So I Watched Supernatural For The First Time In Forever

And I'm not sure how I feel about it.

So I Watched Supernatural For The First Time In Forever

I'll be the first person to say that "Supernatural"isn't my favorite show on the planet. I was hooked on seasons 1 through 5 some years back, I became the third wheel at several "Supernatural" conventions where my primary goal was to wander around the hotel aimlessly in hopes of catching one of the stars without purchasing an actual ticket (spoilers: it worked), and I eventually caved to get an autograph with Misha Collins and Mark Sheppard. It was really around season 6 and 7 that my interest in the show heavily declined so much so that I don't even remember what happened in season 6 at all.

So why would I, after all this time, decide to go back and watch a show I had long forgotten about? Well, "Supernatural" is an interesting beast in that the internet makes it seem as though something really cool is always happening on that show but then when I actually go to watch it, it doesn't appear to be as cool as I thought it would be. Once again, the internet tricked me and I found myself watching the season 11 finale. I also honestly have nothing else to write about and refuse to beat Marvel over the head with the whole Captain America fiasco.

This episode left me in confusion. That's all I can really say. Complete and utter confusion. I'm not talking about plot related confusion: the plot was actually pretty easy to understand considering I'm 5+ seasons behind. It left me emotionally confused. Dean has a thing for Amara but is still all bromancy/ we-might-be-gay-we-might-not-be with Cas? Why does this episode feel so boring and yet I'm intrigued by the plot twist at the end so I felt it was worth the boredom? Why haven't the Winchesters gone to Waverly Hills before when everyone and their mother knows that place is haunted? I mean, it's cool that they're there but why rush such a richly haunted place in the span of five or so minutes? Why not have an entire episode dedicated to it? Why do I even care about these things?

And I guess it comes down to this: "Supernatural" used to be so interesting and rich both in its diversity of characters and its stories. So it's very conflicting to watch an episode that is starting to bring back the old trends of what made the show so great yet is still also trying to hold those traits back. I've heard this season has gone back to having a "monster a week" episode trend every once in a while but will this continue to stick? Has this new plot twist (which I won't give away) brought back the potential of returning the show to its former glory? Are we going to go back to hunters doing what they do best: hunting things?

Really I'm at a loss here. But maybe I will put effort into season 12. Maybe.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
