I have legit been slacking soooooo hard on my horror movies lately. I’ve been so busy with work full time, and an internship with my masters program I never get to just sit and watch movies like I used to! But this weekend I plan to do a long weekend before the summer semester kicks up and I feel so out of the loop.

I literally just watched Weapons a week ago while I was doing my finals and I watched Smile 2. Thinking they would be good for just background like for some reason I didn’t take ether seriously, but both genuinely had me looking sideways I was so mad I couldn’t get into it like I wanted. However the movie that had me on edge fr was Strange harvest, which was such a random pick! I forgot how much I LOVE mockumentary style horror movies. It was almost like the less over hyped version of long legs.

I know I need to see the newest installment of horror in the high desert (or is it any good? The last one was a miss for me) , I know I need to see bring her back, that movie looks like it should be in my crisis intervention’s research lol 😂. Any suggestions to fill up my weekend I’ll take it! I’m not super picky I’ll give anything a chance. My favorite like I said are that mockumentary style and like those movies that just have that off putting feeling like naked randoms in hereditary. I appreciate some well done gore and monster horror as well.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or feedback I genuinely appreciate it! I need badly to decompress and I think just zoning out with all the good horror movies is like peak relaxation for me.

I mean really, I was reading through another thread with the intention to respond but admittedly, I found myself so disgusted I couldn’t even be bothered. The vitriol towards online MSW programs and this notion that they “let everyone in” is just crazy to me. I would agree there are degree mills out here in every profession that prioritize bringing in cash not qualified applicants but that isn’t everywhere nor is it every online program, and those degree mills ALSO let in any in person student. I’m sorry but in person is a luxury for some ESPECIALLY older adult students who already work full time and also have other obligations a younger student may not have.

It’s so disappointing to see other potential MSWs and LCSWs push to keep out those students because of some idea that they are bringing the profession down. Especially if you aren’t in an online program and you have no clue how it runs. I’ve done both and one wasn’t easier than the other. I saw everything from online caps out so you know they let anybody in, which ironically is an insane lack of critical thinking considering it could just be an online program is more favorable in an economy where nearly every adult has to work full time, to, what could they possibly learn if they’re never in classroom setting. Again, most online programs while asynchronous, do have the requirement of sitting for a synchronous class. Mine is once a month for two hours.

I didn’t even know this nastiness existed because the in person cohort and online cohort in my current program keep in touch and we all help each other. The ONLY difference in our curriculum is where they, the in person students, have an exam at the end, we, the online students, have a huge paper that uses those same theories the in person students have to demonstrate competency in. I’ve seen a lot of other “we should keep out this person for this or that reason” rhetoric but this is already leaning into rant territory so I’ll just cap it here but I find this view so ignorant and unbecoming to a profession that is supposed to prioritize PEOPLE!

The amount of gate keeping rhetoric with a sprinkle of struggle Olympics through me for loop! “Well I don’t think you’ve struggled the way I did so you aren’t qualified” EXCUSE ME? You think our licensure exam will be easier because we were online? Some of us are taking 15 to 17 credit hours, including myself, working full time and doing a practicum but because I do my course work ONLY online and not in a classroom, you get to assume I was just “let in” like some kinda favor? I’m sorry that’s a disgraceful attitude to have towards someone that is likely just as stressed out and working just as hard as you.
