1970's about a story of a Welsh witch. This whimsical, haunting song is a classic Stevie Nicks song. Stevie Nicks has been rumored to be a witch herself, because of her unique style and ideas, but of course she denied all those accusations. In 2013 Nicks was featured in American Horror Story: Coven, as a witch as a play on the rumors.

8. "Superstition," by Stevie Wonder

Such a great classic, Stevie Wonder is amazing.

9. "Haunted," by Beyonce

Here's Beyonce's live performance of "Haunted."

10. "Witchy Woman," by The Eagles

This song was written by Don Henley and Bernie Leadon. It's rumored that Henley used Zelda Fitzgerald as his muse.

11. "Devil Town," by Bright Eyes

Featured in hit how Friday Night Lights.

12. "Hells Bells," by ACDC

This song opens up with a haunting bell, and is still a very well known ACDC hit.

13. "Ghostbusters," by Ray Parker Jr.

Adulting

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?

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?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
