Pro's and Con's of the Pretty Little Liars Finale

It was unexpected

Tuesday June 7th, 2017, marked the end of an era. After seven years of being on the air, Pretty Little Liars came to an end. The past seven years led up to the final 2 hour series finale. As an avid watcher of the show and of the Pretty Little Liars After Show, I wasn't surprised when the finale finally aired. More importantly, I was more disappointed as to who was revealed to be "A.D," or the person that was threatening the girls since the beginning. That person was Spencer Hastings twin "Alex Drake." While fans were expecting Lucas or Melissa, they decided to throw in a character that us as an audience never met before. Although the acting by Troian Bellesario was phenomenal, the fact that they introduced a new character as A.D wasn't cool. Even though it was unexpected, it was still disappointing. In addition, there were a lot of characters missing from the finale. For example. Mike who is Aria's brother, Jason who is Ali's brother, Sydney who befriended Emily in the beginning, Paige who is Emily's ex girlfriend as well as a couple others. Even though it could have been due to each of these characters availability, the finale wasn't the same without them. Lastly, it left us on a cliff hanger. One of the last things we see is Mary and Alex Drake in dresses behind glass acting like dolls while Mona is watching. We also see Addison("Mini Ali") go missing at the end of the episode in a similar scene that was made in the pilot episode when Alison went missing. Even though there were some cons, there were also some pro's. The first is the final scene with the five main girls. Hanna announces she's pregnant! And Alison says a line that had me blabbing like a baby. That was "I feel like this is the end of something." Another positive was the Emison babies! We see that Ali and Emily now have twins who are so adorable. It was also good to see Jenna doing something good when she called Toby and said "Spencer isn't Spencer." Lastly, the Ezria wedding! The wedding was so beautiful and it was like love at first sight with those two. It was also good to see Marlene King the creator of PLL be apart of the finale. As a result, PLL is officially over and even though I had mixed feelings about the finale, I couldn't have asked for a better seven years.

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
