Hocus Pocus

Had to start off with a classic! This nostalgic flick will get you right in the spirit for Halloween.

Sixth Sense 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjS0-6NwundAhVq34MKHYITCd0QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftenor.com%2Fview%2Fhaley-joel-osment-isee-dead-people-sixth-sense-gif-11333995&psig=AOvVaw260q1m7js0G2TIP_N8AWVR&ust=1538630148070507

This is a classic spooky tale. The eirie factor will stay with you even after the credits role.

Nightmare on Elm Street 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwinye7ixOndAhXj8YMKHcFECPsQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fca%2Fmovie%2Fa-nightmare-on-elm-street%2Fid308625280&psig=AOvVaw3fjBKVSnhwJJhYh6Pi5eCT&ust=15386307968070

If that picture alone isn't enough to give you nightmares, I don't know what is.

Halloweentown

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi5v5f5xundAhUE6oMKHVmxBV8QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.popsugar.com%2Fsmart-living%2FVisit-Real-Halloweentown-38349055&psig=AOvVaw0j_LNp_0D_0mO9-VZOM_1n&ust=1538631423430958

My personal favorite, this movie and its sequels were a Disney Channel staple around Halloween.

Scream

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwit-5aQx-ndAhVDxoMKHe_LBWMQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FScream-Face-Mask-with-Shroud-Halloween-Party-One-Size-Movie-Costume-Fancy-Dress-%2F112549628976&psig=AOvVaw2iM-j67Z4dqYyyE-QoF9rQ&ust=1538631492165499

Odds are you'll see this mask out while trick-or-treating, might as well know the story behind it.

Casper the Friendly Ghost

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjmkZKix-ndAhUK7YMKHTYDBToQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F420382946437817228%2F&psig=AOvVaw2Zr6IqKy4Nn5LyesBxe56R&ust=1538631530741862

A feel-good story about a friendly ghost- what more can you want from a Halloween film?

Nightmare Before Christmas

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj9yLazx-ndAhVs_IMKHS_HCbQQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shopdisney.com%2Fthe-nightmare-before-christmas-lunch-plates-1485433&psig=AOvVaw1ptVJtkUSWKgLJanWILn11&ust=1538631570222033

Highly contested- I know. Is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Well, I like to say por que no los dos?

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi4nZ_Ix-ndAhVp9YMKHfC4DbYQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgrantland.com%2Fhollywood-prospectus%2Fits-the-great-pumpkin-charlie-brown-running-diary-an-unblinking-journey-of-autumnal-despair%2F&psig=AOvVaw0RlXNo2NzhYGvbbrmIAJGI&ust=1538631612186544

This. Is. A. CLASSIC.

The Conjuring

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjQpKm_xundAhWn8YMKHZ1RAGYQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fnews%2Fvolokh-conspiracy%2Fwp%2F2015%2F08%2F22%2Fa-warning-about-government-warnings%2F&psig=AOvVaw25XbIKTzuyl7gdWX5af2xr&ust=1538631323827513

My friend literally left the theater in tears. Watch with caution!

Twitches

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjL9Z6rxundAhVqw4MKHVgqAysQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt0467421%2F&psig=AOvVaw2-iFURudjMSRUxWz-qWh65&ust=1538631280909301

If the last item is too much for you, enjoy this film about the importance of sisterly love and (bonus!) magic.

Insidious 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjNvsqNxundAhWEzIMKHZaNDGUQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rottentomatoes.com%2Fm%2Finsidious%2F&psig=AOvVaw1pYgdAKAtgOWnkGsPECqdm&ust=1538631220960803

A great flick for the spooky time of October, when the spirit world reportedly mixes with ours.

It's all in the name- need I say more?

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.
