8 Reasons to Jump on the Game of Thrones Bandwagon

All Men Must Die

At first, I doubted the hype about HBO's hit show Game of Thrones. After all, being fantasy nerd trash, I had already read the book series and was therefore skeptical that the show remake could ever live up to the original genius. However, two years ago, I decided to jump on the bandwagon. From the first scene of the first episode, I was hooked. Why should you watch Game of Thrones, you might ask?For those who aren't fantasy geeks, I give you eight reasons why GoT should be your next guilty binge.

1. The Plot Twists

Sure, brag about your favorite show's plot twists all you want. However, GoT blows them all out of the water and proves that there is no such thing as too shocking.

2. The Characters

Every single one of the characters is portrayed with exceptional acting ability and written with depth and complexity. You learn to love them all (yes, even the unholy trinity of Joffrey Baratheon, Walder Frey, and Ramsay Bolton).

3. The Diversity

One of the aspects of the characters that makes them so likable is the diversity throughout the cast. We have people of all genders, sexualities, races, and appearances portrayed as both heroes and villains.

4. Tyrion's One Liners

If you've seen any trailers for this show, Peter Dinklage's portrayal of Tyrion Lannister is most likely included. Although he lacks stature, he is not short on sass nor sarcasm.

5. Some Pretty Epic Deaths

GoT might not be the choice for you if you tend to get squeamish. However, for those of you who can handle a little blood and guts, there are some pretty memorable deaths that make the show that much more shockingly entertaining (for those of you who've seen it, two words: Oberyn Martell).

6. Daenerys Targaryen

Just look at that face. Who wouldn't want to watch someone this beautiful ride around on dragons and kick major butt?

7. The Artistic Value

The very first episode gives viewers a taste of the beauty the show is known for. From a hauntingly epic score to spectacular cinematography, GoT does not skimp on the production value.

8. You'll Stop Getting Annoyed by Articles Like This

Still not convinced? Then at least try the show in an attempt to appease all your gung ho friends who constantly say things like "You know nothing, Jon Snow" that just make no sense to you. Trust me, you'll thank us later (or not, seeing as how everyone who watches this show is constantly in tears). In fact, don't watch GoT unless you're prepared to take on a life-ruining obsession.

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.

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.

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.
