85 Thoughts While Watching "Orange Is The New Black" Season 4

It had been way too long since the witty and raunchy ladies of Litchfield had entertained our Netflix screens. That was, until Friday June 17th, when our worlds and theirs turned upside down for another action-packed season. I thought it'd be best to react with the rest of the world with 85 of my thoughts from watching season four of "Orange Is The New Black."

*Warning: Spoilers Ahead (Separated by episode)*

Episode 1

1. Not this theme song again….*five seconds later* The animal, the animal, trapped, trapped, trapped 'til the cage is full…and youuuuuu’ve gottttt tiiiiiiime!

2. *Plot picks up with no ‘here’s what happened last season’* I definitely should have re-watched season three, where’s Sophia? What happened to Nichols? Where did Ruby Rose go again?

3. Oh, right. Everyone has low key escaped prison, and instead of actually running away, they go for a beach day (obviously?). And let's not forget Alex is about to get killed--what a comeback!

4. And so we return to Litchfield, a place where dreams, and sometimes people, go to die at. How fun.

5. Is Piper going to be any less annoying this season?…Nope. You are not “gangsta with an a” girlie!

6. Is this hitman’s ring tone really Daniel Powter’s one hit wonder “Bad Day”? Well, isn’t that ironic.

7. Crazy Eyes and bae out on the town. Are they really going to be the only ones who actually run away?

8. Wow, this Officer Piscatella is a bit pissy.

9. And now I can never look at a garden the same way again :’)

Episode 2

10. Too many new characters, too little time. Do I have to learn any of their names? We haven’t even got the backstories of all the originals yet!

11. TBT to Larry, am I right? I do kind of miss seeing life not in the prison, but not that idiot.

12. Machetes and birthday cake, what a combo! The Dominican Republic looks pretty lit for a 5-year-old's birthday party.

13. Judy King! I’m confused; is she supposed to be a ginger Martha Stewart? Or a Paula Deen?

14. To be honest, this whole snoring plot line just isn’t doing it for me; pick it up writers! And now they’re romanticizing gas stations? What is this season?!

15. Nooooo, Pennsatucky/Doggett (what do we call her now?) is just trying to help a girl out!

16. Piper got a henchman now too? I cannot see this going well.

Episode 3

17. Note to OITNB: If I have time to leave the room, walk down a flight of stairs, grab a snack, walk back up, and return to the theme song still playing, it's TOO long.

18. Taystee, back at it again with the biz-pro blazers.

19. Let the ginger wars begin! This southern belle has nothing on Russian Red.

20. Well, Mr. Sex Offender letting little Asian petitioners into your home: if your crime really wasn’t that bad, maybe lose the creepy mustache.

21. Oh no, Soso is soso gonna get in trouble for stereotyping her prison wife.

22. No offense Chapman, but your “thug” life is going to end real quick if you make enemies with a drug kingpin's daughter.

23. Taystee better *watch* her "Game of Thrones" references, because I can only catch up with so many shows at a time.

24. Told you Brook like the stream! I'm not going to cry you a river over that one, but hey, for once they mended a story line within an episode.

25. I forgot how on point the closing songs are.

Episode 4

26. Sophia is finally back and not looking too hot, but for the life of me I CANNOT remember why she was sent away.

27. For one time in her life, Lolly actually needs to be paranoid.

28. Alex: Can you keep a secret? Red: I love secrets. *Becomes show's most relatable character*

29. Am I actually feeling bad for Sam Healy? What is this season coming to?

30. Sure, because being a pacifist means tackling someone to the ground. Say "Aloha" to the dirt gf.

31. Stop it, Poussey helping with the cooking class melts my heart just like that butter.

Episode 5

32. They should rename this season "Caputo Trying To Do Good Things And Failing Miserably."

33. Linda is the Dolores Umbridge of "Orange Is The New Black" and she needs to be killed off.

34. Maritza is a low key baller, who knew?

35. Pahahahaha leave it to Piper to accidentally start a white supremacy game, is it rude to say 'karma'?

Episode 6

36. Ayyy Nichols is back? And three years sober, that’s amazing! Still offended she didn’t mention the capitol of Minnesota in her clean sweep.

37. Soso and Poussey are actually so adorable, they beat out any other prison romance especially because Piper is not a part of it.

38. How is everyone’s eyeliner in prison so on point?

39. Now that we’re at it, eyebrows too! Between Red, Alex, Piper, and the duo of Maritza and Flaca, eyebrow game on fleek.

