Are you a Horror fanatic? Or maybe someone looking for a good scare? Look no farther then Pet Semetary! This movie was well worth the hype.

It's a nice addition to the Horror genre. It succeeded in employing many different techniques of horror. There were some gross and disturbing factors, there was a couple of scares that made you jump, and there were some downright painful scenes. Both emotionally and fearfully. The best part was neither of the horror tactics was overused as may be the case in other horror movies. It was suspenseful in all the right places. The jump scares weren't terrible. The gross scenes were artfully done.

It's Creepy, it's chilling, but it's also tasteful.

A lot of horror movies can fall into the trap of being gaudy or downright poorly played. But this one wasn't overbearing or cringy whatsoever. It balanced between horror and not crossing lines very well in my opinion. Some scenes were filmed in a way that gave context and fucked up you up without going over the top.

Warning though, just cause some scene was tastefully done doesn't mean this movie doesn't have its own aspects of fucked-up-ness. It isn't for the faint of heart.

Beyond the horror elements, the Hollywood aspects are also well done.

The acting was quality and the characters likable. They draw you into their universe and sometimes make you feel like you're experiencing it with them. It's rare to find a quality storyline like that within a horror movie but Pet Semetary achieves a successful status as an emotional roller coaster.

Is it as good as the original Pet Semetary?

Well, it's as charming as it's a predecessor. Yes, originals have a certain flavor that can't be tasted the same in any other reboot. Yet, as far as reboots go this one isn't half bad at all. It has its own flavor and quality entertainment. Well, it may not exceed your high expectations of the original, this movie definitely has character and still deserves a spot in the theater. It's still very much worth seeing.

If you love horror you'll adore this movie. I thoroughly did. It was entertaining and deserved the hype it got in the horror fandom. I encourage you to see it if you haven't yet.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
