I don't know about anyone else, but my favorite thing about fall is Halloween, and with Halloween comes scary movies. Now, I can watch horror movies at any point in the year, but there's just something about watching them in the fall that makes it 1000 times better. While Netflix does have a pretty weak selection where horror movies are concerned, I did manage to find five that are solid 10/10s, or at least 8/10s.

1. "Friend Request"

At first glance, this movie seems like a repeat of "Unfriended," a horror movie that came out in 2015 that most people have probably never cared to watch....with good reason. However, it's nothing like that movie, not even in the slightest. It has a lot of the cliché horror movie moments, like the girl following a strange noise even though her first instinct should have been to run or each character dying off, one by one. However, its unique, mystifying plot and connection to the modern day technological craze overshadow those factors. Not to mention, it has a plot twist ending that'll leave you breathless.

2. "Hush"

This movie has basically two characters in it, but yet is the most well-thought out and intricate horror movie's I've ever seen. One character is deaf, while the other one is gunning to kill her. It makes for a recipe of disaster and will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. There are quite a few moments that make you jump out of your seat and just scream "He's right behind you!" Except she definitely won't hear you.

3. "Oculus"

If you're looking for a movie to scare you and confuse you, this is the movie for you. Based on a cursed mirror that makes you see things that aren't really there, it keeps you questioning throughout the entire movie of what's real and what's not. Even the ending leaves you confused and unsure. It's a brain twister, for sure. (Bonus: if you are a huge "One Tree Hill" fan like I am, James Lafferty a.k.a. Nathan Scott is in this movie. That right there makes it all worth it.)

4. "It Follows"

I may be partial to this movie because it was filmed in Detroit and I love when things are filmed locally, however, the premises of the movie, which is basically some haunted curse taking the form of an STD, are incredibly unique. It's also one of those movies where you want to stop watching, but then at the same time, you can't look away.

5. "The Conjuring"

At this point, this movie is a classic. You can just never go wrong watching it, no matter how many times you've watched it. It's just one of those movies that never gets old. From the plot line to the jump scares, to the "based on a true story," it's chill-inducing and easily one of the best horror movies out there

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.

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.
