5 OMG Moments Of "Game Of Thrones"

"Game of Thrones" season 6 is finally here! I’ve already stocked up on my box of tissues after the shocking finale of season 5. This television series adaptation of George R. R. Martin's “A Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novel series has been nothing short of amazing. Interwoven in the plot lines is the civil war among noble houses for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms. This series has explored various themes since its inception, including finding its play on language, with the creation of the Dothraki and Valyrian vocabulary. The Los Angeles Times has described this show as “Breathtaking, heartbreaking, awe-inspiring and addictive,” going on to say that “it remains the single most remarkable feat of television, possibly ever, increasingly admirable for its ability to grow rather than simply sustain."

Since its premiere in 2011, "Game of Thrones" has provoked strong reactions from fans with various episodes. I for one have been left open-mouthed, in tears, in utter disbelief, and completely in shock at some of their OMG moments. This fantasy drama has played with my emotions for the past 5 seasons, and with the premiere of season 6 this past Sunday, I had to go back and relive some of the crazy, OMG moments of seasons 1 through 5.

Season 1 Finale, "Fire and Blood"

Daenerys Targaryen walks through fire.


We can all agree by now that Daenerys Targaryen is a bit of a badass, but you have to admit that when she walked into the flames of her dead husband's funeral pyre holding onto the dragon eggs, it was an epic moment. Not only did my mouth drop when she walked into the flames, but when she walks out unscathed, as the "Mother of Dragons," it's definitely a scene to remember.

Season 2 Episode 10, "Valar Morghulis"

An army of White Walkers surrounds the Fist of the First Men.


The White Walkers surrounding the Fist of the First Men. The movement of these figures numbering several hundred through the snow was a sight to remember. Not only did this scene pronounce trouble, but it opened up a whole different plot scene to look forward to.

Season 3 Episode 9, "The Rains of Castamere"

The death of Robb Stark.


This was the episode that had me grabbing for my tissues. In the moment when Catelyn realizes that they've been betrayed and tries to warn Robb, we already knew it was game over. Robb is shot by crossbows, and the massacre of his banner-men begins. Robb is stabbed in the heart and Catelyn's throat is cut. This episode proved to be shocking and emotional for fans.

Season 4 Finale, "The Children"

Tyrion kills Tywin.


We all witnessed the abuse Tyrion had to put up with from his father, Tywin. Tyrion finally had enough after finding the woman he loved, Shae, in his father's bed. Why was Tyrion killing Tywin an OMG moment? Well, we simply didn't think he had the courage to do it, and killing him while he was sitting on the toilet was an added shock bonus.

Season 5 Finale, "Mother's Mercy"

Jon Snow "dies."

The shocker of all shockers. Nothing has ever made me yell "NO!" at my television, except for this scene. This finale was definitely gut-wrenching, leaving fans stunned, and with a whole lot of questions.The reactions from fans alone makes this the ultimate OMG moment of "Game of Thrones."

Season 6 has just begun, and all I can say is "Winter is coming."

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.
