GoT Fever?

Game of Thrones- A series, Addiction or a Mind-Eating Virus?

GoT Fever?

So the sixth season of the world’s greatest show just came to an end, and if you’re a fanatic like me or any of the approximate 8 million viewers who watched the finale the day it was released, you’d know I’m talking about Game of Thrones. Legendary, iconic, symbolic? Words would fall short if I were to describe how this show has been reigning the world of Television for the past few years. Not to forget how it’s also reigning over the hearts of millions of people across the globe.

Fans wait for a new season of Game of thrones like how kids wait for Christmas season for their presents. Each episode is like a gift , or should I say a blessing, itself for the fans. So is George R . R Martin really Santa? Who knows, he even looks like one too. With half the cast already dead within the first few seasons, the gifts feel like momentary happiness. Moments that slowly pile up and turn into something massive at the end of each season.

Anyway, as the show marks the end of its sixth glorious season, fans are going absolutely crazy as to figure out how to spend the next 1 year waiting for the arrival of the next season. With the incest queen Cersei taking over the Seven Kingdoms, followed by the death of her only remaining child and Jon Snow finally becoming the King of the North, along with some evidence that he is a potential Targaryen heir(that makes him related to ever-so-magnificent Khaleesi), fans are bursting with emotions , and of course, theories. The end of every season leaves us confused, dazed and obsessed. In the beginning, the unexpected death of a very loved character would break the heart. But now as every season, the pain lessens and does not even surprise anymore. Oh he died? Cool, moving on to next episode. So I guess it actually helps us get stronger and be more accepting of difficult situations. It does leave us really upset too. When your favorite show in the world finishes , you somehow feel like you’ve been abandoned alone. Some people find solace in new tv shows and make it their favorite. But for us GOT fans, that is sheer betrayal. We are way too loyal to our show to make any other our favorite. Sure , we can or do invest our time in watching other shows and show interest but never can we can we give the same spot in our hearts that GOT holds. I sound like I have a relationship with the show that takes an annual break with me after all the fun is over and then gets back with me with more excitement. And I actually like the break, it gives me something to look forward to. And I’m sure, so do you. So, here’s to finding positivity in enduring patience for the next season! April 2017 awaits!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
