"Glee" + "American Horror Story" = "Scream Queens"

A review

"Glee" + "American Horror Story" = "Scream Queens"

In the opening sequence, mean girl and Kappa Kappa Tau president, Chanel Oberlin, describes how sororities are seen as exclusive and a class system. She warns, “Guess what… Life is a class system.”

The best television show this fall is, without a doubt, "Scream Queens." It is the newest creation from Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan, who have previously produced hit shows, "Glee" and "American Horror Story." "Scream Queens" is a blend of those two shows. It has the gore and suspense of "AHS" as well as the witty humor and outrageous characters that were showcased in "Glee."

The cast includes "American Horror Story" alum Emma Roberts, "Glee" star Lea Michele, and many other famous actors like Abigail Breslin, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas.

The story is centered on the fictional sorority Kappa Kappa Tau. In 1995, they experienced the careless death of a sister during a party. Now, the daughter of KKT alumna, Grace, is determined to pledge the sorority and follow in her deceased mother’s footsteps. Despite her father who begs her not to join a sorority.

She convinces her roommate ZayDay Williams, portrayed by Keke Palmer, to rush the sorority along with her. After they meet Chanel, and her disciples Chanel #2, Chanel #3, and Chanel #5, Grace decides that she wants to dethrone her and create a real sisterhood in KKT with ZayDay as President.

The school’s new Dean Munch, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, confronts Chanel about the violations KKT has made over the years and threatens to revoke their chapter. Then, Gigi Caldwell, President of the National Chapter of KKT, comes to KKT’s rescue and to stop Dean Munch, who self-admittedly hates sororities.

As a result, the Dean declares that Kappa must allow anyone who wants to be a member to become a pledge. Chanel realizes that this will endanger her popularity and “relationship” with rich boyfriend Chad Radwell. They are now forbidden from picking pretty, rich, and popular girls to be pledges and are now stuck with a group of ragamuffins “affectionately” called Deaf Taylor Swift, Neckbrace, and Predatory Lez.

Then, after a death in the house that the sisters and pledges witness Chanel assures everyone that “secrets are the glue that binds sorority sisters together.” The ball starts rolling after that incident and the “Red Devil” comes for character after character. Every week he/she/them kills another character. Meanwhile, the Kappas and Dean Munch try to find out who is behind it all.

The suspense, comedy, and over-the-top style of "Scream Queens" has made it a must-watch show especially, for fans of "AHS" and "Glee."

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
