College Summed Up By "Game of Thrones"

Game of Thrones may be a fictional story created from the mind of George R. R. Martin, but it somehow manages to sum up the typical college experience.

Every college is filled with cunning and quick witted Tyrion's, strong willed Daenerys's, and even honorable Jon Snow's. However, you should probably stay away from anyone with evil sadistic tendencies named Joffrey, bless Sansa for putting up with him for so long.

Let's just hope that no one's college experience turns into another red wedding.

Maybe one day we can all graduate to the Iron Throne of adulthood.

Here are some ways that Game of Thrones sums up college life:

When you try to meet everyone on your first day of college

You find that declaring yourself outright is how you can make a name for yourself.

When you forget the names of everyone you just met

No matter how many times you repeat them to yourself you will, undoubtedly, be vexed by the number of Madeline's you encounter.

When some people are too clingy for your tastes.

You'll have to channel your inner Cersei to get rid of unwanted advances.

When you find yourself coming to this realization:

Arya sees all.

When you're tempted to get a puppy you see on campus.

Their cuteness tries to win you over, but then you remember that you can barely take care of yourself.

When you finish a test and you think you aced it.

*drops the mic* yeah, I owned that.

When you get the grade back and it's much different than anticipated.

Don't worry, it's not all about the grades, right? Your GPA is really just a decoration.

When everyone boasts about their A's they just got, and you barely got by with a B.

Congrats, no one cares.

When you realize you live in a college town that has a downtown where you can drown out all your sorrows.

Remember that a Lannister always pays his debts.

When you wake up the next day after a night out:

Trying to retrace your steps from the night before often ends in failure. You'll most likely end up regretting every decision you made.

When the stress of college causes you to binge eat.

If only we could all look this good with fake blood on our face, *sigh*. Those late night cookout runs are sure to haunt you in the future.

When you encounter really annoying people.

We may all hate Cersei but her lack of sympathy could really come in handy when navigating the college world.

When you have to sit through those horrid 8 AMs.

It might result in certain death if you have to listen to your professor's monotone voice one more time.

When college starts to get the better of you.

You start to think that you're losing your mind. And after 3 AM I'm sure we could all convince ourselves that we are the 'mother of dragons'.

When you start to regret even going to college.

If only it were as easy as marrying a lord and running away from it all, but alas, we don't live in a fictional world.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
