Now that the horrors of school are behind us for the summer, you can enjoy these school-related thrillers and slashers. This list is a compilation of horror, slashers and/or thrillers that have a school as their setting, focus or plays some role in the overall plot. The list does not include camp movies. These will help you remember that no matter how bad your school years was, at least it wasn't like these movies.

1. Graduation Day


2. Final Destination 3

All of the final destination movies are great to watch, but the third installment begins at the end of the main character's senior year. Warning: This movie, and others in the series, might make you paranoid.

3. Detention

I was never a troublemaker, but I'm pretty sure detention is nothing like the gruesome antics that take place in Detention. If you're still on the fence about watching it, Dane Cook and Josh Hutcherson are in the movie, so what could be bad about it?

4. Most Likely To Die

As kind of a B-rate slasher, Most Likely To Die is the perfect movie to watch with some friend's this summer break.

5. House On Sorority Row (1963)

A sorority is more than a sisterhood in House on Sorority Row. When a graduation party get deadly the sorority sticks together or dies trying.

6. Sorority Row

While a remake of the aforementioned, Sorority Row takes a new look at the 1963 film with modern twists.

7. Final Exam

8. Jennifer's Body

I first heard of Jennifer's Body through the Panic At The Disco's New Perspective music video. While not exclusively about school all of the plot's events lead up to the character's prom.

9. Heathers

I often list this as my favorite romance movie, but it can easily fall into the horror genre as well. Revenge takes a whole new name in Heathers, as a student sheds their popular reputation.

10. Carrie

Speaking of revenge, Carrie takes it to another level. Based on the Stephen King Novel of the same name, it focuses on Carrie White who is bullied at school. While this movie has been remade twice over the years, I recommend the 2002 remake.

11. Rage

Also based on a Stephen King Novel, Rage is the sequel to Carrie.

12. Prom Night Series

A classic, Prom NIght is a must see slasher centered around, you guessed it, prom! Both the original and the remake are about the same, so watching either one works.

13. Scream 2

Another movie apart of a series is Scream 2, which is set on a college campus. It is a classic in its own right, and I recommend the other films in the series.

14. Detention Of The Dead

15. Class of Nuke 'Em High Series

Class of Nuke 'Em High is the typical 80's slasher/comedy and gives you exactly what you expect. If you're like me and don't like the raunchier movies I don't recommend this series.

16. Cutting Class

17. The Final

18. Friend Request

With a college campus as a setting and the overall plot focuses on bullying Friend Request makes the list. To be honest, It's not the best movies, but it's still a great one to watch with friends because of the jump scares.

19. Smiley

When I first heard about Shane Dawson being in a horror movie I thought it would be corny, but Smiley is a terrifying movie with a twist.

20. All Cheerleaders Die

This one might be a little bit of a stretch, but a lot of the setting does take place at school.

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.
