5 Stages Of Watching A Scary Movie
self.com

If you’re like me, watching a scary movie is a process that doesn’t start and end with just the movie itself. There is a lot of thought that goes into whether or not you should put yourself through the turmoil that is a horrifying film. The movie is an hour and a half of screaming and blood and overall terror. Not to mention that even when the fright is finally over, the petrifying plot line of the movie stays in your thoughts for a long time after. Here are the five stages of watching a scary movie!

1. Denial

You are convinced that your friends will decide on a different genre. No one wants to watch a scary movie anyway. They’ll change their minds.

2. Anger

To your dismay, they have chosen to stick with their original movie choice. You are not happy. You yell and scream, “NO!”.

3. Bargaining

They are not budging. You plead with them and beg that they don’t force you down this scary road.

4. Depression

You sit through the entire film, afraid to open your eyes fully. You are sad because you have really connected with a character, who was just brutally killed off.

5. Acceptance

The movie is finally over and it appears that you’re the only one in the room truly affected by the chilling narrative. You accept that you’ll be sleeping with the light on for the rest of your life.

Good luck out there! People keep making scary movies so, odds are, you'll keep watching 'em!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
