*SPOILERS AHEAD*

If you are a fan of AHS, you know season 7 of the popular American horror television show premiered on Tuesday, Sept. 5 on FX. This horrifying season is titled "Cult", the plot involves the result of the 2016 American election and an assumed cult of terrifying clowns. After watching the first episode and shaking the initial terror from my mind, I have 3 questions that I would like to have answered in episode 2.

1. Is Ally (Sarah Paulson) Insane or actually being targeted?

Since Trump was elected President of the United States, Ally's phobias of clowns, small holes in objects, and blood begin to return. Ally goes to see her therapist after her wife, Ivy urges her to. The therapist prescribes her anti-anxiety medication. She refuses to take the medicine and begins to see clowns and imagine objects with small holes and blood. When Ally would contact Ivy or tell the police, they said there's no evidence and think she's insane. Is Ally just imagining the group of clowns due to her anxiety being heightened from the election or are they a dangerous cult that is actually targeting her? Perhaps from her loyalty to Clinton? But if the clowns are real, why is Ally also seeing her other phobias?

2. Who is the cult and what do they want?

In episode one, we aren't directly shown the cult or told what the cult's mission is, but I can assume the cult is run by a insane Trump supporter and is targeting the Clinton supporters by scaring or torturing them with terrifying clowns. This theory would make sense in Ally's case since she is a huge Clinton supporter. At the end of the episode, one of the families in Ally and Ivy's neighborhood was brutally slain and the cops call it a murder suicide- no talk of clowns. While Oz, Ally and Ivy's son, claims he saw a group of scary clowns pull up to the house in an ice cream truck and murder the family. Maybe the family was a big supporter of Hilary Clinton and the cult (the clowns) murdered them for that twisted reason? Sounds like American Horror Story to me, but we will find out, hopefully in episode 2.

3. Is Kai (Even Peters) the leader of the cult?

From the beginning of the episode, Kai acts in a strange manor. He is ecstatic when Trump wins the election- in sharp comparison to everyone else's devastation. Therefore his actions left me with an uneasy feeling about his character. He goes as far to crush cheese puffs and paste them on his face to resemble Trump's fake tan. If the cult's intension is to terrorize or kill Clinton supporters, I would assume Kai to secretly be the leader because of his intense enthusiasm towards Trump's election. Furthermore, his conversation with his sister, Winter left me feeling even more suspicious about Kai. Winter tells Kai "I'm so scared now," and Kai replies with a malicious grin "Everyone is." This leads me to believe Kai is the leader and is potentially banking on America's fear of the government to fuel his cult?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
