In a post originally created on imgur, highlights some of the major plot differences between the book series, "A Song of Ice and Fire," and it's television adaptation, "Game of Thrones." If like me, you too became a fan of the television show and are yet to read the book series, you may be unaware of these differences. Here are few of the differences mentions.

1. The Loras/Renly Storyline

In the television series, the relationship between Loras and Renly was portrayed as a hot forbidden fling which assisted their assassination whereas in the books, their relationship has depth and actually builds up to a meaningful yet painful end.

2. Jeyne Westerling/Talisa Stark

Were you confused by how easily Robb seemed to be swoon into making a decision that affected his entire family and ultimately led to his death? Then read the book!

3. Stannis Baratheon

Stannis is not really the kind of father who sets fire to his own daughter for the sake of power.

4. Bloodraven

5. The Sand Sisters

In the books, you might actually like the sand sisters!

6. Ellaria Sand

Ellaria is not driven by vengeance.

7. Tryion Lannister

Tyrion is more than just sarcasm and wine.

8. Jamie Lannister

Jamie is actually a respected leader, not just a catalyst for other characters' story lines!

9. Jon Snow

You can read this detailed piece here. But in a nutshell, Jon's death was not a random stab in the back.

10. Sansa Stark

Sansa is actually a political warrior in the making.

Whether it is because the show just ended and you're craving more "Game of Thrones," or because you want to discover the different plot lines from the books, it's probably time for you to start reading "A Song of Ice and Fire."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
