Five of the Best Halloween Movies

Even if you're not a fan of Halloween, you'd be lying if you said you didn't like any of these movies.

Happy Halloween, everybody! With Halloween here, it's important for the inner child in you to watch some movies that are about this spooky and fun holiday. Even if you're not a fan of horror movies, it's awesome to have Halloween movie marathons because most of the time they are family-friendly and aren't half as scary as most people assume them to be. Here are five of my personal favorite Halloween movies that I'll definitely be watching throughout this week- and hopefully, you'll be able to watch some of them too!

1. The Halloweentown Series

No matter where I am or what time it is, I will watch any Halloweentown movie if it is playing on TV. The Halloweentown series was one that I grew up with and watched as a child. Once October rolled around, I would anxiously wait for Disney Channel to play the different Halloweentown movies and anticipate for the next one to come out. Halloweentown is a classic film that holds a special place in my heart, especially for sentimental purposes.

2. Hocus Pocus

Who could ever forget the famous song "I Put a Spell On You" and Thackery Binx, everyone's favorite black cat?

3. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

If you're like me and absolutely love Peanuts, then this movie is perfect for you! Anything Peanuts is great, especially a movie that features Snoopy, Linus, Lucy and all of your other favorite characters and is combined with Halloween, which is one of your favorite holidays.

4. Casper Meets Wendy

All I have to say for this one is that Wendy the Good Witch and Casper the Friendly Ghost make a dream team when paired together.

5. The Nightmare Before Christmas

By incorporating Christmas in this Halloween movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas steals my heart every time that I watch it.

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?

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.
