A Letter to the Lannister Family

Or really me complaining about my new favorite show.

A Letter to the Lannister Family
Screenrant

I have always been the one late to the party with television shows, but I always seem to miss the biggest spoilers and never get told how it ends. This time after months of my friend Doug telling me about Game of Thrones, and hearing my grandparents enjoying it, I HAD to start it! I'm only on season two episode seven, but I am hooked, I even bought the books. But something about the Lannister family struck me as off, even hateful? I decided since I can't send parchment and a raven to the family, I'll just complain about them on the internet, that's what real people do right?

To the family who rules the Westerlands, thank you for showing me what true dislike really is. Times are different, but betrayal never changes. Starting from the great Queen Cersei herself having relations with her twin brother and strengthening her dislike toward (now deceased) husband King Robert Baratheon. Ending with none other than Joffrey, the arrogant little boy who is the one person that shouldn't have power becoming king. I'm not sure why I have so much dislike for a powerful family who obviously knows to right their wrongs and stay knowledgeable (except Joffrey). Your saying being, "hear me roar," but aside from Tyrion I only hear you whimper. Cersei you being so full of pride to allow Joffrey to take the iron throne and start the war of lifetime. Assassinating Eddard Stark when his life was more than the Lannisters combined.

To the family who's sigil is that of a mighty lion being ironic because the family is a bunch of cowards. So caught up in the downfall of the Targaryen's many years ago, that you are too blind to see how many houses wish to see your own downfall. But with all of the bad your family has caused, a good has come from it. Tyrion Lannister, the wicked mind with the drunk body full of knowledge. The one who wasn't in this for a war, but to survive and keep friends as friends not enemies. The family of poison apples, using the one bullied being the candy apple. I might not like this family, but I await the episode they fall and their kingdom is destroyed.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
