7 Actually Good Modern Horror Movies To Watch With Your Tinder Date

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)

Giphy

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)

Giphy

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)

Giphy

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)

Giphy

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)

Giphy

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
