How to Survive a Horror Film

Don't go in there!

How to Survive a Horror Film
Ashley Strube

Do you ever get angry at how idiotic characters can be in scary movies? Do you find yourself screaming at the TV giving them advice, and they never listen? As a horror movie fanatic, I have compiled a series of steps that may or may not help you survive your own horror film.

1. Watch the original Scream movie.

The movie basically makes fun of horror films, and tells you how to survive!

2. Bite the goddamn bag

If someone comes at you and throws a plastic bag over your head, don't just suck in air and give up. Fight! Suck in air and bite that bag! It's like you don't even want to try and live!

3. Stay on the first floor

Face it. The basement is hard to get out of, unless you have doors, and the upper levels leave you prone for injuries.

4. If you hear a noise, do not go investigate it.

And if you do, at least bring a weapon with you.

5. Upgrade your security system.

If you do not have one, GET A SECURITY SYSTEM!

6. If you don't recognize the number calling you, don't pick it up!

If It's important, they'll leave a message! Someone attempting to kill you probably won't waste their time leaving you a voicemail.

7. Don't share every shred of your personal life on social media.

You never know who could be stalking you.

8. Don't invite strangers over, or go to their place.

*cough cough* Craigslist killer. *cough cough* Tinder.

9. If you are alone, do not let anyone know.

"You gonna regret it" - Adelaide (American Horror Story, Season one)

10. Trust your GPS, follow your GPS.

Absolutely NO shortcuts!


For Slasher films:

1. Stay in school

2. Don't go outside (especially the woods, or field, or lake, or summer camp, or stream)

3. Don't split up or let yourself be alone

4. Don't do drugs (Or alcohol for that matter, you need to be alert!)

5. Trust no one (It's always the quiet ones...)

6. For the love of chastity, do not have premarital sex. (Immoral acts lead to a quicker demise.)


To conclude, use your brain and follow the guide lines given to you! Do not be ignorant! Take a self defense class and get a taser.

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.
