My Favorite Disney Halloween Movies

This is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.

My Favorite Disney Halloween Movies
Petiole

As soon as October hit as a kid, I knew the one thing that I looked forward to more than actually dressing up on the 31st was the movie marathon on Disney channel. I could finally curl up on my couch and watch some of my favorite movies like "Hocus Pocus" and have a legitimate reason to do so. We're adults now and we don't need to justify when we watch what we watch. But, for no other reason other than for nostalgia's sake, I did make a movie marathon list of my own of all of my favorite Disney Halloween movies. Prepare to have all of the feels, including the spooky ones.

"Halloweentown," "Halloweentown High," and "Return to Halloweentown"

It's just not Halloween without watching this trifecta movie heaven. I admit that the first time I saw these movies they scared me as much as I loved them. But after realizing that the "monsters" can be good guys and that they don't have to be scary, I was a converted Halloweentown fan. Also, I'm pretty sure every girl got to live their dreams of being a badass witch by watching Marnie's adventures.

"The Nightmare Before Christmas"

Tim Burton does it again with this beautifully and meticulously crafted film. The music alone is enough to haunt and enchant us once again, but there's so much more to love. We can all empathize with the need to be free like Sally or to make someone of ourselves like Jack, even when all of the odds are against us. And the brilliancy of it is we would never have expected to fall in love with a skeleton or a rag doll brought to life. You should also probably add "The Corpse Bride" and "Coraline" to your watch list if you love claymation.

"The Addams Family" and "Addams Family Values"

If I could only dress up as one character for the rest of my life it would have to be Morticia Addams. And if I had to choose one aesthetic for the rest of my life, it'd be this. You can't go wrong with this iconic movie game-changer.

"Twitches"

This movie definitely holds a special place in my heart. I can't even imagine my childhood without "Sister, Sister" and their other movie "Seventeen Again" (not the one with Zac Efron). Finding out I had an awesome and rich twin sister and somehow also awakening our dormant magical powers to defeat "The Darkness" and discovering we were actually royalty from a far-off kingdom was pretty much all I wanted as an 8-year-old.

"Hocus Pocus"

Last, but certainly not least, we have my personal Halloween movie favorite. I mean, what's not to love? You've got Sarah Jessica Parker playing a goofy, flirty witch. There's Zachary Biggs, a (surprisingly very cute) 17th-century boy trapped in the body a cat. And there's Bette Midler. Happy Halloween indeed!

You can find a couple of these on Netflix and Amazon Prime, but all of these will be airing on Disney Channel, AMC, Freeform (ABC/ABC Family), and Syfy. Check out the 2016 TV schedule for them here.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
