Classic Halloween Movies We All Love
graphiti-app

We all know there are those classic Halloween movies that you just have to see every year. Whether they're the wholesome, family type or the chilling to the bone scary ones, we love and cherish them all. Of course, this list is subjective, but I think that for the most part, we can agree that these are classic Halloween movies in most people's eyes and hearts. Although some would probably add other movies to this list too, I doubt many you remove the ones on it.

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.