40. Oh hell no is Luschek being forced to trade his "services" to Judy King. My whole body is cringing.

41. Chapman just started a war, Nichols is back on drugs and Sophia might be dead? This season sure escalated quickly.

Episode 7

42. Whoever they hired to play young Lolly is KILLING IT, voice match on point.

43. The things we do for tabloid pics, I swear. Do you think this was a real competition when Martha or Teresa from "The Real Housewives" was in prison?

44. This could be the most depressing back story ever, all she’s doing is making the neighborhood coffee! Stupid gentrification getting in the way.

45. Nikki's back and already causing trouble, one poop crime at a time.

46. When the Latino Gang goes 0 to 100 REAL QUICK. I can't watch.

Episode 8

47. I kind of find Red’s bunkmate hilarious now, is that bad? Like all she does is sit there and get hit in the face.

48. The only redeeming quality of Piper is her adorable brother Cal, his banjo-playing hippie soul gives me hope. :’)

49. That man candy THOUGH! For once the construction worker is the one getting cat called, good work OITNB.

49. “I’m the friendliest racist you’re ever gonna meet.” Really, Judy King? Reel. It. In.

50. They all smoke CRACK now? Super casual, like just a first time prison meth deal.

51. Ah snap, Judy King is kissing Black Cindy?

52. AND IF YOU COULDN’T HATE LINDA MORE.

Episode 9

53. Flores' real name is Bianca? And she used to have two eyebrows? This truly is an eye opening episode.

54. I'm sorry are we just not going to talk about how Alex and Piper did crack once and can just not do any drug again?

55. Why on earth does a guard not put on his resume that he speaks perfect Spanish? That’s how you know homie is pure evil.

56. I KNEW IT. C.O. Humphrey is so psychotic.

Episode 10

57.Yay for someone finally getting out, Diaz is gonna do good things I can feel it.

58. There's this magical thing called cruel and unusual punishment on, what was it again? The Bill. of. Rights.

59. Leave it to The Wiz to be the final fuel of a race war, are you kidding? Diana Ross just wanted to dance.

60. Piscatella is really starting to piss me off (it's just too easy with a name like that).

61. The hot guy found the body of course, now he's scared forever.

62. Side Note: Why do inmates almost always wear long sleeves? It has to be hot out doing that manual labor.

Episode 11

63. Judy king does Molly now? I’m sorry, are we at an EDM festival?

64. This Josh guy deserves to be in prison just for that ridiculous grey zip-up vest underneath a suit combo. Plus, his face is just one of those you want to punch.

65. OMG, why on God’s green earth is this elderly promiscuous time happening? There are so many wrinkles involved.

66. 10/10 would endorse the Nichols/Pennsatucky friendship.

67. And I thought Pornstache was the nastiest C.O. ever, Humphrey is the worrrrrst.

Episode 12

68. Humps is terrible for his actions, his attitude, and his heinous nickname.

69. Gotta love the "Sherlock" reference, Benedict Cumberbatch's adoring fans know no bounds.

70. Officer Bayley is literally the sweetest, we need more of him in the world.

71. Was the “Millennials really are the worst” comment necessary?

72. Hate to break it to you Lorna, but you are the crazy one.

73. No no no no no no no no no no no this cannot be real. You CANNOT take away the best character on this show.

74. Nope, I'm not crying. It's just allergies, or dust, or me realizing we have no good candidates for the presidential election.

Episode 13

75. This is so messed up. Also, Norma can sing?

76. “I've sat in chairs and they’ve broken right under me”? Such amazing consoling!

77. Twenty minutes in and tears are still strolling.

78. Humps is now bringing in a gun? Because THAT'S the proper way to handle things.

79. Why is there a poetry slam right now? Red, this is not the time.

80. I'm really not into this whole Nikki/Lorna argue time right now either; back to the main events, please!

81. Don't show me Poussey being all happy in a NYC club when I know she's gone forever, the pain is too real.

82. Why is no one helping Soso? This girl is a wreck and a half.

83. Wow, if this show is not a huge metaphor for everything wrong in the world, then I don't know what is.

84. Caputo, nooooooooo. Say her name!

85. My. Jaw. Is. Dropped. What. Is Happening. Why do we have to wait another year to find out??

Until next season...RIP Poussey Washington :'(

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
