Trust me, you'll want to read the fine print.

Game Of Thrones Baes: RANKED
Popsugar

*This article contains a few spoilers: if you haven't been glued to "GoT" for five seasons, I would continue reading at your own risk*

So two days ago, I finished the fifth season of "Game of Thrones" (I know I'm late to the game).

After sitting in a dark room for a few hours guzzling a bottle of wine and babbling about what had just happened to my roommates, I didn't really know what to do with myself. In preparation for season six, and to honor those gone (brutally murdered) as well as those still with us, I decided to make a little ranking of all our favorite GoT baes (men only, sorry).

You will notice certain people did not make this list because, to put it simply, they are horrible.

Here we go y'all:

20. Joffrey Baratheon

Yeah, I know, f**k that guy. But to me, he is kind of the Draco Malfoy of the series. I mean he's fascinating, probably one of the most sadistic yet interesting characters I've ever seen. And yes, when he died, I squealed with glee, but he still deserves a spot on this list cause he's out of this world.

19. Roose Bolton


There is some weird part of me that finds Roose Bolton somewhat attractive. Yes, he's awful for obvious reasons, but he's very stealthy. Gotta respect it. Or maybe I just like him cause his last name is Bolton as in Troy Bolton the star of the hit Disney Channel Original Movie "High School Musical." But I don't know.

18. Petyr Baelish


The ultimate sleazeball. The guy you can never quite read. Some might call him "frat." I can never trust Lord Baelish, but I think that's what makes us still believe in him and hope that he will use his powers for good. (Kind of like the guy you've been trying to get to commit to you but probably never will). That kind of hope.

17. The Hound

If you're into actual neanderthals, the Hound is for you. While I hated him just as much as most people at the beginning, I really began to love his and Arya's relationship. Did I agree with everything he did? Hell nah. But he had some value, maybe even a little heart.

16. That poor guy they married off to Filch's daughter

I don't even know this dude's name. All I know if that I feel bad for him. What even happened to him? Is he dead? Is he being held hostage? Does he even know everyone died because of the wedding he didn't want to have? I need answers.

15. Loras Tyrell

Loras Tyrell is most definitely a regulation hottie. But that doesn't excuse the fact that he is probably one of the dumbest people on this show. He reminds me of an interbred goldendoodle. I mean it's amazing he's survived this long, really. I do love watching him fight, though. He can use his sword like no other (Ha!).

14. Ser Bronn

Bronn is literally such a joke it's hilarious. All he cares about is alcohol, sex, and dueling. But underneath all that, you can tell he is a good guy. That, combined with his comic relief, is enough to make the writers keep him alive (for now).

13. Gendry Baratheon (technically)

Ha! Gendry is probably the biggest victim on the show. He was literally dragged into this whole mess with no choice. People are always trying to kill him, and do we even know what happened to him after he escaped from Melisandre? I think not. He ain't too bad on the eyes either.

12. Jorah Mormont

Okay. Honestly, sometimes Jorah can be a bit much for me, but I know that deep down that silver fox has a heart of pure gold. While his obsession with Khaleesi is a little aggressive, I respect it. One of the few die-hard loyal characters on the show.

11. Tormund Giantsbane

The Ginger Wild-ling. Just, yes. A real-life Abominable Snowman. What could be better? This guy is so legit, and that's all there is to it. Total bad-ass. I approve. Used to hate him, but I'm kind of becoming a fan.

10. Samwell Tarly

Ugh, how can you not love him? Just an all-around good guy. I think we all thought Sam was going to finish last, but recent developments prove that sometimes, nice guys indeed do finish first.

9. Grey Worm

One of the sweetest characters, even though he was raised to be a brutal killing machine. He and Missandei are the cutest, most innocent couple on the show (if that is even possible). I just want good things to happen for them.

8. Khal Drogo

This guy haunts (or blesses, I'm not really sure yet) my dreams. A combination of Tarzan, the Hulk, and Godzilla, Khal Drogo is what you call a man's man. After a bit of a rough patch, he and Khaleesi turned into the ultimate #baegoals. He also rocks guy-liner and long hair better than I do.

7. Jaqen H'ghar

His sense of mystery is just what gets me! I mean I thought I would get sick of the way he talks, but I live for it. I mean, every time he speaks I get very confused, but hey, isn't that how we like all our men? Also, work that blonde streak.

6. Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion can literally do no wrong in my eyes. He is the heart of the show, and the hope and future of Westeros. The speech he gave when he was on trial had me yelling, "yas," at 3 a.m. when all my roommates were sleeping. Legend.

5. Ned Stark

None of us are even worthy of talking about Ned Stark. A true leader, and in my opinion, blood aside, should have been the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms. The ultimate hero, and also my mother's man crush. His downfall: being too good. Not. Over. It.

4. Darrio Naharis

*Swoon* Look at him. Tall, dark, and handsome, what more do we want? Major props to him for not only being an expert swordsman but for also getting Daeneryes to trust him (something we know she does not easily do). A player turned lover, I'd trust him to guard me.

3. Robb Stark

Strong, chiseled...gone too soon. While I love Robb Stark probably more than the average person, he is not the smartest Stark in Winterfell. Like father like son, leading with his heart was the biggest mistake he made. Like his heart, mine will never recover.

2. Jaime Lannister

He gets a gif because look at that smile.

Besides the minor incident with throwing a young boy out of a tower, Jaime Lannister has had the biggest turnaround of any character in the series. Minus a hand, and still sexy as hell, he has the best attitude/motives. He obviously has some issues because Cersei is terrible and he deserves someone like I'm just going to say it--Brienne of Tarth-- but hey, you love who you love right?

1. Finally: Jon Snow

Be still my heart. When Jon Snow became a man, I became a woman. There was no one I wanted to be more than that ginger wildling in a hot tub in the middle of a snowstorm. Clearly Ned Stark's son, Jon also simply wanted to do the right thing. And as we've learned in this show, it is those who want to do good, that fall the hardest. Love you forever, Jon Snow.

People not on this list: Stannis Baratheon (obvious reasons) Ramsay Bolton (I wish I could kill him myself) Theon Greyjoy (still not over any of his shenanigans). I could go on and on.

Thanks for reading, and remember. Winter is Coming. April 24.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
