Halloween was the peak for any kid during childhood. The one day of the year where you could eat as much candy as you want without your parents yelling at you, show all your classmates how cool you were with your brand new costume, and scream "Trick or treat, smell my feet" obnoxiously with all your friends. However, nothing could beat when your favorite TV show had a Halloween themed episode or there was a new original movie. Here are five Halloween specials that you definitely watched and made your childhood:

1. Hannah Montana: Torn Between Two Hannahs

Nothing was scarier than Miley's look alike cousin LuAnn coming to town and threatening to expose that she was really Hannah Montana.

2. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody: The Ghost of Suite 613

This episode gave me nightmares for weeks as a kid. How could anyone ever forget the scene of Esteban attempting to summon the ghost? Spoiler alert: turns out the ghost of Irene is actually really nice.

3. Twitches & Twitches Too


4. Halloweentown Films

Halloweentown. Witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolf, pumpkin heads AND Debbie Reynolds?! There was nothing these films didn't have. However, recasting Marnie Piper in the final film was not a slick move, Disney. Not at all.

5. Hocus Pocus

This spunky and scary trio of witch sisters is the perfect Halloween movie. Even though it's been 24 years since it's been released, a sequel is needed for this timeless film.

These Halloween specials defined Halloween time for my childhood and many others. They are timeless, and thankfully still get annually aired. If you're in need for a spooky binge-watching session, these are the picks for you.

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.
