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!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
