Game Of Thrones

1. She is strong.

From remaining graceful when she is not in a position of power, to not letting the constant sexist remarks made by many men in the series get to her, Dany is strong, both internally and externally. She also is the epitome of a woman who does not need a man.

2. She is beautiful.

Her beautiful complexion of white-blonde hair and bright blue eyes make her hard to miss when she walks anywhere

3. She surrounds herself with good people (for the most part).

Besides the fact that she had to exile Ser Jorah twice from her city (and he faithfully kept coming back) Dany wastes no time picking who is close in her inner circle. My personal favorite is Grey Worm.

4. Her maternal tendencies.

Although she is barely a young adult, Dany has warmed many hearts with her compassion towards her children (dragons) and cares for them wholeheartedly, as they do the same for their mother. (Even if it involves breathing fire at hundreds of people at once).

5. She's the breaker of chains.

The mere fact that Dany hates the idea of slavery in these cities is enough for most people, but when she constantly goes out of her way to literally take off slaves' chains, she has earned not just her title of Queen, but everyone's respect (including mine).

6. She literally lit the Khal and all of his men on fire.

Probably being one of the best scenes in season six, Dany has no time for men and their BS. The fact that she lit all of these high-ranking officials on fire and walked out naked was incredible. I loved that the Dothraki all knelt to her as well.

7. She's merciful.

We all know Daenerys hates the idea of killing men and women. She would rather have people work off their debts than just have their throats cut. One big example of her mercy is when she only exiled Ser Jorah instead of killing him for betraying her.

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?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
