Recap: The Walking Dead Season 7 Premiere

Remember when a herd of Walkers was the worst thing that could happen?

Recap: The Walking Dead Season 7 Premiere

OH. MY. GOD.

Did you see The Walking Dead last night?

If you didn't, stop reading NOW.

If you did, are you okay? I'm not.

There are spoilers ahead, so seriously, I can't be held accountable for you any longer.

Are you ready? Go now or be spoiled.



GLENN. GLENN. I don't even think I can put my feelings into words. I literally screamed when Negan hit him.

At first I was really disappointed. The cast and crew talked this moment up as "a death that had to be justified for episodes and episodes after it happened." When Negan killed Abraham, I was disappointed. Sure, his character had a lot of potential, but he wasn't a staple to the show. I was in the middle of tweeting "Is that all you got AMC?" when the second death happened.

And it was Glenn.

We had all theorized that Negan would off two people in last night's premiere, but we never thought they would off Glenn in such a savage, gruesome, heartbreaking way. OH, and his last words.

"Maggie, I'll find you."

I could hear my heart shatter into microscopic pieces inside my body.

Eye hanging out of his head, choking on his own blood, brain exposed, and Glenn was worried about Maggie, which made it so much harder to swallow. This was, by far, the most harrowing death that TWD has ever given us. I'm still sick from it.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan absolutely nailed the part of Negan. His attitude, his menace, his level-headed, sociopathic approach to torture and death, Morgan hit it all. Forget The Governor, forget walkers, forget anything we've encountered thus far, it's Negan who is the ultimate threat. Remember when everyone used to say, "fight the dead, fear the living?" Yeah, we've hit the epitome of that. When Negan's time as a villain is up, one way or another, on the show, they are going to have to work impossibly hard to outdo the threat of Negan. He's personable, he's extreme, he's everything in a villain we love to hate and hate to love. I honestly don't know that they'll be able to outdo this one.

He broke Rick, who the audience thought was unbreakable. After losing his wife so many seasons ago, and going through the pain of losing the prison and so many of his friends, thinking his baby was dead, and going through hell with Carl's ins and outs, Rick was bullet-proof in our eyes. Negan successfully proved that Rick could be broken, and if hope wasn't completely gone at that point, Rick's panic attack surely took the rest of it. I know the group will certainly find a way to defeat Negan, but it seems close to impossible in the state they are in now.

How did we go from the dream of a completely sustainable Alexandria to getting beat up in a parking lot? It only goes to show how unpredictable this show can be.

It looks like we're in for a hell of a season folks. I only have one more question:

Are you ready for King Ezekiel?

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
