Uhm yeah, who says Netflix and chill has to be watching re-runs of Friends or The Office for the 30th time. Like yeah, we get, you like Michael Scott, who doesn't?

That also doesn't mean you have to watch doo-doo ass horror movies that you can barely make it through the introduction of. It's 2018, and we want good horror movies! I want to be scared shitless, sacred and be psychologically challenged as well. That means no more boring ghost stories or evil dolls coming alive. It's not the 1990's.

1. Hereditary (2018)

If you want to feel uncomfortable and somewhat disturbed, then this is the movie for you. Also a nice remainder to take your birth control ladies!

2. The Cabin in the Woods (2011)

Giphy

Ah, post-moderism. This movie takes a wild twist on the basic horror movie troupes.

3. A Quiet Place (2018)

This whole movie was very intense and it gave me severe anxiety. But it's ok, because John Kranski's dad bread makes up for it, and I would sit through that a second time just to experience the dad bread up close on the big screen. The movie plays on the performance of body language and sound instead of dialogue, so it really keeps you on the edge of your seat!

4. Annihilation (2018)

Can't tell if I watched a horror movie or had an out-of-body experience. This is the type of horror that makes you feel like your skin is crawling. I felt somewhat uncomfortable in my own skin after watching this. Also the production design is really something else, and it obviously deserves an Oscar. It also reminds me of a Tame Impala music video...hmmm.

5. Mother! (2017)

This is really not your typical horror movie, nor is it a really bad acid trip. It's actually an allegory and oh boy, you'll be surprised to see what Darren Aronosky is referencing. The metaphor doesn't bashed you over the head right away. So it's okay if you don't pick it up the first time you watch it.

Just try to get through it, make a guess and then look it up. It's defintely not what I expected to be.

6. The Babadook (2014)

Giphy

Creepy? Yes. Gloomy? Yes. Disturbing? Yes. Refreshing? Absolutely.

This psychological horror I had watch two years ago left a big dent in my brain, and now I can't sleep with the lights off. Your childhood nightmare has followed you and now seems to become a terrifying reality that not only you suffer, but also your family.

7. Get Out (2017)

Intelligent? Funny? Political? Wicked? Yes, yes, and more yes! But most of all...scary? Of course.

It's a new kind of horror that doesn't involve dolls, ghosts or possessed twins. Jordan Peele's directorial debut makes you rethink about the society we live in. It also makes me not want to drink tea or come near a 10 foot radius of any white women who has a cup of tea.

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.
