"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."

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
