If you're like me, horror movies are your favorite kind of movie. There is something so thrilling about them. Maybe it's the suspenseful music. Maybe it's just the ridiculousness of some of the plotlines that keep me intrigued. I don't have a straight answer for you, other than the fact that I absolutely love them. Here's a list of 20 horror movies every horror fan needs to see!

1. "It" (2017)

Granted, I've never seen the original, but this movie was one of the greatest scary movies all time. Plus, a special shout out to the kid actors in this movie...geniuses!

2. "The Blair Witch Project" (1999)

3. "The Conjuring" (2013)

Scary movies don't usually get my heart racing. I don't normally close my eyes during scary movies, either. But I did both of those things with this one.

4. "It Follows" (2015)

I will admit, it's a little on the strange side and has a very open-ended ending, but it gets major points for originality.

5. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (2013)

Although the original is good, too, I prefer the remake. Most scary movies are unrealistic, but the remake is much more realistic than the original, which makes it that much scarier.

6. "Halloween" (1978)

The entire series of Halloween movies are great (with the exception of "Halloween III: Season of the Witch." I have no idea what happened with that movie but 0/10 recommend).

7. "Carrie" (1976)

8. "House of Wax" (2005)

As you can probably tell, I have a thing for re-makes. In most cases, originals are better than the remakes, but I find that to be quite the opposite with horror movies. Hello better CGI and makeup techniques! (Plus, looking at Chad Michael Murray for an hour and a half really isn't a bad deal).

9. "The Shining" (1980)

10. "Aliens" (1986)

"Get away from her you bitch!" ICONIC.

11. "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974)

I should probably mention that this one would be number one on my "most gruesome horror movies of all time" list.

12."The Ring" (2002)

13. "A Quiet Place" (2018)

14. "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997)

This probably constitutes as more of a "thriller" but it's still good.

15. "Darkness Falls" (2003)

First movie to ever give me nightmares as a kid. Don't show it to children; they'll be terrified of the Tooth Fairy forever.

16. "Thirteen Ghosts" (2001)

17. "Orphan" (2009)

Plot twist ending, that's all I'm going to say.

18. "Get Out" (2017)

19. "Scream" (1996)

20. "Hush" (2016)

I never thought a movie with only two characters could be so good.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
