The death of a beloved character.

CAUTION: READING THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS. IF YOU HAVE NOT YET FINISHED "ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK" SEASON 4 DO NOT PROCEED READING.

As some of you may know, "Orange Is The New Black" season four was released on Netflix last week.

It didn't take long for me to finish the entire season within a matter of days.

The common main point is that there is there that constant theme of how the guards are wrongfully treating the inmates. In the previous season, the guards executed a walkout, leaving Caputo without employees. This causes him to hire former veterans as guards and brings a guard from max to be the C.O. His name is Pisckatella, and he basically has no regard for the lives of the inmates, not caring for them as people, but he sees them as criminals. He orders the vets to do whatever he says, which includes making the inmates lives a living hell. They are told to frisk all of the Hispanics, which wasn't done properly. What they did was completely against what they were told to do; instead, they sexually assaulted the inmates.

Flaca, one of the inmates, came up with an idea to put something smelly on her body, causing the guards to avoid assaulting her. The guard was furious and in return, he punished her. Well, the joke turns on him because she ends up standing there for two days, sleeping and peeing in the very spot she stands. In the first episode, Lolly finds a guard trying to kill Alex and stomps him out in the greenhouse. They are both unsure of how to handle the dead guard in the greenhouse and end up cutting his body into pieces and burying him in the fertilizer in the garden. In the 12th episode, the body is found after construction is started to build a new dorm for the upcoming inmates. The architect in charge of the building decided to go through the garden and greenhouse to get to a water pipe. The exact same garden where there are pieces of a dead officer. After they find the parts, Pisckatella underminds Capoto's orders to wait for the F.E.D.S to arrive before interrogating the inmates, and starts interrogating. He automatically blamed Red, because she was put in jail for having dismembered bodies in her freezer. Previously in the season, Lolly had confessed to the to the prison guidance counselor that she had killed the guard, but he didn’t believe her, and after finding out the news that there was actually a body he went and told Pisckatella. Red was released but would not allow her to sleep. When the other inmates saw him forcing her not to sleep, they rebelled. Flaca went to stand on the table, then Piper, then Nicky, and before you knew it all inmates in the cafeteria at the time were standing on tables participating in a peaceful protest. Pisckatella ordered all guards to grab the inmates from off the tables. Baxter guard grabbed Poussey and put her on the ground. Susan was hitting Baxter so he would get off of Poussey. By doing this, she was pushing Baxter onto Poussey, causing her not to have enough space to breath.

When you watch a tv show you develop a relationship with the characters you like. The death of Poussey was so heartbreaking. I was crying, and I barely ever cry from watching shows, but this was serious.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
