Anybody and everybody who's been to college will tell you it isn't a walk in the park. In fact, truer words have never been spoken. Some people are lucky enough to make it out alive in four years, just like Theon was lucky to survive Ramsay's sadistic torture. Come to think of it, the entire cast of Game of Thrones could make it through college without a doubt; Cersei would kill all of her professors before blowing up the school, John Snow would be the frat boy every girl wants. Tyrion would be the super duper senior that barely makes it out alive.
What better group of characters to tell us about the college life than the all-knowing cast of Game of Thrones? They've survived white walkers, betrayal, trial by combat, heartbreak, brutality, loss, and basically everything. When you think about it, college life isn't much different, especially once you've made it to your victory lap. Take it from the pros.
1. Your reaction when your fifth and sixth syllabus days roll around as your professors make their class seem like your worst nightmare.
Professor- "You will give a presentation at the end of the semester on your research. By your self."
You - "Pssshh, I got this, can't nobody touch me!"
2. Randomly remembering what your major originally was before you changed it five times. Then reminiscing about all the other bad choices you've made since then, deciding you could publish a book of life advice. So, you change your major again and finish the book before you graduate.
3. You overhear a freshman’s conversation about frat parties, and give them your wise advice from all those years ago when you first encountered the row, complete with your best hangover remedies. Then, a younger classmate has a question about an assignment or a tough professor you’ve already had and you expertly lay out how to get an A. Classmate looks at you and asks, “How do you know all that?” Your answer:
4. When you ask yourself what you're doing with your life as you're working on yet another twenty page research paper and your answer leads you back to that same thought five minutes later.
Right there with ya, Rob.
5. Waking up every Monday morning or afternoon for class, hating everything and coming to terms with the fact that Monday's just suck. Is there a way to just make them not exist?
That's the perfect Monday face right there.
6. The face you make when a freshman starts an argument with you about how easy it is to make it out in four years, people just party too much, and that college is the greatest thing on earth.
Oh, how little those freshmen know. They're so cute and innocent before...you know...everything.
8. Five years later, people still can't figure out how to not walk slow on the sidewalk.
9. How you feel when you're reminiscing with students that weren't there when the football team made their epic comeback, don't remember the days when you could actually find a parking place and be to class in ten minutes, or when they don't remember the great flamingo fiasco of 2014.
10. During the holidays when you're home and a family member asks you what you plan to do when you graduate AKA your least favorite question.
11. When a professor knows you've had several times asks a question and calls on you in class even though you've been avoiding eye contact with him like a pro.
12. Your reaction when your aunt is bragging on your cousin for graduating a semester early at Christmas and you're in the corner, trying to make yourself feel like less of a failure.
13. How you feel when a freshmen guy in your class tries to flirt with you after staring at you like a creeper for a solid three weeks. Fingers crossed he doesn't attempt to ask for your number or ask you out or whatever it is kids these days do.
14. When you think about graduation and how it seems like it's never going to come even though everyone says it will.
