Jaws (1975)

IMDb

What's better than a day on the beach? A day on the beach after watching Jaws! This iconic film made audiences everywhere fear the ruler of the ocean: the shark. While we now know that sharks aren't bloodthirsty man-eaters, fact is hard to separate from fiction when we're floating in the murky depths. If you feel something brush your foot, don't panic. It was probably just a fish... right?

Sweetheart (2019)

IMDb

Going to a tropical island? Well, that's the perfect setting to watch Sweetheart, a Blumhouse original about a girl who gets stranded on an island. By day, she has to survive the elements; but by night, she has to survive the savage monster that stalks the island and its coast. This is the perfect film to watch before a late-night beach bonfire. Just don't let it see you!

Piranha 3D (2010)

IMDb

While this may be a notoriously obnoxious film, it still deserves a place on the list due to the sheer panic that is felt when piranhas are mentioned in real life. This horror comedy showcases the spring breakers in a lakeside town who find something sinister swarming in the lake. No matter how unrealistic and hilarious the film is, it'll still make you swim a little faster to the shore. Also, Adam Scott stars in it.

Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)

IMDb

This list would be nothing without the OG water monster! If you ever wanted to watch a scary movie with your grandparents without scaring them too much, this is the perfect remedy! Creature From The Black Lagoon is a widely known classic in the horror genre and still makes an impact on audiences today. Next time you're in the lake and someone grabs your ankle, swim fast!

Lake Placid (1999)

IMDb

Last but not least, this movie has given the crocodile a similar reputation to that of the shark. The creature in this film is a giant man-eating crocodile that feasts on the visitors in the lake. This creature has spawned a series of six films over the years, with the latest being in 2018. Lake Placid is widely regarded as a cult film, so don't hesitate to watch it at your lake house!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.
