So as we all know, "Pretty Little Liars" finally ended almost two weeks ago now. After seven long seasons and years, the convoluted lives of Spencer, Hanna, Aria, Emily and Alison have finally been wrapped up. Prior to the two hour finale, we were told that all of our questions would be answered and everything would be concluded, however there were still some issues that were either not answered or never addressed at all. I'd like to initiate a little discussion on the final episode in the hopes of understanding at least a little bit of what the hell happened.

First off, the opening of the show was a little strange. Now I know "PLL" has a tendency to do odd and outlandish scenes that usually end up being dreams, but this one was just confusing. The girls were sitting outside in the middle of Rosewood drinking coffee at night when Lucas begins tap dancing and Jenna rides by in a ringmaster costume on a horse...what??? I get it, this is Mona's dream while she's inside of the mental hospital, but I just don't get why? Yeah she's crazy, but nothing on "PLL" is done by mistake. There must be some symbolism in what Jenna and Lucas are doing, but I have yet to figure it out.

Also, can someone please tell me what the point of Addison is? She's supposed to be a new younger version of Alison, but why is this necessary at all???????????? We knew Alison in high school for six seasons so there is NO reason to bring in another character to mimic her former self. The final scene where Addison and her four friends are having a sleepover and Addison goes missing is also unnecessary. Before this episode aired we were told that the show would end the same way it began. I didn't realize that this was what they meant. I do not want this. There is no reason to do it all over again.

The girls then throw Aria and Ezra a bachelor/bachelorette party at the Lost Woods, which Spencer and Alison co-own thanks to Mary Drake. I cannot wrap my head around this. After all of the horrible awful things that happened at the Lost Woods, why on earth would they want to be there? Literally nothing good happens there. Speaking of bad things at the Lost Woods, how do the characters on this show have such incredible masks? I'm legitimately asking this question because I want to know.

Now for the most important topic of the show: how did the moms get out of the basement? Seriously. We were told for sure that we would find out in this episode, but the only thing they revealed was that Emily's mom couldn't drink wine for a year afterwards. What???? I'm not satisfied.

No, we don't.

Okay, the actual most important part of the show is the fact that SPENCER HAS A TWIN. I read this theory online a bunch of times in the weeks before the episode premiered and even rewatched the entire last season to see if I could spot any clues of the twin (I did). I'm really glad that Marlene King went with this storyline because I feel like a lot of "PLL" is based on twins and it just made sense. I only had one problem with Alex, Spencer's twin--why on earth was she British? I want to know why this was actually necessary to include? And I'm sorry Troian, but your accent was really really annoying. Also, how does everyone in Rosewood seem to have access to these amazing underground prisons? Who built them? I want to know.

But, whatever, honestly. Even though this finale still left me with a lot of questions, I liked the way it ended. I've spent the last seven years of my life watching this show, it started when I was 12 years old and now I'm almost 19 and it's finally over. I feel like I grew up watching this show and even though it was annoying to watch at times and didn't always make sense, I'm glad I stuck with it. I am satisfied with how the show ended because regardless of my questions, I think all of Spencer, Hanna, Aria, Emily, and Alison's questions were answered. So thank you, "Pretty Little Liars", for getting me through middle school, high school, and the beginning of college. You were truly appreciated and will be very missed.

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!
