Fall is well underway and October has almost already come and gone. If you're not one for haunted houses or gory horror movies and everyone keeps telling you that you are supposedly "too old" to go trick or treating, then binge watching some of your favorite childhood Halloween movies is the move for you! The month is almost over so you need to get straight down to the classics in order to get your Halloween fill. I did you the favor of gathering a list of some of the top movies you may have forgotten.

1. Halloweentown

I couldn't have said it better myself, Marnie. This classic features Debbie Reynolds as a witch and a town where it is always Halloween. I don't know what more you could ask of a Halloween movie. The sequel and even the threequel are still pretty good but once they replaced my girl Marnie I had to draw the line.


2. Twitches

Can you say sista, sista? When I was young, I wanted nothing more than to one day discover that I had a twin and that we both had magical powers to save the universe. I mean honestly, what a day that would be. But Twiches is as close as it gets to living that dream, so come along for the ride in this heartwarming classic you know you love.

3. The Little Vampire

I know for a fact you had forgotten about this one because I just now remembered it existed. Before he was hanging out with mice, the kid from Stuart Little was spending his time with a clan of vampires. Sorry Edward, but Rudolph was the original vampire crush.

4. Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire

With brilliant casting like Charles Shaughnessy as the evil vampire and Caroline Rhea as the mom, this was bound to be an instant classic. Although if it came down to a fight, any real-life mom could take down a vampire easily.

5. Underwraps

Another classic that probably slipped your mind about three kids who discover a 3,000-year-old mummy on the loose. The infamous line "I sleep in the nude" was the most scandalous thing 10-year-old me had ever heard.

6. Hocus Pocus

Okay, so obviously there is no way you could forget this movie. But there was also no way I could, in good conscience, leave it off the list. We are all waiting desperately for the remake but nothing can ever top the original as the ultimate Halloween movie.

Honorable mention: Don't Look Under The Bed

This movie scared me too much as a child for me to truly list it under movies for scardey cats but nevertheless is a must watch Halloween movie and probably the most unique plot of them all.

This list should give you a good start to your Halloween festivities and keep you well within your tolerance of all things scary. Happy binging and happy Halloween!

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.
