Tim Burton Creations as High School Stereotypes

Back-to-school season came early this year, folks.

Yes, it is that time once again for me to overanalyze filmmaking! I absolutely love Tim Burton and his unique mix of eclectic and spooky. You might know him from his directorial position on "The Nightmare Before Christmas," which is, for sure, one of his most popular works. Because I feel like writing something different from what I usually do, I have decided to share how I believe Tim Burton's "children" (eek, that sounds creepier than I anticipated) would take on four years of a pubescent teenager's paradise. Keep in mind, I tried to match these clique descriptions as best I could to the most common personalities I have seen throughout high school, both firsthand and through hearing about other friends' experiences. Here we go!

1. The Elite Crowd - The Red Queen and her Court (Alice in Wonderland reboot)

There's always that group of people in high school that everyone wants to be in good standing with, even if they aren't the friendliest people. Whether the consequence is social ridicule, or in this case, hearing "Off with your head!" shouted all day, you don't want to get on their bad side.

2. The Weirdo - Edward (Edward Scissorhands)

Next, we have the kid that no one really knows what they might be thinking. With Edward, it's safe to say it's the fact that he was made by a scientist. Talk about embarrassing.

3. Prom King and Prom Queen - Jack and Sally (The Nightmare Before Christmas)

I shouldn't have to explain this one. It's pretty self-explanatory.

4. THAT Couple/ "We get it, you're together." - Emily and Victor (Corpse Bride)

Solemnly vowing to enforce their undead PDA, until life do they part. Here we have another one of Tim Burton's most classic characters. This obnoxious ghost spends most of her free time messing with the living and trying to hook up with anything - living or dead - that appears to be male.

5. The Burnout - Betelgeuse (Beetlejuice)

Here we have another one of Tim Burton's most classic characters. This obnoxious ghost spends most of his free time messing with the living and trying to hook up with anything - living or dead - that appears to be female.

6. The Literal Serial Killer - Sweeney Todd (Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street)

All right, this one might be a little harsh. I'm not trying to be judgmental or anything. Still there's that one kid in your math class that does freak you out a little....

7. The Favorite Teacher - Mr. Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory reboot)

I would sign up for a cooking class if Willy Wonka was the teacher, hands down. Would that be the best chocolate soufflé or what?

8. The "Freaky" One - Lydia Deetz (Beetlejuice)

Do you see ghosts, wear black headpieces, and walk around in a constant state of gloom? Congratulations, your name must be Lydia Deetz. To be honest, I would most likely hang out with this girl.

10. Student Body President - Alice Kingsleigh (Alice in Wonderland reboot)

When student government elections roll around, people tend to think it's a popularity contest more than anything. However, more often than not, people would rather vote for someone who has something good to say, versus the person who gives out the most "Vote for (insert name here)" candy bribes. Slay that Jabberwocky and dethrone the Red Queen, and the school is saved!

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?

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.
