Season 8 of Game of Thrones has been one of the worst seasons ever. Many fans have been disappointed with the way the season has been going and with the way episode 5 went I can confirm that the writers and creators of Game Of Thrones do not care about giving us the ending we deserve anymore. They have constantly made decisions this season that don't back up the character arcs of well-loved characters and have given some of these beloved characters shitty endings.

For example, Cersei and Jamie die in each other's arms as the Red Keep falls down around them. For Cersei, this is not the ending we as fans expected nor is it the ending she deserved. It's poetic that they die in the arms of the one person they love the most, but for Jamie, this goes against everything his character has done this season. He disobeys her and runs to help fight the Knight King and his undead army, but after they are defeated runs right back to her? Right after she had literally just sent Bron to assassinate him for going against her??? Confused? Me too.

Cersei on the other hand, although it's poetic that she dies in the arms of the one she loves, it doesn't fulfill the prophecy of her death that we learned back in one of the past seasons. According to that prophecy, Jamie was going to be the one to kill Cersei not die with her. Cersei deserved to be burned alive by Drogon or have her head chopped off the may she had Missandi's cut off. Dying by having a building fall on her is a shitty way to end a character who was extremely vile and wicked.

Now let's talk about that Mad Queen spin they put on Dany at the last minute. Now I am fully aware that there have been subtle hints towards her "madness" throughout the series, but killing vile villains is vastly different than burning a city to the ground that you want to rule. In the past, Dany has chained up her dragons for killing innocents. Now even though the city surrenders in fear, she kills thousands of innocent women and children just for vengeance of the people who have died in the past.

We saw at the beginning of the 5th episode Drogon burning all the fleets and the armies, and we rooted for Dany as this was exactly what should have happened the last episode with Rhaegal and Drogon both burning their enemies down. She was reminded so many times of the Iron Fleet and the Golden Company and the writers justified Rhaegal's death by saying Dany just "forgot they were there." Rhaegal deserved better!!!

In conclusion, the writers literally know nothing, Rhaegal deserved better, Dany's madness deserved to be better thought out and spread out, Cersei deserved a better death, and Jon Snow aka Aegon Targaryen is going to probably end up on the throne whether he likes it or not.

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.

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.
