It's October, my friends. Do you know what that means? It's time to get caught up on the spooky film classics that have always been on your must-watch list. Round up your ghoul gang, stock up on Halloween candy, and track down these five festive flicks.

1. The Craft


Even though the Sanderson Sisters might hold the title of "Baddest Witches in Town," I think Nancy's clique in "The Craft" takes a close second. When leading lady Sarah starts at a new high school, she falls into a crowd of teenage witches and things go haywire. Pop some popcorn, bring out the Ouija Board, and summon your ladies to watch the film that defined my short-lived goth phase.

2. Ginger Snaps

Are you tired of dudes getting all of the teenage werewolf glory? Same here. "Ginger Snaps" flips the script when sixteen-year-old Ginger gets bitten by a werewolf and starts having some serious issues. As someone who deplores the look of CGI, this movie is full of ultra-freaky practical effects that are both scary and impressive. Move over "Teen Wolf," Ginger is the raddest of them all.

3. Evil Dead


The "Evil Dead" remake is about fighting demons both figuratively and literally. As a huge fan of the original Evil Dead franchise, there is something super exciting about watching chainsaw-wielding Mia fill Ash's shoes in the fight against darkness. Just a warning: This film is not for anyone squeamish at gore. There are plenty of cringeworthy moments that will make you glad that you're in your house/apartment/dorm room and not in an isolated cabin in the woods (no matter how cool it sounds). If you can make it to the end, I promise you and your friends will be cheering on Mia from the sidelines.

4. Scream


"Scream" is not only one of my favorite October movie picks, but it's one of the horror films that I hold dearest. I'll spare you any spoilers by not outing the best parts; however, "Scream" is a razor-sharp commentary on "scary movies" in general. If you're looking for a strong female character to get you inspired this fall, Sidney has "badass" status in my book. The Ghost Face killer never stood a chance.

5. Hocus Pocus


To end your Halloween season, I advise inviting your entire crew over to indulge in a viewing of "Hocus Pocus." The Sanderson Sisters are the fiercest ghoul gang of them all, wreaking havoc in Salem, Mass. after being brought back on Halloween. If you've never seen "Hocus Pocus," stop reading this article now. No, really. I need you to prioritize seeing this film over anything I have to say.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
