If you decide to indulge into the new Netflix thriller then you're in for a treat. You get to spend four hours exploring the mind of one of America's most notorious serial killers, Ted Bundy. The encounter can be somewhat scary at first, but as you dive in it starts to become more interesting and sheds light on the heinous crimes that Bundy committed. Going in, I knew that he was one of the United State's most successful serial killers, but I had little information about his preexisting life or trial process.

It's known that Bundy's murder spree started in the mid-'70s ranging from Washington, Colorado (possibly Idaho and California) but eventually ending in Florida. Bundy was known for abducting young women in their early twenties, raping them, and then, killing them. He confessed to some 30 murders before his death in 1989.

The four-part series tapes were not previously heard by the general public, and the 100 hours of interviews were conducted by two journalists, Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth. At the end of their experience, the two appear regretful about their project. "I thought that if Ted was telling the truth and that he had been set up. That it was one of a story," Michaud recollects in the first episode."

The two journalists during the time of the interviews were criticized for their part in allegedly aiding Bundy's defense, but in the long run, I think they brought a much bigger picture to the table. The documentary does an exceptional job of showing Bundy's mindset that he believed he was actually innocent of all the crimes he was accused of. Can a serial killer really be delirious?

In fact, they can be. Throughout the documentary, there are many clips of Bundy talking to the media or at one of his trials, and he seems to have convinced himself that he was innocent of all the allegations against him. It was only later after he was convicted that these tapes were recorded and he finally confessed to killing over 30 victims.

Conversations With A Killer really brings you inside the mind of Ted Bundy and shows you how delusional he really was during his trial processes. At the start, I thought the FBI just used him as a scapegoat for the crimes, but when learning of his childhood and relationships with women I really begin to develop that he really was a sick-minded person.

I hypothesized that Bundy could have suffered from dissociative identity disorder, or otherwise known as multiple personalities syndrome. In conclusion, that was never proven because he was sentenced to the death penalty and that was never found out. This documentary opened up my eyes and showed me inside the mind of Ted Bundy, and I gained a new perspective of him. IT IS A MUST WATCH!

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.

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.
