What Will Happen Next on American Horror Story: Roanoke?

It's the American Horror Story season heard 'round the world: the mysterious season six. Up until September 14th, no one had any idea what the theme of this season would be. After countless teaser trailers that were meant to throw you off the trail of the real theme, we finally found out that this season would be about the Lost Colony of Roanoke. If you don't know what that is, basically a bunch of colonists randomly just disappeared, with no evidence as to where they went or what happened to them. Instead of just doing the story about the colonists and what led to them disappearing, AHS decided to put a twist on the story. We are watching a fake documentary series called My Roanoke Nightmare, and it follows a young couple named Shelby and Matt, who tell their real life story about what happened to them when they moved to Roanoke. It then cuts back and forth between them and the dramatic reenactment, which shows the disturbing things that are happening to them, like teeth falling from the sky and straw dolls hanging from their ceiling. Even though now we know the theme of this season and we are two episodes in, there is still many questions to be answered about what all is going to happen in this season. I have been reading up on a lot of theories and coming up with my own, so let's brainstorm about where this season is going to take us.

First of all, we know it has been confirmed by the creator of the show that in the end, all the seasons will connect. This seemed impossible up until season four, but now there are many distinct connections. One of the main connections I see is how similar to Murder House it is. We got ghosts of colonists, a huge house with a bunch of murders taking place in it, and a lot of disturbing things happening. Sound familiar? This house has to be connected with Murder House in some way. Another connection comes from the creator himself, Ryan Murphy, who points out a connection to Freakshow. He says that in this season, we will learn the backstory of Dandy Mott's family. If you don't remember him, he's the spoiled brat turned psychopath killer. Maybe one of his ancestors was just like him, so that would be quite interesting. I guess we'll have to stay tuned to figure out that connection.

One of the theories that I read about, which would make this season one for the American Horror Story books, would be the breaking of the fourth wall. This means that the dramatic reenactment and the documentary part of the show would merge together in a way that would mess with your mind. Either the documentary part is being filmed in Roanoke and the strange things are going to start happening to them again, or these things are going to start occurring with the actors in the dramatic reenactment. Both of these things would definitely give the show the excitement it needs because, in my opinion, it hasn't picked up yet. I am still holding out hope that this season is going to be awesome, but it seems like we will have to wait a little bit for that to happen. If we waited months to find out the theme of the show, I think it will be easier to wait for it to have the typical American Horror Story twists that we all know and love.

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.
