My personal Top 5!

Hocus Pocus

I would be out of line if I didn't put this fan favorite. I sincerely hope you all have seen this one if not, GO WATCH IT!! This movie is about three witches who are brought back to life by accident. They need the souls of children to keep them looking young, so they set out to try and find as many as possible. Max and his younger sister decide to put a stop to this, since they did accidentally bring them back to life by lighting the magical candle. If this doesn't make you want to watch it, let me also mention there is a talking cat!

The Craft

This movie isn't as uplifting as others, but still has a good plot. A girl named Sarah moves to a new city and begins going to a Catholic Prep School. She gets attention from a group of girls who practice witch craft. One of the girls notices something about Sarah and thinks that she has powers. They befriend her and they begin to practice the craft together. They feel that if they are together, they are unstoppable and their dreams will definitely come true now. But will the power be too much, and will someone want to be leader at the end? Jealousy and greed might get the best of them.

Casper

Universal Pictures

This is a kid-friendly, wholesome movie. Casper, the friendly ghost, is a slave to his three uncle ghosts. All he wants is for someone to bond with. That isn't an easy thing to do, when you live in a haunted mansion and of course you are a ghost. Then, an afterlife therapist and his daughter move into the haunted mansion. Casper and Kat are spooked by each other at first, but eventually grow close. How could it possibly work out? Maybe Casper will get his happily ever after, or just a glimpse of it.

The Addams family 

I can't even type the title and not hum the theme song. The Addams Family is about an eccentric family who live in a massive mansion. Then all of a sudden, two con artists come up with a plan to get them out of the house for good. They hire an accomplice to pretend to be a relative of the Addams. Everyone learns a lesson on what family means and what it means to care for one another, no matter the cost.

The Haunted Mansion

Eddie Murphy stars in this Disney movie, playing a realtor, Jim Evers. His family decides to take a weekend vacation from work. They decide to make a stop at a mansion on the way. They only planned on staying for a few minutes, when it began to storm. The residents of the house didn't seem like your average kind of people. The Evers begin to feel like they needed to get out as soon as possible. The only problem is that they are trapped inside. Jim Evers learns what really matters in his life, and decides to take this eerie experience as a life lesson.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
