In honor of the sixth "American Horror Story" premiere, a reflection of the past five seasons is completely necessary. Ryan Murphy (the genius creator behind "Glee" and "Scream Queens") has managed to create a plethora of memorable characters, but some are definitely better than others. As a die-hard fan of the show, I decided to discuss a few of my favorites. Feel free to comment below and include some of your favorite AHS characters.

*Disclaimer: For those of you who have not seen the full five seasons of the show, be warned. There are spoilers.*

10. Iris

As the desk clerk of the Hotel Cortez, Iris stood as a pivotal figure in the "American Horror Story: Hotel" cast. The heartbroken mother began to voluntarily commit suicide to be reunited with her deceased son. My poor heart...

9. Ben Harmon

Dylan McDermott is a beautiful human. (Okay, I know that this is supposed to be about characters, but it had to be said.) As an unfaithful husband and devoted father, Ben Harmon definitely battled his inner demons during the first season of "American Horror Story," but I would definitely love to his his face on screen again.

8. Misty Day

She worships Stevie Nicks. How could I not love Misty Day? In "American Horror Story: Coven," Misty discovers that she has the power of resurrection. She saves the lives of living creatures but eventually succumbs to her unending need to protect the weak. Her morals definitely reserve Misty a spot on my list.

7. Pepper

We are introduced to Pepper in Asylum, but we grow to love her in "American Horror Story: Freak Show." When she was abandoned in an orphanage at a young age, your heart broke for her innocent soul. But, when her husband Salty passed away as a result of his condition, your soul cracked in half. Who is with me?

6. Dr. Oliver Thredson

This psychopath's habit of skinning women is a tad creepy, but Dr. Thredson's storyline is the highlight of "American Horror Story: Asylum." His name is Bloody-Face, and he definitely doesn't care what anyone thinks about him. A serial killer posing psychologist is the best plot twist.

5. Dandy Mott

Ah, I love the smell of psychopaths in the morning. Dandy Mott's spoiled and self-centered nature combines with his murderous thirst to create an unstoppable force in "American Horror Story: Freak Show." He trains the art of killing by shadowing a serial-killing clown. Craziness.

4. Myrtle Snow

If you know me, you should be fully aware that I am partial to the crimped hair. Plus, Myrtle Snow is the best mentor that any blossoming witch could possibly wish for in life.

3. Cordelia Foxx

Who knew that the weakling of the Coven would eventually become the next Supreme? She mastered the seven wonders, kicked-out a cheating husband, and created an unbeatable academy. Cordelia Foxx epitomizes the ideas of strength and resilience.

2. Nora Montgomery

From her period clothing to her elitist attiude, Nora Montgomery adds a necessary flair to the first season of "American Horror Story." She only wants to have child revived, and she will do absolutely anything to quench that desire. Also, the bullet hole in the back of her head is a fabulous touch.

1. Fiona Goode

Jessica Lange will always be THE Supreme. Seriously. Bow down to the Queen of film, television, and stage. She has earned the respect. Plus, "American Horror Story" has not been the same since her departure.

Enjoy the new season, AHS-lovers! I can't wait to see what surprises Ryan Murphy has in store for us this year. #AHS4Life

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
