Get ready to queue these feature freaky films.

1. Halloween 

Halloween is an absolute classic! I mean come on, the holiday is right there in the title! Be sure to catch up on the OG movies before the new one drops October 13th!

2. Nightmare Before Christmas 

Nightmare Before Christmas- a Tim Burton staple. This movie rocks because it's both a Halloween and a Christmas movie. A Disney and family-friendly film!

3. Scream

Scream is personally my favorite scary movie. While the special effects may not be what they are today, the plot of the movie and the twist at the end still get me every time! I love Scream, and will always watch it every Halloween!

4. Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is a super cute film! It's a must-watch for the Halloween time of year.

5. Halloweentown 1 & 2 

Halloweentown 1, 2 and 3. Halloweentown was a dream as a kid! It's Halloween there... all the time. Following Marnie, her grandma Aggie, and the shenanigans that follow are a must for this time of year.

6. Hocus Pocus

Do I even need to explain why this is a must? Hocus Pocus hits all the necessary "musts" of a quality film and stars a killer cast. It even has a show-stopping number. If you skip out on this, someone must have put a spell on you!

7. The Adams Family 

The Adams Family... da na na na *snap snap*! My mom's maiden name is Adams, and we even have an Adams Family themed pinball machine based on these movies, so these films are essential to the Halloween movie watch list. They're fun and quirky, and spooky!

8. A Quiet Place 

This new thriller would be perfect for a date night! It's chilling and the suspense is added because it is so quiet... plus, Jim from The Office is in it so you really can't go wrong.

9. Night of the Living Dead 

Night of the Living dead is creepy but a classic. You just can't skip it for Halloween!

1. Goosebumps 

Who else used to get truly spooked by Goosebumps? The new movie comes out soon and will be a real blast from the past! Goosebumps was made for this time of year!

11. Ghostbusters 

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! GB is needed during this time of year- if you don't watch Ghostbusters during Halloween when else would you?

12. Goonies 

The Goonies is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is comedy, thrill, and adventure all packed into 2 hours! The Goonies is a Halloween movie watchlist must because it covers all the bases... except for gore!

13. Harry Potter Franchise 

Can't you hear the theme music now? ABC... excuse me, Free Form plays the Harry Potter franchise several times throughout the month of October for a reason- they're perfect for this time of year! The magic and thrill of the adventures Harry Potter and his friends embark on are exactly what you need for this spooky time of year.

14. Rear Window 

An oldie, but a goodie! My mom got me into this movie when I was younger and I couldn't be more thankful. A suspense thriller that will really have you guessing!

15. Stranger Things (Binge watch session) 

It's not a movie, but it's a must for Halloween! Binge watching this Netflix Original is worth it- it has plenty of gore, suspense, chill, thrill, and mystery. Also there are a lot of great costume ideas!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
