Why "Once Upon A Time" Can Go to H*ll

My thoughts on the Season 5 mid-season finale (spoilers!).

Why "Once Upon A Time" Can Go to H*ll

I don't even know where to begin. I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest, and just beaten. If you're not caught up with "Once Upon a Time" (OUAT), stop reading now. Spoilers ahead.

I've been on an emotional roller coaster with "Once Upon a Time" from the beginning, but this season has been unreasonably stressful. Starting with "Dark Swan."

Who decided it would be OK just to make Emma into the Dark One? Like, who just thought that they had the right to write her into Darkness? Not cool, boo boo, not cool.

I just spent half a season trying to figure out why in the world Emma would curse everyone to find out that she was really doing to try and save everyone, more specifically Killian.

Emma turned Hook into a Dark One to save his life. What? Why is this OK? This will never be OK.

Emma cursed all of Storybrooke and was trying to unite Excalibur because she turned the man she loved into an evil being of dark magic! Emma's plan to fix this: unite Excalibur and use it to destroy the darkness by forcing it all into Zelena and killing her. While I'm all for getting rid of Zelena, I'm really not. Her sick twisted self adds a whole new layer of entertainment to every storyline she weasels her way into.

Can we just talk about Zelena for a moment? This b*tch has been stirring stuff up in Storybrooke since Season 3. Oddly enough, though, this season I've had to side with her on some things. I honestly don't understand why they don't just let her take her baby and be on her merry way to Oz.

I understand Robin is the father, but by means he didn't consent to. Just let her have the rape baby. Is it really too much of a stretch to believe this baby could actually make her turn over a new leaf? Too bad it definitely can't if Regina keeps taunting her like this.

Regina is my favorite character, which is why I can say she is the last person with any right to come between Zelena and her child. Hello Regina, have we forgotten your A+ mothering of Henry?

Regina literally summoned a cyclone to take Zelena to Oz and rip her away from her child. She's going to find her way back from somewhere over the rainbow to Storybrooke with a vengeance, and honestly you can't blame her.

Then there's the matter of Hook's death. Hook's evil plan was to make all of Emma's family go to hell so that all of the Dark Ones could be free to take over the world. Like, what? In this Mid-Season finale everyone was waiting for the ferry to the Underworld to come and take them away. A little nod to what's in store from our Herculean friends.

In an attempt to foil Killian's plans, Emma was going to use Excalibur to trap all of the darkness in herself and kill herself, but after a shocking turn of events, and five second character changer, Killian decided to trap the darkness in his body and have Emma kill him. That's right, Hook is dead.

But that's not it. Rumple tricked everyone because he knew what Hook would do, and used him as a conduit to channel the darkness into himself through Hook's death, making himself the Dark One once again, but this time even more powerful.

The finale ended with Emma and company loading up the ferry to the Underworld to go and rescue Hook from hell.

One can only imagine where this is going, and I'm going to be very stressed out about it in the months coming until the show airs again in March.

I'm sure all us fans agree by the way it treats us, that "Once Upon a Time" can go to h*ll…and they are.

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.
