What Will Happen Next on American Horror Story: Roanoke?

It's the American Horror Story season heard 'round the world: the mysterious season six. Up until September 14th, no one had any idea what the theme of this season would be. After countless teaser trailers that were meant to throw you off the trail of the real theme, we finally found out that this season would be about the Lost Colony of Roanoke. If you don't know what that is, basically a bunch of colonists randomly just disappeared, with no evidence as to where they went or what happened to them. Instead of just doing the story about the colonists and what led to them disappearing, AHS decided to put a twist on the story. We are watching a fake documentary series called My Roanoke Nightmare, and it follows a young couple named Shelby and Matt, who tell their real life story about what happened to them when they moved to Roanoke. It then cuts back and forth between them and the dramatic reenactment, which shows the disturbing things that are happening to them, like teeth falling from the sky and straw dolls hanging from their ceiling. Even though now we know the theme of this season and we are two episodes in, there is still many questions to be answered about what all is going to happen in this season. I have been reading up on a lot of theories and coming up with my own, so let's brainstorm about where this season is going to take us.

First of all, we know it has been confirmed by the creator of the show that in the end, all the seasons will connect. This seemed impossible up until season four, but now there are many distinct connections. One of the main connections I see is how similar to Murder House it is. We got ghosts of colonists, a huge house with a bunch of murders taking place in it, and a lot of disturbing things happening. Sound familiar? This house has to be connected with Murder House in some way. Another connection comes from the creator himself, Ryan Murphy, who points out a connection to Freakshow. He says that in this season, we will learn the backstory of Dandy Mott's family. If you don't remember him, he's the spoiled brat turned psychopath killer. Maybe one of his ancestors was just like him, so that would be quite interesting. I guess we'll have to stay tuned to figure out that connection.

One of the theories that I read about, which would make this season one for the American Horror Story books, would be the breaking of the fourth wall. This means that the dramatic reenactment and the documentary part of the show would merge together in a way that would mess with your mind. Either the documentary part is being filmed in Roanoke and the strange things are going to start happening to them again, or these things are going to start occurring with the actors in the dramatic reenactment. Both of these things would definitely give the show the excitement it needs because, in my opinion, it hasn't picked up yet. I am still holding out hope that this season is going to be awesome, but it seems like we will have to wait a little bit for that to happen. If we waited months to find out the theme of the show, I think it will be easier to wait for it to have the typical American Horror Story twists that we all know and love.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
