9 Reasons You Should Binge 'Game of Thrones' Now

HBO

1. It's easier than reading the books

Ain't nobody got time for that!

Giphy

"Game of Thrones" is based on a series of books by George R.R. Martin, that a verrryyyyyy long. I'm sure you can get much more content from the books, but nobody has time for that. Sorry George. If you do choose to read the books, don't be that "it was better in the books" bitch. No one likes her.

2. THAT WRITING THO!

NED DESERVED BETTER!

Giphy

Whew chile, that writing! "Game of Thrones" has amazing writing. You'll laugh, you'll cry (a lot), you'll want to burn your TV in the fire (a lot). The point is you're watching a show about a fantasy land with fantasy people that will NEVER exist, but you still feel a connection to them and their stories. Warning: don't get too attached to ANYONE! Don't say I never warned you.

3. Badass Women!

Not a queen, a Khalessi. PERIODT!

Giphy

This show has no shortage of beautiful,badass women, which is amazing. Especially considering this show is set in a time in which women had no rights what so ever. Who run Westeros? GIRLS!

4. MEN! (heart eyes)

Jaime Lannister with his blue eyes he makes me go like this, *aggressively bats eyelashes*

Giphy

Ok, so this show just has great characters overall (again it's that writing!). However, it would be a crime for me not to mention how GORGEOUS the men on this show are. Let's be honest though, 95% of Westeros is just beautiful people.

5. You'll never be bored

YOU GET EM' BABE!

Giphy

There really isn't ever a boring episode of "Game of Thrones". The moment you think things are calming down someone gets slaughtered or betrayed and you're SHOOK all over again. Seriously, don't blink or you'll miss something, pin you eyes open if you have to.

6. Dragons!!!

*aggressively screeches*

Giphy

That's it. Dragons. I think that's all I have to say.

7. The Lannisters will send their regards if you don't watch it.

*cries* THE NORTH REMEMBERS!

Giphy

If you want to understand that reference, watch "Game of Thrones"!

8. You have less than a month left before the last season

aggressive binging is coming...

Giphy

I know you can binge all 7 seasons in less than a month! I did 6 seasons in two weeks. I believe in you!

9. And did I mention...DRAGONS

*more aggressive screeching*

Giphy

Burn them all!!!!! (You'll understand that reference later too)

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
