13 Lessons That Game of Thrones Has Taught Us

Even if you don't watch the highly-rated and addicting show Game of Thrones, you've more than likely heard of it at some point or another. And, for us fans, we all know that we hate to love it, and love to hate it, because it has taught us a few things about life. WARNING: potential spoilers ahead!

1. Don't trust anyone.

In-laws, old friends, relatives, kings and queens - don't trust a single one!

2. Once you start playing the power game, you can't just stop.

What was that again? In the game of thrones, you either win, or die. (That's some intense friendly competition there.)

3. There will always be that person.

Spawn of the devil, spoiled brat, power-hungry monster - you take your pick.

4. ...and that person.

You know them: that friend who always seems to know everything about everyone, and never misses a chance to flaunt it.

5. ...and at least one of these people.

Wine, rum, whiskey, vodka...it really doesn't matter to them.

6. Family is important.

Heartfelt reunions are even sweeter when half of your family is dead. (Sorry, I had to do it.)

7. ...most of the time.

Tyrion Lannister: teaching important life lessons with a slap of his hand since Joffrey Baratheon's birth.

8. Always dress for the occasion.

There's nothing like a shiny set of new armor to brighten up the room!

9. Remember those old feuds? Yeah, they might actually follow you for a while.

Too bad he couldn't follow through on that revenge, though.

10. Pets can be the best friends you'll ever have.

They make great guard dogs, too.

11. Sometimes your in-laws will hate you. A lot.

At least your in-laws can't have you killed and get away with it. (Or can they?)

12. Dragons trump everything. Accept that, and you'll live a happier life.

Are you going to argue with a dragon?

13. God, guns, diseases and old age don't kill people. George R.R. Martin kills people.

Oh, you like that character? Too bad. They're dead now.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
