5 Family Movies To Enjoy Even After Halloween

Halloween is a fun, festive holiday that children and adults love. There is a wonderful bonding experience in taking children trick-or-treating whether they are your own children or not. Another great way to bond with children on Halloween or near Halloween, is to watch family Halloween movies. Some people may say that watching movies is not a great way to bond with anyone, but I have to disagree. Some of the best memories I have with my father is when we are watching movies or discussions we have about movies we have seen. (For example: Taste the soup!) The point of bonding is to share a common like or dislike, no matter how small. There a lot of great family Halloween movies and there are some not so great ones. Here are 5 of my favorite family Halloween movies.

1. Halloweentown Series


The Halloweentown series (Halloweentown, Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge, Halloweentown High, and Return to Halloweentown) is perfect for kids and the series grows up with them. This is a cute movie series!

2. Hocus Pocus


This movie is a little darker but still fun. Talking cats, silly witches, and a nice zombie!

3. Casper


Casper is the cutest! He's a friendly ghost! This brings in Halloween elements, corny jokes, and cute animation!

4. Twitches


This is a Halloween movie for a bit older children. This movie can be great to watch with teenagers. (And it gets them to bond with you!)

5. The Addams Family


This one will probably be the adults favorite! Especially with Morticia Addams.

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?

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
