Grab your popcorn and blankets, have a girls night, or grab your sweetie -- we are getting ready for the Halloween season. During October, I can't seem to get enough of scary movies. I am such a scaredy cat when it comes to horror movies, but it doesn't keep me from watching them. I'm the type who as soon as I sense something scary is going to happen in the movie, I tend to cover my face, but can still manage to see through the finger spaces.

For those that love horror movies, and with Halloween being around the corner, I have gathered a list of the Top Six Classic Horror Movie Villains.


6. Ghost face -- "Scream"

This white mask and black hood became iconic growing up in the 90s; the costume was so popular that all the kids wanted to dress up as the creepy Ghost face. This villain would threaten, stalk and call his victims, asking movie trivia questions right before he would stab them to death with a hunting knife. Haven't they heard of checking your caller ID?


5. Jason Voorhees -- "Friday the 13th"

This 80's villain's mask has nothing to do with hockey, but can sure make you remember Jason. This villain killed to avenge his mother's death and to keep her quest of keeping Camp Crystal Lake closed . He is silent, undead and unstoppable, slaughtering anyone he comes into contact with. Talk about psycho madman.



4. Chucky -- "Child's Play"

Now he may seem silly, but in the early 90s, this child's toy was scary. Especially knowing it was a doll possessed by a serial killer, who transferred his soul into the doll in his last moments. Throughout all the movies, he has tried to transfer his soul into others to escape his Good Guy doll body and get his revenge on the people. Chucky kills anyone who stands in his way, and frames the survivors of the murders. Ever since I watched this movie, I tend to I always look twice at any doll. They give me the chills.



3. Freddy Krueger -- "Nightmare on Elm Street"

He haunts your dreams, the one safe place we all thought nobody could enter. He is a serial killer who would kidnap, torture and slash children, until the town wanted to punish him and set him on fire. He later returns from the dead in his victim's dreams, haunting, terrorizing, and murdering teenagers on Elm Street. Krueger reminds me of the Boogeyman's long lost, creepier, much more evil brother.



2. Michael Myers -- "Halloween"

Michael Myers is the most popular horror movie villain. Myers returns to his old neighborhood years after escaping from an asylum for murdering his older sister. He returns to stalk his younger sister with the only purpose of killing her, and plans to murder everyone who gets in the way. Myers has no supernatural powers, yet they can't kill him easily. He is scary creepy because he has no personality, shows no emotions, you don't know what he is thinking or what his next move is, and lastly, you know he kills for plain evil.


1. Pennywise, the Dancing Clown -- Stephen King's "It"


He is the creepiest on my list, especially if you have a hardcore fear of clowns. They are obnoxious and get all up close and personal in your face with those long gross nails, and that morning breath is killer. It's not enough his character is an evil demon who poses as a child-killing clown, but he can also transform into your biggest fear.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
