As Halloween night comes closer and closer, many people are looking for safer alternatives to traditional spooky celebrations. Instead of spending the night worried about staying six feet apart from strangers at a party, staying in can be more fun. Get in your favorite Halloween-themed pjs and huddle up with your friends to watch some of my favorite killer shows on Netflix.

Black Mirror

IMDb

Black Mirror is the perfect show to watch for people who struggle to finish long series (like me). Each episode is close to an hour long, but follows a plot that is unique and full of mind-bending thrills. The overlying theme for each story has to do with the negative effect of social media and technology on society. Get ready to have your mind blown.

American Horror Story

Popsugar

The perfect fit for Halloween, American Horror Story speaks for itself. The first season, titled Murder House, tells the story of a family looking for a new start who's dark secrets become exposed as the house begins to haunt them. The characters are complex and eerie and the finale will have you wanting to rewatch the whole season from start to finish.

Scream (TV Series)

Digital Spy

This series builds on the original iconic movie series, Scream. Set in present day, a group of kids from a small town become immersed in a mystery surrounding a killer who mimics a murderer from the past. For fans of shows like Riverdale or Scream Queens, the show is a must see.

The Twilight Zone

Forbes

The original Twilight Zone series aired from 1959-1964, but is still one of my all time favorites (thank you Netflix). Along with its numerous awards and nominations while on the air, the show is special because each episode reveals an essential truth about humanity. The show was so popular at the time that numerous spin-offs and movies have been created in commemoration, and it still has a pretty large fan-base to this day.

Stranger Things

Insider

If you haven't already seen Stranger Things... you must be living under a rock. Halloween is the perfect time to rewatch some of your favorite episodes from this family friendly "horror" show, or see what all the hype is about for the first time. Either way, the storyline will keep you entertained and give you just enough Halloween vibes

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
