How To Get Away With Murder's Winter Finale Broke Our Hearts

Warning: This article contains spoilers!!

After weeks of anticipation, we finally know who is under the sheet. How To Get Away With Murder’s season 3 winter finale was beyond shocking for viewers. Many of us have had a lot of theories of who was under the sheet, but none of us anticipated this.

Leading up to this episode all of us thought that the Keating five were almost bound to be safe. We knew that Laurel was safe, but had been critically injured in the fire, and it was discovered that she was pregnant, due to the flash forward scenes throughout each episode of season 3. It also could not be Michaela, since it was known that the unidentified body was a male.

We knew that Asher was safe because he did not leave with Laurel that night to go to Annalise’s house. It couldn’t be Connor either because he was with Thomas that night.

We knew that it also could not be Wes because the flash forward scenes had shown Wes at the police station negotiating blanket immunity for turning in Annalise. But, unfortunately, we all had it wrong. The flash forward scenes had shown Wes at the police station, but what we did not know was, this was before a body was pulled out of Annalise’s burning house.

All bets were on Nate being the unidentified body, considering he was the last male shown in the house before the explosion. Also, we find out in the last few minutes of the episode that the unidentified body belongs to an African American male. So, it has to be Nate, right?! He was the last male shown to us in the house before the explosion, and he matches the characteristics of the deceased body. However, these theories were suddenly put to rest when Nate was the one shown going to the morgue to identify the body.

To our disappointment, we find out that the body is not Nate, but in fact Wes.

Wes’ death has many complications. For one, Laurel is now going to be pregnant and alone. It will be devastating for Annalise, considering she has done everything she could for him like: getting him off the Middleton waitlist, helping him cover up Sam’s murder, and eventually forgiving him for shooting her.

This will also devastate the students, as well as have long-term complications for Annalise and her career considering his body was found in her house and she is now in jail.

The episode ends with Nate visiting Annalise in jail, telling her that not only is Wes in fact dead, but he was dead before the fire! What happened to Wes? How was his body in Annalise’s house if he was already dead? Did Laurel see what happened when she walked in? We will have to wait until the show returns in January to find out.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
