3 Lessons We Re-learned This Week from Game of Thrones

"Game of Thrones"' season six episode eight, "No One," not only had to do with finding one's identity (something everyone can connect with), but with many other themes and lessons we can relate to in our own lives (albeit not as extreme in circumstance like the show). Here are the three lessons we relearned last week from "Game of Thrones."

(SPOILERS...duh)


1.) Friendship is the key.


Even though Arya and Lady Crane have interacted only a handful of times, their connection to each other is strong (saving each other's lives tends to have that effect). Here we are reminded of how true friends can do favors for each other without thinking twice about potential repercussions.

RIP Lady Crane, a true homie.


Speaking of true homies, Jaime and Brienne's friendship has blossomed quite unconventionally. Although Jaime appeared at first as if he was going to alert the guards in Riverrun about Brienne and Pod escaping, he decided against it. Another example of how important friendship can be when times are tough.

2.) People are gray, not black and white

.


We know Jaime has done some terrible things in the name of his love for Cersei, but if you take away the gross incestouous part of their relationship, what he is fighting for can relate to many people. Wouldn't you do anything to get back to the one you loved? Jaime's story arc is particularly interesting as it highlights his rollercoaster of a journey so far. We start from hating him, to rooting for him, to hating him again; and now, we're not so sure anymore.

3.) All work? More play!


In the midst of stressing over politics in Meereen, Tyrion helps Missandei and Grey Worm let loose for once. The main takeaway here is that if you are under a lot of stress, it is important to let off some steam whichever way you can. Watch something funny or crack a joke like Meereen's new three musketeers did!

All in all, while what we watch on the big or small screen may be fictional, the themes and ideas featured here draw from the realities of our world, and it's definitely something worth paying attention to in whichever TV show or film you watch next.

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.
