One of the most anticipated tv seasons of the year has finally arrived...season seven of "The Walking Dead." After season six's excruciating cliff hanger, fans have been waiting, theorizing, and hoping for a positive outcome for their favorite characters. Who did Negan kill? Everyone was desperate to find out and now, we got our answer.

The producers shocked us all by not only killing off one major character, but two. And fans everywhere are not happy.

At first when Abraham died, many people happily accepted it. Of course we were all upset and sad, but you know, we can accept Abraham dying. He wasn't with us from the beginning. He wasn't the most loving character. He could even be a bit annoying in my opinion. But adding Glenn to it? I think fans everywhere were outraged.

How can they kill Glenn? The most beloved character? He had everything: Maggie, a baby on the way, good leadership skills, etc. They already convinced fans he died at the beginning of season six, why bring in another round of tears by actually killing him??

Okay, Glenn aside, the rest of the episode I thought was a great start to the season. Especially after dropping those two big bombs of death, the producers gave us a lot of time to process all the horrible things happening in the episode. Now, Rick and the gang have to provide for Negan and his people, suffer the loss of two great characters, and come up with a plan on how to (I'm assuming they will) defeat Negan.

I think what really threw people was the graphic violence. Not only physically, but mentally! We saw the graphic deaths of Abraham and Glenn, but we also saw the horrible things Negan expects of them. Almost making Rick chop off his son's hand?! Imagine what Rick was going through mentally!

Then to top it all off, the emotional ending was tough. Seeing Maggie lose it and the dinner scene with Abraham and Glenn (and the baby!) before carrying them both away was incredibly tough. On top of that, we all see Daryl, a fan favorite, was taken by Negan and will be held captive. It will be interesting to see how everything with him plays out.

This season is definitely going to be a different one. The entire tone has changed and everything has become much darker. Some people have even said this season is sort of like the start of a whole new show. Everything is going to change now. Rick won't be the leader and that entire concept is completely new. It will be very interesting to see how the group handles everything. I can foresee people disagreeing with how Rick will work with them, which will probably create some tension among all of them.

This seasons is definitely going to be a good one. Despite the horrific outcome everyone was anticipating, we will get through it (well, maybe). The rest of this season will be intense, anticipating, and I'm sure keeping everyone at the end of their seats!

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.

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.

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.
