Being a huge movie fan, I am quite excited to have the pleasure to provide to you, my favorite scary/Fall movies. I would like to call myself almost an expert in picking out the best movies, but I don't have that official title (sad face). Animated or not here we come!

1. Halloween (1978)

How could you go wrong with this classic? A murder who broke out of a mental hospital to return to his hometown, DURING Halloween. Tell me that doesn't scream, "let me hide under my covers and cheer on the main character to escape this crazy man as I stuff my face with candy". This movie will always top my list as best scary/Halloween movie by a landslide!

2. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Coming in as a close second, "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is the PERFECT movie to get you in the transition mood between Halloween to Christmas. This movie never fails to get me in the fall feels, especially when Disneyland is decked out in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" theme. Don't even get me started with the musical appeal.

3. The Haunted Mansion (2003)

Another Halloween Disney classic. In the attempt to escape the ghost raided mansion, the workaholic father learned a valuable lesson of family. With that being said, with the fall/holidays feels coming around, this movie is definitely a "must-see" to kick off the season.

5. Jeepers Creepers (2001)

Easily, one of the most terrifying and disturbing movies I have ever seen. "Jeepers Creepers" was one of the first scary movies I ever watched and to this day, the creature present still haunts me and makes me feel I have to watch my back. Want a movie that makes you sleep with your lights on? Put this movie on your screen and you may happily regret it.

4. Hocus Pocus (1993)

On a lighter note, anyone could argue that this is, probably, the best of the best Halloween movie out there. Another classic that Disney provides us with, "Hocus Pocus" gives us that wickedly hilarious Fall excitement.

6. Monster House (2006)

A crazy house that is alive and eats people? I think yes! This 3D animated horror film keeps you at the edge of your seat through the misadventures of three kids who want to further investigate the house owned by the angry neighbor. Of course, it takes place during Halloween so, this makes it a great film to get you pumped for the changing leaves!

7. A Quiet Place (2018)

I will have to admit, I really dislike the recent scary movies because there's always some cheesy ending or poor edits..etc. HOWEVER, I mistakenly stumbled upon this movie in the theater one night and I will say, my mind was pleasantly blown. This movie is genius whether that is the deeper meaning of it or the simply way of life within this movie; it is just made beautifully. It is so intense, I have to put it on my list because of the heart racing terror this movie is filled with.

8. Beetle Juice (1988)

Another crazy, weird classic of comedy horror, "Beetle Juice" is filled with creepy family enjoyment! Definitely a great movie to watch year round and more specifically, Fall time.

9. Corpse Bride (2005)

Tim Burton's, "Corpse Bride", is so fantastically made I obsess over it all year long... and I mean like, binge worthy. I am not sure if it is the story line, claymation or what, this movie never fails to put me in a spooky mood!

10. Friday The Thirteenth (1980)

Ah, the infamous "Friday The Thirteenth", horror classic and absolutely terrifying, this movie really brings all these spooky movies to an end. The creepy Camp Crystal Lake sets this movies tone and carries out the question of, "who is terrorizing these camp counselors?".

To wrap it up, these spook-tascular movies will scare the bejesus out of you or get you ready for the fall season! No Halloween season would be complete without seeing, at least, one of these on your TV, cozy up, stuffing your face with candy.

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.
