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!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
