If you're anything like me, then you probably get way too attached to characters on TV shows. I swear I cry more about fictional characters than I do my own life.

Obviously, there will be spoilers in this post... but all these deaths happened over a year ago, so no worries about spoiling last week's episode of any show.

1. Lexie Grey on "Grey's Anatomy"

Lexie is my all-time favorite Grey's character, and I was completely heartbroken when she died. I was a sobbing mess, but stayed strong and carried on to the next episode until...

2. Mark Sloan from "Grey's Anatomy"

I literally had to take a break from the show after watching my favorite couple die in back to back episodes. It was traumatizing

3. Robb Stark on "Game of Thrones"

The Red Wedding is a household, iconic name for a reason.

If we were ranking which deaths I'm still not over the most... Robb Stark, King of the North would undoubtably get #1. I still get teary-eyed over this. House Stark in general makes me want to go sob in a corner.

4. Allison Argent on "Teen Wolf"

I actually wasn't nearly as affected by this as other people, but I know enough people that were so broken up over this that it deserves a spot on this list.

I think any time you kill one of the OG main characters in a teen drama, people have a very hard time moving on from it.

5. Charlie on "LOST"

NOT PENNY'S BOAT!!!

Another scene that had me uncontrollably sobbing far into the credits. It's so heartbreaking and beautifully written. It's also one of the first really huge deaths in the show. There were some other "main" POV characters that died, but no one quite as big as Charlie.

6. Sybil on "Downton Abbey"

A lot of Downton fans might argue that Matthew was a worse death, but his death didn't affect me like Sybil's. I think the difference is that we SEE Sybil die on screen. We watch the family's reactions, and the way she dies is really intense. It's Tom and Cora's pleas for her to wake up that make it so much worse.

7. Wes on "How To Get Away With Murder"

I always said that I would never quit a show just because they killed off a character I love... but I did with this one. Wes was one of the only reasons I even watched. It seemed so unbelievably crazy that they would actually kill off one of the main kids, and it was enough to drive me away from the show altogether.

8. Bob on "Stranger Things"

Barb who? The real tragic death of this show is Superhero, Bob Newby.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
