Where Is 'American Horror Story' Heading To Next?
Wet Paint

If you haven't heard of the popular anthology horror series,"American Horror Story," you are certainly missing out. I started watching "American Horror Story," or "AHS" when it was first released in 2011, with season one: Murder House. The series has six seasons, and is perhaps one of the most talked about shows on social media. The television series is also known for it's kick-ass reoccurring cast: the handsomely talented Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, and Angela Bassett, and that is just to name a few.

The most recent addition to the series, "AHS: Roanoke" is about a couple who move to the South, particularly to the land where the famous Roanoke Colony is said to have vanished.This season is presented as a documentary with reenactments and is split into two shows in itself. At first I was a little confused and I did not realize it is a reenactment until later episode two. Episodes one through eight were amazing, I was absolutely left on edge. However, for the last two episodes, nine and ten, were easily predicted.

Without giving too many spoilers, I personally expected to see the return of Rory (Evan Peters), Agnes (Kathy Bates), Shelby (Lily Rabe), Matt (André Holland), Elias (Dennis O'Hare), Monet (Angela Bassett), and Dominic (Cuba Gooding Jr.) in ghost form. I also wanted to know more about Scathach (Lady Gaga), the witch. However, rumors are circulating that we will learn more about her in future seasons.

Season six was perhaps the goriest, and certainly the scariest, but it wasn't the best. The best season and the reason the show became popular is of course, the first season, "Murder House." "Murder House" is full of disturbing, yet realistic scenarios.

Season one follows the Harmons: Ben (Dylan McDermott), Vivien (Connie Britton), and Violet (Taissa Farmiga) in their move from Boston to L.A. Violet is a depressed teen, who is suicidal, and prefers to be alone. She was frequently bullied, and was deeply annoyed with her parents uprooting her life to move. Vivien had just lost a baby, and was suffering from not being able to be sexually aroused. Her husband Ben is a practicing therapist and a professor. The first season beings with a pivotal scene that led the family to move: Vivien walking in on Ben having sex with a student of his.

They move in to this beautiful house that was on sale for an extremely low price, similar to what happened in "Roanoke". However, they get more than they bargained for, the house is haunted with some extremely disturbed spirits. Season one takes viewers on a journey of the history of the house, while showing how everything happening is connected to the present day family that lives there: the Harmon family. Some of the spirits there are even based on real people, like Elizabeth Short, aka. the Black Dahlia.

I'd go as far to say that perhaps season one and six were two of my favorites. Plenty of critics disagree, stating that season six lacked something; however, the only thing that I believe it lacked was a sense of realism. I felt that the characters in season one really related to their characters, where as in season six you had certain actors playing more than one role, and it took away from their primary characters.

As the seasons progresses, you'll notice subtle similarities all connecting back to "Murder House." I promise you, each season of "AHS" does not disappoint, some will leave you wanting more and questioning, "what happens next." It's rumored the show is already renewed for two more seasons and it appears that Murphy and Falchuk, the creators, have plenty more twisted ideas up their sleeves. Stay tuned in to FX to find out.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
