You either win or you cry because college is hard as heck.

College, As Told By 'Game Of Thrones'

If you are like me, you're excited that Game of Thrones has returned. In honor of this, it is only suiting to have an article dedicated to Game of Thrones that details what it is like to be in college through the gifs of GoT. The number of times you say "same" makes you wonder if Jon Snow DOES know something.

1. Moving into college and having to play the new games.

Who are you? Where are you from? What's your fun fact? Blood type?

2. Going into your first day of classes feeling amazing and confident.

Yes, I have underlined and kept detailed notes of all the important parts of the introduction of the readings.

3. Syllabus week has you thinking it will all be easy breezy.

This is nothing. You're ready for what happens, you'll follow your planner and take on everything you can.

4. The reality of college starts to set in quickly, especially for hook-up culture.

Having fun and hooking up can be fun but sometimes you end up with the worst people. Like, calm down Todd, I just need help with our Multicultural Lit course.

5. Your dreams of straight A's and keeping up with work start to dwindle.

Where is your planner now? Lost with that math book you aren't sure you actually bought? Do you really need a degree?

6. Things begin to pile up, classes become longer, papers are more extensive, the material much more ridiculous.

Why am I even here? Does my professor know how much sleep I get at night? When was the last night I slept? Do I even know how to add or subtract anymore?

7. Despite all the issues with the school week, you know that you can drink it off on the weekend.

*do not drink if you are an alcoholic and potentially seeking to rule the kingdom by destroying your son's wife and high sparrow*

8. As the semester goes on, you start to wonder if you're really ready for what comes during finals.

Wait, I swear I've read this chapter? DID I? DO I KNOW HOW TO DO MATH? OR LIFE?

9. Trying to juggle a social life, maybe a job, and being a full-time student leaves you thinking that college won't be the best years of your life and you are NOT capable of doing it all.

Whoever said college is the best clearly didn't suffer sleep deprivation, mental breakdowns, and dramatic human beings that still act like they're in high school. You cannot have it all.

10. Soon you start to prepare yourself for finals and you know that means you either win or you die.

Bring it on, Prof. I'm ready to ace this final, I hope. I might cry. I don't know.

11. College finals start to test your intelligence to all levels.

You had straight A's in high school and you've clearly shown signs that you're capable of any and everything but yet you still wonder if you're up for what is going on.

12. Come the end of Winter finals, you start to think of all the mistakes you made.

Some may have had a good first semester, some may not have, but you know that no matter the outcome, you wonder if you REALLY gave it your best shot.

13. You enjoy your winter break and come back into school full swing.

You know you're ready for this and can come back strong. NO one is perfect and you are not going to back down from a challenge.

14. If you have to go through sorority recruitment behind the scenes or as a PNM, you tend to feel the same way as everyone else.

What do you wear? What do I say? AM I REALLY INTERESTING ENOUGH? SHOULD I BE WEIRD OR NORMAL? WHAT IS NORMAL?

15. After going through recruitment and deciding if you want to join or not, you start to prepare yourself for the new semester.

Time to really get your s**t in gear this time.

16. However, a few weeks into this new attitude, you start to realize that you maybe really don't care.

You know, you cared so much you gave yourself anxiety so ya know what? Just go with the flow.

17. While you may never really catch onto the game of what is going on completely, you start to learn the ways of the Game.

You start to catch onto the systems in place and how to play them to your advantage.

18. As the semester continues, you start to dive into the fun parts of college and really live life to the fullest!

You may have met your true best friend by now and live life to the fullest by keeping up with what you can and partying it up.

19. The end of the semester is arriving, you know but you're not willing to accept this.

But I was JUST now getting used to college and I'm having fun now! Why is it ending so quickly this semester?

20. Spring Break hits you like a train and you may have traveled to a pretty lit Spring Break Destination.

They don't warn you that Spring Break is incredibly intense your first year and you may not have been ready for this. With time, you become used to it and are more than ready. You have a fanny pack ready to go by now.

21. Now the end of the year is here and you thought it sucked...

But in reality, you're starting to realize that you're ready for the year to be over!

22. The end of the semester has your parent(s) asking you about your grades.

Are you sure you want to know? 100% sure?

23. Whether you're graduating or ending the school year, you're finally happy to be done with the year.

Sure maybe you're working, possibly in class, or you could be having the time of your life on vacation but you're done! Be freee!!!!

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.
