The Walking Dead, Bringing on the Tears

Warning: several spoilers included!

The Walking Dead, Bringing on the Tears

One of the most anticipated tv seasons of the year has finally arrived...season seven of "The Walking Dead." After season six's excruciating cliff hanger, fans have been waiting, theorizing, and hoping for a positive outcome for their favorite characters. Who did Negan kill? Everyone was desperate to find out and now, we got our answer.

The producers shocked us all by not only killing off one major character, but two. And fans everywhere are not happy.

At first when Abraham died, many people happily accepted it. Of course we were all upset and sad, but you know, we can accept Abraham dying. He wasn't with us from the beginning. He wasn't the most loving character. He could even be a bit annoying in my opinion. But adding Glenn to it? I think fans everywhere were outraged.

How can they kill Glenn? The most beloved character? He had everything: Maggie, a baby on the way, good leadership skills, etc. They already convinced fans he died at the beginning of season six, why bring in another round of tears by actually killing him??

Okay, Glenn aside, the rest of the episode I thought was a great start to the season. Especially after dropping those two big bombs of death, the producers gave us a lot of time to process all the horrible things happening in the episode. Now, Rick and the gang have to provide for Negan and his people, suffer the loss of two great characters, and come up with a plan on how to (I'm assuming they will) defeat Negan.

I think what really threw people was the graphic violence. Not only physically, but mentally! We saw the graphic deaths of Abraham and Glenn, but we also saw the horrible things Negan expects of them. Almost making Rick chop off his son's hand?! Imagine what Rick was going through mentally!

Then to top it all off, the emotional ending was tough. Seeing Maggie lose it and the dinner scene with Abraham and Glenn (and the baby!) before carrying them both away was incredibly tough. On top of that, we all see Daryl, a fan favorite, was taken by Negan and will be held captive. It will be interesting to see how everything with him plays out.

This season is definitely going to be a different one. The entire tone has changed and everything has become much darker. Some people have even said this season is sort of like the start of a whole new show. Everything is going to change now. Rick won't be the leader and that entire concept is completely new. It will be very interesting to see how the group handles everything. I can foresee people disagreeing with how Rick will work with them, which will probably create some tension among all of them.

This seasons is definitely going to be a good one. Despite the horrific outcome everyone was anticipating, we will get through it (well, maybe). The rest of this season will be intense, anticipating, and I'm sure keeping everyone at the end of their seats!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
