10 Things Only "Game of Thrones" Fans Understand
The Portly Gazelle

"Game of Thrones" isn't just a TV show, it's a full time commitment. The most important time of the week is Sunday nights at 9 P.M., and when it's on nothing else matters. People who don't watch always ask why we're so obsessed and, the truth is, we could go on for hours. It's always hard to talk to others about the show unless they watch it anyway, because there are some things non-GOT fans just don't understand.

1. First of all, Jon Snow in all his glory.

Jon is the most beloved character on the show, and no matter what he does we're all OK with it because he's Jon Snow and can do no wrong. Also, he may or may not be the most beautiful character on the show. I mean, look at that hair and those deep, dark eyes that can stare directly into your soul.

2. Your need for a direwolf.

Who needs a dog when you can have something twice as big, twice as loyal and twice as protective? They're real, by the way.

3. The emotions from the Red Wedding.

The Red Wedding is like a car crash; you don't want to look, but you just can't help yourself. The first time you watched it, you were in complete shock. Of course, you didn't just watch it once, but the sting got worse every time. It's something we all know, but refuse to speak about.

4. The Purple Wedding.


On the other hand, the Purple Wedding was one of the best moments in GOT history. All I have say is see ya never, Joffrey, you got what you deserved.

5. You kind of feel bad for Jorah... sort of.

Jorah really isn't that terrible of a person, but his life just continuously gets worse as the show progresses. Nothing ever works out in his favor. You can't help but feel just a little bit sad for him.

6. Nines.

You have to mentally prepare yourself for the ninth episode of each season, not the finale. They're always the most insane.

7. No matter how hard you try, you just can't remember everyone's names.

So many people are in and out of the show so quickly that it's hard to remember that obscure steward's name when he reappears 15 episodes later.

8. You can't be interrupted during new episodes.

If you turn away for even a split second, you could miss something extremely important. The best place to watch GOT is locked in a room by yourself. Maybe you'll let someone sit with you if you know they won't speak or are obsessed like you.

9. How Tyrion is low-key the best character.

Though he's not the best physically, he is as smart as a whip, which is what has kept him alive so long. He's also the funniest, and his sarcasm is hard to beat. Tyrion Lannister is the true definition of an underdog.

10. Olly.

WE THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST AN INNOCENT KID AND YOU BROKE OUR HEARTS. TWICE.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
