Scary Movies To Watch Before Halloween

"What's your favorite scary movie?"

Halloween is coming up soon, and if anyone knows me, they know I love horror movies. I can never seem to find one that truly scares me, but that doesn't stop me from seeing the latest one, so I've compiled a list (in no particular order). I should say it in no way includes every single "good" horror movie, because there are still several I have yet to watch, but it includes some of the better ones I've seen ! I have included some suspense, slasher, and horror-comedy to keep it balanced. Some of these are on the list just because they willingly fall into the horror movie tropes, making them enjoyable for their stereotypical nature. Hopefully I have listed some here that you have never seen before! If you're like me, and like to look up a movie before watching it, I encourage you to look at the movie's page on IMDb!

1. Scream (1996)

15 Mind-Bending Riddles

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

11 Signs You Grew Up In Hauppauge, NY

Because no one ever really leaves.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
