5 Horror Films Perfect For Spring Break

Spring break is a great time to let your guard down and go for a swim. Just don't look into the water for too long...

Water-based horror films are severely underrated; what we can't see scares us. Sure, these films can be cheesy and unrealistic, but sometimes that's part of the fun. Either way, you'll be struggling to forget these creepy water-lurking creatures next time you're swimming in the deep.

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!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
