Recap: The Walking Dead Season 7 Premiere

Remember when a herd of Walkers was the worst thing that could happen?

Recap: The Walking Dead Season 7 Premiere
AMC

OH. MY. GOD.

Did you see The Walking Dead last night?

If you didn't, stop reading NOW.

If you did, are you okay? I'm not.

There are spoilers ahead, so seriously, I can't be held accountable for you any longer.

Are you ready? Go now or be spoiled.



GLENN. GLENN. I don't even think I can put my feelings into words. I literally screamed when Negan hit him.

At first I was really disappointed. The cast and crew talked this moment up as "a death that had to be justified for episodes and episodes after it happened." When Negan killed Abraham, I was disappointed. Sure, his character had a lot of potential, but he wasn't a staple to the show. I was in the middle of tweeting "Is that all you got AMC?" when the second death happened.

And it was Glenn.

We had all theorized that Negan would off two people in last night's premiere, but we never thought they would off Glenn in such a savage, gruesome, heartbreaking way. OH, and his last words.

"Maggie, I'll find you."

I could hear my heart shatter into microscopic pieces inside my body.

Eye hanging out of his head, choking on his own blood, brain exposed, and Glenn was worried about Maggie, which made it so much harder to swallow. This was, by far, the most harrowing death that TWD has ever given us. I'm still sick from it.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan absolutely nailed the part of Negan. His attitude, his menace, his level-headed, sociopathic approach to torture and death, Morgan hit it all. Forget The Governor, forget walkers, forget anything we've encountered thus far, it's Negan who is the ultimate threat. Remember when everyone used to say, "fight the dead, fear the living?" Yeah, we've hit the epitome of that. When Negan's time as a villain is up, one way or another, on the show, they are going to have to work impossibly hard to outdo the threat of Negan. He's personable, he's extreme, he's everything in a villain we love to hate and hate to love. I honestly don't know that they'll be able to outdo this one.

He broke Rick, who the audience thought was unbreakable. After losing his wife so many seasons ago, and going through the pain of losing the prison and so many of his friends, thinking his baby was dead, and going through hell with Carl's ins and outs, Rick was bullet-proof in our eyes. Negan successfully proved that Rick could be broken, and if hope wasn't completely gone at that point, Rick's panic attack surely took the rest of it. I know the group will certainly find a way to defeat Negan, but it seems close to impossible in the state they are in now.

How did we go from the dream of a completely sustainable Alexandria to getting beat up in a parking lot? It only goes to show how unpredictable this show can be.

It looks like we're in for a hell of a season folks. I only have one more question:

Are you ready for King Ezekiel?

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
