Game of Thrones: Season 7 and 8 Predictions

As my winter break ends, so does my time watching the greatest television show known to man: Game of Thrones. Seasons 1-3 were good. But then I got to seasons 4-6 and I was completely blown away. I have never felt more attached to characters/storylines in a TV show before. Season six left me pumped for season seven with many thoughts on the future of the show.

First let’s recap what’s going on:

Jon Snow is king of the north and Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen’s son. This makes him Daenerys Targaryen's nephew, and heir to the iron throne.

Sansa is finally stepping up and helping Jon rule. However, she better get rid of Littlefinger before it’s too late.

Arya is back in Westeros and has killed Walder Frey.

Cersei literally set King’s Landing on fire and killed everyone and is now Queen? Good job, Cersei, you finally got what you wanted by killing literally everyone and everything.

Jamie has returned to Cersei and will presumably help her rule.

Meanwhile sailing on the sea, Daenerys along with her squad; Tyrion, Varys, the sand snakes, the Dothraki, the Unsullied, the Greyjoys and a bunch of other loyals are making their way somewhere, most likely Westeros. But there’s definitely going to be a few stops on the way.

Bran is the three-eyed raven who is going to help everyone figure out their destinies and probably warn everyone about the real war…the Army of the Dead.

Season 7… you have a lot of work to do.

Prediction 1:

Someone—whether it be Jon or Dany, or both—is going to quickly dispose of Cersei and Jamie.

Jamie and Cersei will surely put up a fight, but there are so many other things to worry about. This is going to be a quick deed, especially considering that they basically have no allies anymore besides each other and The Mountain?

Prediction 2:

Dany is going to be queen of Westeros and probably rule but I honestly feel as if she is going to die soon after taking the throne…Then Jon will be king.

Here is why I think this:

She has said on multiple occasions that she will never bear another child. (OK dumb idea girl because who will be your heir????). That leaves Jon. He is the last Targaryen and Dany’s nephew. He is also the son of Rhaegar, who was heir to the throne.

ALSO in the Hall of Mirrors, we see Dany walking through the throne room while it snows; i.e. winter is coming, AKA Jon Snow is the king.

If you think back to season 1, Jon and Tyrion had a very pleasant interaction at Winterfell and Castle Black. This was not by coincidence. If Tyrion truly is the end game player like everyone is saying he is, he will be there when Jon takes the throne and attest to his kingship.

Also, a detail that shouldn’t be overlooked; Samwell has begun his journey to be a Grand Maestor. Sam is Jon’s absolute best friend. It only makes perfect sense that Sam’s journey is going to intertwine with Jon’s and he will eventually serve him as Grand Maestor to the King.

This leads to prediction 3:

Jon will marry Lyanna Mormont. Ok don’t judge me for thinking this. But I have a few theories.

First, Dany will probably have to approve of who Jon marries if he is to be the heir. The Mormonts are close to Jon and Dany. (Jorah and the Lord Commander). This is also not a coincidence. They then brought in little Lyanna (Who is named for the great beauty/warrior/Jon’s mother) for a reason. It truly seems perfect. Look at Jon’s sword. He literally carries a Mormont bear sword (everything on this show symbolizes something). Plus, Lyanna is a spitfire and loyal to Jon. While we know Jon will truly never love anyone again (RIP Ygritte), we can be sure that the union between Lyanna and Jon will be a good one. Both are strong leaders. And the heir to the Iron Throne would have Stark, Mormont, and Targaryen blood. That’s like the perfect recipe for a leader.

Prediction 4:

The old guy who was the previous Raven was old Bran. Bran is not going to be a permanent player in Westeros. He will probably stay very far north with Benjen protecting him.

Prediction 5:

Gendry is going to come back and play some role in Arya’s life. I am sure Gendry will come back because Davos keeps holding onto the buck figurine, and obviously, that’s a symbol. They will probably get married and help Jon while he rules… hopefully. Gendry seemed like a good guy last time we saw him.

Prediction 6:

This leaves Sansa. I predict she dies. Sorry. But honestly, all the dire wolves foreshadow their owners.

Ghost: alive and well and kicking ass—like Jon

Grey Wind: slaughtered with Robb

Shaggy Dog: killed with Rickon

Nymeria: not dead—simply ran away. she will return I’m sure of it. Just like Arya.

Summer: died protecting Bran. I mean Bran is like kinda dead anyway because he is the three-eyed raven and that’s a life sentence. Also, Summer died when The Raven died which supports my theory that Bran was the old Raven.

That leaves Lady. Lady was killed at the hands of Ned. She was an elegant creature, like Sansa. I predict Sansa does something bad (probably involving Little Finger) and that leaves Jon no choice but to get rid of her.

Prediction 7:

Because Sansa is going to die, Arya is going to rule the North while Jon rules over everyone. As much as I have grown to like Sansa within the last season, I just don’t see her being an endgame player. Arya has remained mentally strong and persevered through so much. She is fit to rule the north with Gendry by her side.

Either way, let’s hope The Hound kills The Mountain and then finds Arya. I’m rooting for him.

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.

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

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.
