In a post originally created on imgur, highlights some of the major plot differences between the book series, "A Song of Ice and Fire," and it's television adaptation, "Game of Thrones." If like me, you too became a fan of the television show and are yet to read the book series, you may be unaware of these differences. Here are few of the differences mentions.

1. The Loras/Renly Storyline

In the television series, the relationship between Loras and Renly was portrayed as a hot forbidden fling which assisted their assassination whereas in the books, their relationship has depth and actually builds up to a meaningful yet painful end.

2. Jeyne Westerling/Talisa Stark

Were you confused by how easily Robb seemed to be swoon into making a decision that affected his entire family and ultimately led to his death? Then read the book!

3. Stannis Baratheon

Stannis is not really the kind of father who sets fire to his own daughter for the sake of power.

4. Bloodraven

5. The Sand Sisters

In the books, you might actually like the sand sisters!

6. Ellaria Sand

Ellaria is not driven by vengeance.

7. Tryion Lannister

Tyrion is more than just sarcasm and wine.

8. Jamie Lannister

Jamie is actually a respected leader, not just a catalyst for other characters' story lines!

9. Jon Snow

You can read this detailed piece here. But in a nutshell, Jon's death was not a random stab in the back.

10. Sansa Stark

Sansa is actually a political warrior in the making.

Whether it is because the show just ended and you're craving more "Game of Thrones," or because you want to discover the different plot lines from the books, it's probably time for you to start reading "A Song of Ice and Fire."

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
