My Favorite Disney Halloween Movies

This is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.

My Favorite Disney Halloween Movies

As soon as October hit as a kid, I knew the one thing that I looked forward to more than actually dressing up on the 31st was the movie marathon on Disney channel. I could finally curl up on my couch and watch some of my favorite movies like "Hocus Pocus" and have a legitimate reason to do so. We're adults now and we don't need to justify when we watch what we watch. But, for no other reason other than for nostalgia's sake, I did make a movie marathon list of my own of all of my favorite Disney Halloween movies. Prepare to have all of the feels, including the spooky ones.

"Halloweentown," "Halloweentown High," and "Return to Halloweentown"

It's just not Halloween without watching this trifecta movie heaven. I admit that the first time I saw these movies they scared me as much as I loved them. But after realizing that the "monsters" can be good guys and that they don't have to be scary, I was a converted Halloweentown fan. Also, I'm pretty sure every girl got to live their dreams of being a badass witch by watching Marnie's adventures.

"The Nightmare Before Christmas"

Tim Burton does it again with this beautifully and meticulously crafted film. The music alone is enough to haunt and enchant us once again, but there's so much more to love. We can all empathize with the need to be free like Sally or to make someone of ourselves like Jack, even when all of the odds are against us. And the brilliancy of it is we would never have expected to fall in love with a skeleton or a rag doll brought to life. You should also probably add "The Corpse Bride" and "Coraline" to your watch list if you love claymation.

"The Addams Family" and "Addams Family Values"

If I could only dress up as one character for the rest of my life it would have to be Morticia Addams. And if I had to choose one aesthetic for the rest of my life, it'd be this. You can't go wrong with this iconic movie game-changer.

"Twitches"

This movie definitely holds a special place in my heart. I can't even imagine my childhood without "Sister, Sister" and their other movie "Seventeen Again" (not the one with Zac Efron). Finding out I had an awesome and rich twin sister and somehow also awakening our dormant magical powers to defeat "The Darkness" and discovering we were actually royalty from a far-off kingdom was pretty much all I wanted as an 8-year-old.

"Hocus Pocus"

Last, but certainly not least, we have my personal Halloween movie favorite. I mean, what's not to love? You've got Sarah Jessica Parker playing a goofy, flirty witch. There's Zachary Biggs, a (surprisingly very cute) 17th-century boy trapped in the body a cat. And there's Bette Midler. Happy Halloween indeed!

You can find a couple of these on Netflix and Amazon Prime, but all of these will be airing on Disney Channel, AMC, Freeform (ABC/ABC Family), and Syfy. Check out the 2016 TV schedule for them here.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
