Why Coven Is The Best Series Of AHS

There can only be one supreme season.

Why Coven Is The Best Series Of AHS
FOX

For four months of the year, my Wednesday nights are spent in front of the TV watching "American Horror Story." When it finally comes to an end, I am beside myself for almost a month ... then I start looking forward to the next season.

After watching all five bizarre and twisted series, I have come to the conclusion that "Coven" is by far the best. "Asylum" is a close second, but it doesn't compare to the dark, taboo drama that is "Coven." These are the reasons that I think "Coven" is (and probably always will be) the best series of "American Horror Story."

The intro.

Every season, there is a new intro to the show. "Coven" is definitely my favorite because of all of the vintage footage they used — and it was super eerie.

The location.

Filmed in New Orleans, Louisiana, this season of "AHS" did a fantastic job of including the city's architecture and culture. The housewhere a majority of the show took place is known to New Orleanians as Buckner Mansion and is a 166-year-old three-story beast.

The outfits.

All black — like Fiona's soul. From the floppy hats to the black boots, this cast wins best dressed in my book. It was the perfect touch to make the characters even more fierce.

Misty Day

I think its safe to say that Misty Day touched the inner hippie in all of us. Her beautiful, care-free soul was just what the show needed to break the tension. From her fringe kimono to her eclectic spirit, Misty Day was hands down my favorite character.

All that sass.

Madison Montgomery may have not been the Supreme witch but she definitely was the b*tch! She was the sassiest character throughout the season (even when she was dead)! She was the queen of shade.

Guest appearance by Stevie Nicks.

Though some may criticize the fact that Stevie made an appearance in this season, I really enjoyed it! It broke up the routine and made it a little more fun. We also got to see Misty Day fangirl hard over her. I thought her voice and sound was perfect for the tone of the show.

Marie Laveau

Angela Bassett did an amazing job portraying the queen of voodoo, Marie Laveau. Marie Laveau was a real-life New Orleans local that practiced voodoo. Everyone from New Orleans has heard of her and knows that she is one of the spirits that still haunts New Orleans today.

Kyle- Evan Peters

Though I don't find him as attractive as most girls do, I will say there is something very fascinating about him and all of the characters he plays. He is extremely good at being a broken and lost character. In "Coven" especially, Evan does an incredible job of being a 'pieces-parts' science project whipped up by Madison. Though this character is not as bizarre as Lobster Claws from Circus, I still think this monster was just as demented mentally and emotionally.

Fiona and Cordelia's Love-hate relationship.

Throughout the show we got to see the roller-coaster that is Fiona and Cordelia's mother-daughter relationship. Luckily for us viewers, the conflict between these two fueled a vast majority of the show's drama and action. They each took numerous jabs at each other, but everyone was always on Team Cordelia. I know that me and my mom fight sometimes and on some occasions I would swear that she is really a witch, but I don't think I could have the guts to kill her ... just goes to show who the real supreme is.

Whether you enjoyed coven or not, it is safe to say that this series of AHS brought out the sassy, dark, fierce witch in all of us.

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.
