Review: American Horror Story: Cult

Politics and clowns can be very scary

Review: American Horror Story: Cult

I wasn't too sure what to think about this season of American Horror Story. With the way things are using the 2016 Presidential campaign, could ruffle some people feathers the wrong way. But it’s what we have to deal with like it or not. Since a young child I’ve loved horror. I can’t say that I’ve watched every season of American Horror Story from beginning to end but I have watched them here and there. Season seven of American Horror Story: Cult opened with the 2016 Presidential campaign. It also takes place in my home state of Michigan. Which was honestly a very horrifying experience, the election not my home state.

Three of the characters this season are Ally Mayfair-Richards played by Sarah Paulson, her wife Ivy Mayfair-Richards played by Alison Pill, and their 10-year-old son Oz Mayfair-Richards played by Cooper Dodson. While Oz watches that his parents and their friends are upset over the results, they assure him that nothing will happen to them. On top of the election and the elections aftermath Ryan Murphy decided to throw in Ally's anxiety and phobias (her fears of clowns and holes) to give it the scary element. I'm not afraid of clowns, but to be honesty if I saw anything like Twisty in real life; I'd would be scared. I'd be very scared indeed.

We also meet Winter and Kai Anderson. I believe their twins or they just might be brother and sister. But either way they have a strange relationship between the two of them. Winter ends up babysitting for Oz and while the moms are out they witness a murder form Ivy and Ally’s friends (The Chang’s) next door. Winter later lies to Ally and Ivy saying he only came outside when he saw the police. A gang of clowns come and torture and kill Mr. and Mrs. Chang in their home. Re-watching the episode I believe that Kai had something to do with it. At a city hall meeting Kai made protest, regarding extra deputies standing guard at the local Jewish Community Center. After his speech Mr. Chang, pretty much tears him down. Especially after he goes on a long rant. As he walking away he says that “there is nothing more dangerous than a humiliated man.” Which makes me think he was behind the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Chang. I could be wrong, it’s just my theory.

I’m excited to see where Murphy takes this season of AHS. It looks very promising.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
