10 Things Only "Game of Thrones" Fans Understand
The Portly Gazelle

"Game of Thrones" isn't just a TV show, it's a full time commitment. The most important time of the week is Sunday nights at 9 P.M., and when it's on nothing else matters. People who don't watch always ask why we're so obsessed and, the truth is, we could go on for hours. It's always hard to talk to others about the show unless they watch it anyway, because there are some things non-GOT fans just don't understand.

1. First of all, Jon Snow in all his glory.

Jon is the most beloved character on the show, and no matter what he does we're all OK with it because he's Jon Snow and can do no wrong. Also, he may or may not be the most beautiful character on the show. I mean, look at that hair and those deep, dark eyes that can stare directly into your soul.

2. Your need for a direwolf.

Who needs a dog when you can have something twice as big, twice as loyal and twice as protective? They're real, by the way.

3. The emotions from the Red Wedding.

The Red Wedding is like a car crash; you don't want to look, but you just can't help yourself. The first time you watched it, you were in complete shock. Of course, you didn't just watch it once, but the sting got worse every time. It's something we all know, but refuse to speak about.

4. The Purple Wedding.


On the other hand, the Purple Wedding was one of the best moments in GOT history. All I have say is see ya never, Joffrey, you got what you deserved.

5. You kind of feel bad for Jorah... sort of.

Jorah really isn't that terrible of a person, but his life just continuously gets worse as the show progresses. Nothing ever works out in his favor. You can't help but feel just a little bit sad for him.

6. Nines.

You have to mentally prepare yourself for the ninth episode of each season, not the finale. They're always the most insane.

7. No matter how hard you try, you just can't remember everyone's names.

So many people are in and out of the show so quickly that it's hard to remember that obscure steward's name when he reappears 15 episodes later.

8. You can't be interrupted during new episodes.

If you turn away for even a split second, you could miss something extremely important. The best place to watch GOT is locked in a room by yourself. Maybe you'll let someone sit with you if you know they won't speak or are obsessed like you.

9. How Tyrion is low-key the best character.

Though he's not the best physically, he is as smart as a whip, which is what has kept him alive so long. He's also the funniest, and his sarcasm is hard to beat. Tyrion Lannister is the true definition of an underdog.

10. Olly.

WE THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST AN INNOCENT KID AND YOU BROKE OUR HEARTS. TWICE.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
