Halloween is upon us and all I've been wanting to do lately is sit in bed all day and watch scary movies to get in the spirit of Halloween. These movies, in my opinion, are some of my favorites for the occasion but not in any particular order. Tis the season.

1.Scream (1996)

Everyone has seen the mask from this classic and it is still one of my favorites today. It is one that will make you sit on the edge of your seat while at the same time adding in a little humor because of the way the director played around with the horror dialogue.

2. Donnie Darko (2001)

This is an interesting take on the way that people view schizophrenia as portrayed in the character of Donnie Darko. The character is played by Jake Gyllenhaal and it makes you think about what reality is in twisted weird sort of way.

3. Halloween (1978)

Even if you haven't seen this classic, you will know the name Michael Myers because it is still one of the most famous Halloween movies today. Also, it's a very common costume. This is a must see classic for everyone's Halloween.

4. The Amityville Horror (1979)

Although this movie is also kind of dated and has been remade, it is still a great one because it is not like any other horror movie for Halloween, "it's a little stupid, somewhat laughable, and full of overt freak out moments—perfect for some fun if you're not in the mood for the really dark stuff."

5.The Conjuring (2014)

In terms of paranormal and haunting, this is by far my favorite movie. It is "based on real events", which already makes you not want to watch it...if you believe in that kind of stuff. It overall makes you want to continue watching throughout the whole movie.

6.The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

This horror movie is definitely a good choice if you want one about the spiritual belief that states that performing an exorcism can rid the "demon" out of a person. It is a pretty well executed movie, although I haven't seen it in a while.

7. The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008)

It has been a couple years since I've seen this movie but I still remember it being pretty good for a good scare. It has more of a creep factor than horror but is still worth the watch.

8. It Follows (2014)

I actually have never seen this movie but it seems like a very original American horror movie. It is hard to make a scary movie that is truly original, but this movie does just that. It is "clever and terrifying" and is definitely on my watch list this year.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
