Halloween is absolutely positively 100 percent hands-down no lie my favorite holiday EVER.

It's actually more of a season rather than a holiday for me. The minute the leaves start to fall and the temperature begins to drop, Halloween starts. I love everything about this special day. I love the scary stories, haunted houses, pumpkin carving, costume picking, candy eating, and most of all, the movie watching! Halloween movies just make me happy. Whether I'm watching a Disney classic, or a straight up horror film, I love cuddling up with a big warm blanket and turning off the lights to indulge in Halloween-themed movie after movie after movie.

In fact, every year when the month of October begins, I have to watch a Halloween movie every night leading up to the 31st! Now, I wouldn't consider myself a Halloween movie expert, I just wanted to share some, in my opinion, really great Halloween picks in case any of you needed some ideas to help get you more in the Halloween spirit. So, without further a do, here are my top picks for the season!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
