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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
