Top 5 Most Hated "Game Of Thrones" Characters
Watchers on the Wall

Now, since a couple weeks back, I did an article on my top five favorite characters from "Game of Thrones," I figured it would only be fitting to do one this week on the ones I hate the most, or at least, those that are still alive. Which is nearly all of them, as nearly all my favorites are dead. Something smells fishier than Tywin Lannister on his death bed... (You can hate me for that later).

All of these, for one reason or another, have earned their place on this list as some of the most vile and despicable nobility in all of Westeros. And to start off, here is one of whom I have a particular place saved for...

#5 - Catelyn Tully

I said Tully specifically, because even Catelyn herself says she's more of a Tully and she often refers to herself as such throughout the series. Catelyn, even from the start of the show, has all the naivete characteristic of her family, but without any of the honor. She is frequently trying to do what's best for her family, but in doing so often manages to screw up without even realizing it, and only makes things worse. In addition to that, her whole hatred of Jon Snow is downright irredeemable, as is the way she constantly tries to force Arya out of what she wants.

#4 - Joffrey Baratheon

The most typical choice, but no less important for that. Joffrey Baratheon, the supposed son of Robert Baratheon and Cersei Lannister, has proved to have one of the shortest and most terrible reigns of all his time, going through one wife and one betrothal, the beheading of a great lord, and then the torturing of that lord's daughter, while his uncle attempted to rule and keep the realm. He also proved to be a disreputable coward, which only made him further despicable.

#3-Cersei Lannister

And right after our dear, sweet Joffrey comes his mother, Queen Regent Cersei of House Lannister. Just imagine Donald Trump, except with... yeah, you get the picture. But seriously, though, Cersei Lannister proves herself not only to be a despicable woman, she is also bitter, spiteful, envious, and paranoid; combines all of this with a lack of political acumen and an affinity to piss off nearly everyone she comes into contact with, and you are presented with one of the worst rulers Westeros has ever seen. She frequently commits crime of increasing moral depravity, and conspires to only commit more crimes, all the while acting out of some Freudian disorder.

#2-Petyr Baelish

Ah, our lovely Lord Littlefinger. A truly corrupt man who has raised himself mainly on the backs of brothels, coin, and greed, you will never meet a more vile man. He is a man who only works for himself, none other. While the other entries on this list have often swung the swords, it has been Petyr setting it in motion - he has inflamed the feud between the Starks and Lannisters, brought on the War of the Five Kings, and murdered Lord Eddard Stark by betraying him, all the while accumulating power and promise through shadows and deceit.

#1-Daenerys Targaryen

Some of you will undoubtedly be angry at this place, but I feel that no one deserves it more than Daenerys Targaryen, Stormborn, Conqueror of Cities and Breaker of Chains; otherwise known by my own epithets, the Conqueror of Little and Breaker of Less. Daenerys blunders from one moment to the next, ruining her own plans and prophecies, attempting to free slaves only to put them into a worse place than they began. She sets aside her most powerful allies and manages to screw up so completely that it is a wonder she is still on the throne. As it is, she is now struggling to keep control of a city that hates her, forced to compromise on ideals she had previously espoused. And that's all without even stepping one foot in her own country.

So, that's the list. Some entries there were more difficult to write than others, but each of them deserved their place here. Thanks for reading, please leave a comment in the section or do a list of our own, and have a good day.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
