As Halloween creeps closer, it's time to grab some candy corn and let the Halloween spirit begin. Here's some Halloween animated classics just to speed up the process.

1. Monster House (2006)

An example of an underrated childhood classic. It has everything you could ever want in a a proper halloween movie: best friends, a creepy old man and, of course, a living house that eats children.

2. Corpse Bride (2005)

Tim Burton strikes again in this emotional roller coaster ride, featuring Johnny Depp and 52 weeks of stop motion.

3. Coraline (2009)

Coraline. Though it claims to be a children's movie, it is gripping, chilling and a movie you will not regret watching. 10/10 recommend, and Coraline is a big mood throughout this entire film.

Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO3n67BQvh0

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

A multi-holiday classic. This movie is sure to keep you in the holiday spirit, and is the only acceptable "Christmas" movie that can be played before the month of November. Also, every single song preformed in this film is a bop, FYI.

Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qrB9I3DM80

5. ParaNorman (2012)

This movie has some pretty good laughs, a compelling storyline, and an underdog to root for. Definitely underrated.

Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1RXm81AsNo

6. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

It's a Halloween-ed special of Charles Schulz's The Peanuts, into a 1966 25- minute long movie. What doesn't seem interesting about it?

Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa21pDDxkAk

7. Halloween is Grinch Night (1977)

Christmas too far away? Christmas's antagonist is back in this Halloween- themed movie. It'll be sure to flood back those childhood memories and prepare you for the holidays.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
