AHS: My Roanoke Nightmare First Thoughts

After months of bated breath and endless theory-talk about the newest focus for the sixth season of the famed FX show American Horror Story (AHS), fans everywhere gathered around their televisions at 10 p.m.on Wednesday, September 14th and waited with thinning patience for the trademark music of AHS to appear...only it didn't.

After a few minutes of utter panic and a racing mind as I tried to decipher the opening moments of the show, the reveal occurred. Season Six is American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare. The Roanoke theory swirled around within fan groups earlier in the year, but quickly dissolved out as fans--myself included--became widely convinced that the new AHS plot had something to do with children. The teaser previews for season six always seemed to have a child laughter in the background or something related to children.

For those of you who are unaware of what exactly Roanoke is, allow me to provide an explanation. Roanoke is a colony from the earliest days of the United States of America, located in North Carolina. Every living soul that inhabited the Roanoke colony vanished without a trace in 1590. This is the perfect setup for a very eerie and mysterious story line for AHS. The fact that these people vanished leaves the ending to the show completely open.

The premiere featured some AHS veterans and some new faces who had never been a part of the cast before this season. Some familiar faces included Lily Rabe, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates. Some AHS newcomers who made their debut in the premiere included Cuba Gooding Jr., Andre Holland, and Adina Porter. We know that more confirmed cast members include AHS favorites such as Evan Peters, Matt Bomer, Lady Gaga and more.

What exactly do we think will happen on this season of AHS? Thus far, we've seen human teeth hailing down onto Sarah Paulson, creepy ladies (maids?) wandering throughout the house only to disappear suddenly, Paulson getting nearly drowned by mysterious arms in her hot tub, and creepy wooden figures arranged into mobiles throughout the entire house, and don't forget the skinned pig who was found on the porch. Does this imply witchcraft? Are the lost inhabitants of Roanoke the angry undead? Could demonic possession be a possibility? All theories are welcome and accepted, we're going to need all the help we can get.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
