5 Reasons Why I'm Obsessed With Things That Go "Bump" In The Night
NorthWest Crossing

If you're like me then you like the little things that go "bump" in the night. You get a thrill watching horror movies and you think that haunted houses aren't even that scary, but comical. You're a die hard horror enthusiast. You even read (if you like to read) murder mysteries and you love Halloween to no end. You're even engrossed in the sociological and psychological problems inside murderer's heads like Jefferey Dahmer or Ed Gein. And since Halloween is coming up in a few weeks here are some reasons why I'm obsessed with scary and spooky situations.

1. You Know It's Not Real

Sure it may seem real or even feel real, but you know deep down that it isn't and it doesn't faze you. Yes you may still get scared when there is a jump scare or something creepy happens, but you know in an hour or so that it'll be all over and you'll be back to normal soon.

2. It's A Fun Thrill

You can go and watch scary movie after scary movie and keep watching without a problem. You get excited when you finally figure out who the "bad" guy is or when the scary ending is revealed. You get a thrill from discovering the ending just as a person who loves roller coasters gets a thrill from riding them.

3. You Think It's Interesting

You wouldn't watch ghost documentaries or read books about murder mysteries or even watch scary movies if you didn't think it was interesting. You want to see how things unravel, you like the mystery that entails and you love that it keeps you guessing till the very last moment.

4. You Enjoy The Feeling

This may sound odd, but you do enjoy being scared. Like mentioned before it's a thrill that you just can't get enough of. You like the suspense waiting for the killer to pop out of the dark or the monster to reach for the innocent kids. It's fun to try new things and to see if this new movie will scare you enough or if it'll just be cheesy.

5. You Love The Atmosphere

Everyone is on edge the entire movie, the entire trip through the haunted house, and even on edge walking from house to house on Halloween (don't lie, we all still trick or treat). Everyone is scared and it's interesting and fun to see what makes your friends scared. It's also hilarious watching them freak out over the smallest little spider or the giant, fake hand that's sticking out of the candy bowl.

Don't be afraid to show your scary side once in awhile!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
