12 Phrases That Mean Something Different To Game Of Thrones Fans

"Game of Thrones" is the show everyone loves even though it's possibly the most depressing thing on television.

In all of its glory, it's taught us a lot of new definitions for words and phrases we thought we already understood. Boy were we wrong.

1. Weddings

What we once thought: Joyous celebrations of love and matrimony

What we know now: Bloodbaths where everybody dies leaving you empty inside. Except when Joffrey dies, because that was a long time coming.

2. PETA

If you're a horse you face a 50/50 chance of getting beheaded or mutilated. The odds are far worse if you're a direwolf. #RIPSummer

If only we could go back to the good old days when Ghost was a little runt being discovered by Jon Snow for the first time.

3. An Eye For An Eye

Karma doesn't always come through, but when it does, it's full of irony. Sometimes, when you push a boy out a window and paralyze his legs, you get your dominant hand chopped off. Everything comes full circle.

4. Self Discovery

Arya needed some me-time to find herself, so naturally she went to an ancient house to learn how to peel people’s faces off so she could wear them. A little off the beaten path maybe but in the end she really did find herself so to each her own.

And she's going home!

5. Siblings

People you probably shouldn't make babies with unless you want another Joffrey.

6. Vengeance

Can include feeding your enemy a pie filled with his murdered sons and/or burning a sept full of people to the ground and destroying half the city in the process.

7. Sword

Actually a synonym for "heart," just ask Brienne of Tarth.

8. Shady

No one knows anyone's intentions ever, and that makes everything high key stressful 24/7.

Petyr Baelish: the shadiest of them all.

9. "Hold the Door"

I'm not crying, you're crying. *sobs uncontrollably*

10. Family Reunions

If the last of the Starks are ever reunited, after everything they’ve been through it should make for an interesting conversation.

11. Redemption

It's impossible to deny that Theon made a lot of mistakes, and Reek made a lot as well, but with Yara's help it seems that young Theon is on his way to becoming the man Ned Stark always wanted him to be.

12. Girl Power

*Drops mic*

Can't wait to see what other words get added to our dictionary in Season 7!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
