A little reminiscing never hurt anyone!

As a child, right about now would be the time I would usually rush home from school to assure I didn't miss Disney Channel's "Monstober." As much as it may seem socially unacceptable to get as excited as 10 year-old-me used to about Halloween on Disney Channel, I'll admit that it's fun to reminisce on the old movies that used to scare me to the point of having to sleep with my parents. Here's a list of my favorite Halloween movies that used to compile my weeknights during the months of October:

1. Halloweentown (1, 2, 3, AND 4 of course)

The Halloweentown movies are the DEFINITION of halloween on Disney Channel. When the four movies were aired back to back, there was no exception ... you'd be watching the Cromwell's save their town of supernatural creatures no matter what.

 2. Twitches & Twitches Too

Long lost sisters, and twins, AND witches? Nothing was better (or scarier) than watching Alex and Cameron defeat Thantos and the darkness to save Coventry.

3. Phantom of the Megaplex 

This movie gave me nightmares 100% of the time, and yet every time it aired on Disney, you'd find me glued in front of the television (with the lights on of course). As unexplainable events begin to occur throughout the megaplex on the night of a major movie premiere, Pete Riley and his siblings decide to seek out the "phantom" who's wreaking havoc on the theater.

4. Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire 

When the Hansen kids successfully set their mom up on a date, they unexpectedly regret their decision as they begin to suspect that there mom's new boyfriend is a vampire. This Disney classic usually makes it's annual appearance on screen during October, and therefore was a must see in my house.

5. Now You See It 

Ally & Aj were the queens of Disney Channel during the 2000's, and one half of their duo, Ally Michalka, dominates Halloween on Disney in this magic, mysterious DCOM. As her character searches her town for the next best magician for her reality television show, she uncovers a secret that might be more than she intended to find. This movie is often forgotten, but was a classic among my siblings and I and prompted many attempts at mastering magic ourselves.

6. Casper

Although not a Disney movie, and although more comedy based, Casper was a classic in my home during the month of October. As a ghost hunter and his daughter set up shop in an abandoned home, they are confronted by ghosts, who turn out to be more of a nuisance than anything else.

7. Smart House 

This movie might not necessarily fall into the Halloween category, but the computer take-over of this family's new house definitely gives off a spooky vibe. As much as we all probably wished to own a "dream house," living in a home programmed to be an overbearing mother most likely isn't what we had in mind.

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. 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.
