"Game of Thrones" season 6 is finally here! I’ve already stocked up on my box of tissues after the shocking finale of season 5. This television series adaptation of George R. R. Martin's “A Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novel series has been nothing short of amazing. Interwoven in the plot lines is the civil war among noble houses for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms. This series has explored various themes since its inception, including finding its play on language, with the creation of the Dothraki and Valyrian vocabulary. The Los Angeles Times has described this show as “Breathtaking, heartbreaking, awe-inspiring and addictive,” going on to say that “it remains the single most remarkable feat of television, possibly ever, increasingly admirable for its ability to grow rather than simply sustain."

Since its premiere in 2011, "Game of Thrones" has provoked strong reactions from fans with various episodes. I for one have been left open-mouthed, in tears, in utter disbelief, and completely in shock at some of their OMG moments. This fantasy drama has played with my emotions for the past 5 seasons, and with the premiere of season 6 this past Sunday, I had to go back and relive some of the crazy, OMG moments of seasons 1 through 5.

Season 1 Finale, "Fire and Blood"

Daenerys Targaryen walks through fire.


We can all agree by now that Daenerys Targaryen is a bit of a badass, but you have to admit that when she walked into the flames of her dead husband's funeral pyre holding onto the dragon eggs, it was an epic moment. Not only did my mouth drop when she walked into the flames, but when she walks out unscathed, as the "Mother of Dragons," it's definitely a scene to remember.

Season 2 Episode 10, "Valar Morghulis"

An army of White Walkers surrounds the Fist of the First Men.


The White Walkers surrounding the Fist of the First Men. The movement of these figures numbering several hundred through the snow was a sight to remember. Not only did this scene pronounce trouble, but it opened up a whole different plot scene to look forward to.

Season 3 Episode 9, "The Rains of Castamere"

The death of Robb Stark.


This was the episode that had me grabbing for my tissues. In the moment when Catelyn realizes that they've been betrayed and tries to warn Robb, we already knew it was game over. Robb is shot by crossbows, and the massacre of his banner-men begins. Robb is stabbed in the heart and Catelyn's throat is cut. This episode proved to be shocking and emotional for fans.

Season 4 Finale, "The Children"

Tyrion kills Tywin.


We all witnessed the abuse Tyrion had to put up with from his father, Tywin. Tyrion finally had enough after finding the woman he loved, Shae, in his father's bed. Why was Tyrion killing Tywin an OMG moment? Well, we simply didn't think he had the courage to do it, and killing him while he was sitting on the toilet was an added shock bonus.

Season 5 Finale, "Mother's Mercy"

Jon Snow "dies."

The shocker of all shockers. Nothing has ever made me yell "NO!" at my television, except for this scene. This finale was definitely gut-wrenching, leaving fans stunned, and with a whole lot of questions.The reactions from fans alone makes this the ultimate OMG moment of "Game of Thrones."

Season 6 has just begun, and all I can say is "Winter is coming."

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
