5 Things To Do While Waiting For "Game of Thrones"

I'm sad and that's all I know.

5 Things To Do While Waiting For "Game of Thrones"
HBO

As various names move across the T.V. screen, I am numb.

"Wow, that was amazing." my best friend smiles, laying back on her chestnut suede couch. She and her two sisters drift off into conversation about re-clarifying characters and plot lines. I do not join in.

I am numb and there is only one statement left in my mind. What do I do now?

"Game of Thrones" is one of the most praised and acclaimed novel and T.V. series of all time, garnering fans of all ages, genders, and states of minds. Including this one right here.

The season six finale, "Winds of Winter", broke the record for largest television audience with a staggering 8 million watchers. A well deserved win.

As fans wait with bated breath for season 7 to emerge, the question of "What to do in the mean time?" filters across.

Well have no fear, I have some ideas for all my watchers waiting in the limbo of no new episodes.

SPOILERS AHEAD! I CANNOT MAKE WITTY JOKES WITHOUT REVEALING SOME OF THE PLOT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

1. Re-watch all the past "Game of Thrones" seasons.

Now, I know that this may seem a huge leap. Some of you are thinking, "That's just crazy! How can I watch five seasons in a day?" Trust me. You can, believe and you will achieve. Just crack open a bottle of your finest Dornish Red wine and soon you'll be laughing mid-Joffrey choke in the Purple Wedding.

2. Read or Re-read all of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" Series.

...Now look. Each book may contain over some odd-1000 pages of point of view switching and tiny font, BUT! Martin's series did inspire the Emmy winning television show with all our favorite new actors! The books are a great read! And while no t.v. series is perfect, (Game of Thrones is so close though) sacrifices did have to be made in order to broadcast it on the silver screen. Characters we've never seen are including, some characters may be still alive, and some different plot lines are shown! (Sansa's plot line in the book is so much better.....compared to the show. Just why'd it have to be Ramsay?!?!)

3. Cry.

There's nothing much to it, actually. Season 7 is coming out later as well so, think about that too. Plus George needs it too.

4. Try and understand how Varys traveled so fast in the finale.

I mean seriously. What was that? Then it calls in to account...You know. Just try it. It will be January 2017 before you know it.

5. Wait it out.

All will be well and we shall soon see a brighter day.


...So yeah. Keep these thoughts in mind over the up and coming Fall and Winter seasons (WINTER IS HERE) and we will all power through it together. #AYearWithoutGOT

I love you, HBO.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
