Hocus Pocus

Had to start off with a classic! This nostalgic flick will get you right in the spirit for Halloween.

Sixth Sense 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjS0-6NwundAhVq34MKHYITCd0QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftenor.com%2Fview%2Fhaley-joel-osment-isee-dead-people-sixth-sense-gif-11333995&psig=AOvVaw260q1m7js0G2TIP_N8AWVR&ust=1538630148070507

This is a classic spooky tale. The eirie factor will stay with you even after the credits role.

Nightmare on Elm Street 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwinye7ixOndAhXj8YMKHcFECPsQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fca%2Fmovie%2Fa-nightmare-on-elm-street%2Fid308625280&psig=AOvVaw3fjBKVSnhwJJhYh6Pi5eCT&ust=15386307968070

If that picture alone isn't enough to give you nightmares, I don't know what is.

Halloweentown

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi5v5f5xundAhUE6oMKHVmxBV8QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.popsugar.com%2Fsmart-living%2FVisit-Real-Halloweentown-38349055&psig=AOvVaw0j_LNp_0D_0mO9-VZOM_1n&ust=1538631423430958

My personal favorite, this movie and its sequels were a Disney Channel staple around Halloween.

Scream

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwit-5aQx-ndAhVDxoMKHe_LBWMQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FScream-Face-Mask-with-Shroud-Halloween-Party-One-Size-Movie-Costume-Fancy-Dress-%2F112549628976&psig=AOvVaw2iM-j67Z4dqYyyE-QoF9rQ&ust=1538631492165499

Odds are you'll see this mask out while trick-or-treating, might as well know the story behind it.

Casper the Friendly Ghost

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjmkZKix-ndAhUK7YMKHTYDBToQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F420382946437817228%2F&psig=AOvVaw2Zr6IqKy4Nn5LyesBxe56R&ust=1538631530741862

A feel-good story about a friendly ghost- what more can you want from a Halloween film?

Nightmare Before Christmas

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj9yLazx-ndAhVs_IMKHS_HCbQQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shopdisney.com%2Fthe-nightmare-before-christmas-lunch-plates-1485433&psig=AOvVaw1ptVJtkUSWKgLJanWILn11&ust=1538631570222033

Highly contested- I know. Is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Well, I like to say por que no los dos?

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi4nZ_Ix-ndAhVp9YMKHfC4DbYQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgrantland.com%2Fhollywood-prospectus%2Fits-the-great-pumpkin-charlie-brown-running-diary-an-unblinking-journey-of-autumnal-despair%2F&psig=AOvVaw0RlXNo2NzhYGvbbrmIAJGI&ust=1538631612186544

This. Is. A. CLASSIC.

The Conjuring

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjQpKm_xundAhWn8YMKHZ1RAGYQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fnews%2Fvolokh-conspiracy%2Fwp%2F2015%2F08%2F22%2Fa-warning-about-government-warnings%2F&psig=AOvVaw25XbIKTzuyl7gdWX5af2xr&ust=1538631323827513

My friend literally left the theater in tears. Watch with caution!

Twitches

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjL9Z6rxundAhVqw4MKHVgqAysQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt0467421%2F&psig=AOvVaw2-iFURudjMSRUxWz-qWh65&ust=1538631280909301

If the last item is too much for you, enjoy this film about the importance of sisterly love and (bonus!) magic.

Insidious 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjNvsqNxundAhWEzIMKHZaNDGUQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rottentomatoes.com%2Fm%2Finsidious%2F&psig=AOvVaw1pYgdAKAtgOWnkGsPECqdm&ust=1538631220960803

A great flick for the spooky time of October, when the spirit world reportedly mixes with ours.

It's all in the name- need I say more?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
