Thank You and Goodbye, TVD!

Seven years, almost eight seasons now. Where has the time gone, TVD?

Thank You and Goodbye, TVD!
Hypable

On October 21, I am sure I was not the only one who was thrilled for the eighth season of Vampire Diaries. It is an exciting yet sad moment, because when it premiered that Friday night, it was the last premiere of a new season. That's right, folks; TVD is coming to an end with season eight.

For almost eight years, we have welcomed the Salvatore Brothers, Elena Gilbert, Caroline Forbes, and Bonnie Bennett. Those are only a few characters that have dug themselves a spot in our beating hearts.

I didn't get to start watching TVD from the beginning. I started watching it on Netflix and finally caught up in time to watch season 4 on television. I even got my mom hooked on the show. It became routine to shut up, turn the tv on, and watch the new episode.

I will admit that I have questioned Julie Plec on the last few seasons, because I just didn't know how to react to seasons 6 and 7. They were different from the prior seasons, but I loved them just the same. Vampire Diaries has become one of the biggest fandoms out there.

I have told y'all before that I write my own stories on Wattpad, a site that allows me read others' stories and write my own. Vampire Diaries has brought people from all over the world together just through one connection: they love the show. Fanfiction- what fans write inspired by said show and give their own spin to the overall plot- is everywhere.

The reason for this article isn't just to tell you facts about The Vampire Diaries. I wanted to tell Julia Plec thank you for producing this amazing show. Not only have I met some interesting people just by sharing the love we have for TVD, but I have also made friends that I consider almost like family.

This past July, Julie and the cast posted a video on YouTube, thanking the fans for letting them into our homes and telling us that we helped them create the family that they have now from the show. I started crying because I hate that this season will be the last of any new episodes. I understand, though; as a writer myself, I know the feeling when a story has come to an end and nothing else can be done. With that, here are some of the things that TVD has taught us.

Damon Salvatore taught us that it is alright to be ourselves. That we don't have to change for anyone. Family is important. No matter the fights, family is a strong bond. We see this with Stefan and Damon. They will always be brothers. They love and protect each other. They both have faults, but they are what makes them stronger.

Stefan Salvatore showed us that giving up is never the answer. Hope is what keeps us going. Not every love can be epic, but it can still be important and exciting. Blood is thicker than water. I love both the Salvatore Brothers, but what I love about Stefan is that he stays humble and kind (most of the time). He takes control and tries to do whatever it takes to save someone he loves, even if it means sacrificing himself.

I am going to end it on Elena Gilbert. This girl has been to hell and back. She taught us to love fearlessly, to go on adventures- that it is okay to love two people at the same time, because we are lucky to even fall in love once in our very human lives. Elena is loyal to her loved ones even when they aren't blood. She sticks by her friends, and she taught us that it is okay to cry. Don't bottle things up. Lastly, don't judge a book by its cover; always see the good in people. They may surprise you!

So I want to see say thank you again to Julie Plec and the Vampire Diaries Cast. The last seven years have been great. I am looking forward to going out with a bang with this last season, so don't let me down.

Goodbye. I will miss this show a lot.

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.
