8 Character Deaths We're Still Not Over

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.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
