5.) Flowers In The Attic

Netflix Rating: 3 stars

Personal Rating: 5 stars

This movie is more of a really uncomfortable thriller, which is what puts it at number 5 instead of number 1. The movie follows children as they go with their mother to live with their grandmother. Seems simple enough right? Well, you'll have to watch to see just how complicated it is.


4.) The Amityville Horror

Netflix Rating: 2 1/2 stars

Personal Rating: 4 stars

Based on the infamous tale of a haunted house in Amityville, this movie is definitely a classic. A family moves into a house that recently served as the scene of a brutal murder.


3.) The Babadook

Netflix Rating: 3 stars

Personal Rating: 4 stars

A son and his mother struggle with being on their own. When a mysterious book about a creature called the Babadook appears, things get a little crazy. This is a fantastic movie, especially for Halloween.


2.) The Uninvited

Netflix Rating: 3 stars

Personal Rating: 5 stars

This is probably one of my favorite movies. If you're a fan of thrillers with lots of twists and turns, this is the movie for you. A girl that was staying in a psych ward following her mother's sudden death returns home to find a few new changes.


1.) Hush

Netflix Rating: 4 1/2 stars

Personal Rating: 5 stars

A deaf writer moves in the middle of nowhere to finish writing her novel. When a killer is on the loose, it's a battle of the senses for her to get out alive. I didn't buy into the hype of this movie at first, but it's fantastically well done.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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?
