There are more villains than heroes in this show.

Power Ranking The Worst "Game Of Thrones" Characters
HBO

The cast of HBO’s "Game of Thrones" is one of the largest on television and has its fair share of both heroes and villains. Though I love me some Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, and Arya Stark, there seems to be more characters in the show that I hate than I actually like.

Maybe this is because my favorite characters are somehow always in a conflict, or maybe it's that this show's producers like to see me in pain. Here are the 24 "Game of Thrones" characters I hate the most, from "somewhat taking a disliking to" all the way to "making my blood boil whenever they are on screen" (you already know there's going to be spoilers if you're not caught up):


24. Bran Stark

Hodor. That’s why.

23. Cersei Lannister

I felt bad for her when she had to repent for her sins (“SHAME!”), but it still doesn’t change the fact that Cersei has done some pretty terrible things in the show.

22. Lady Melisandre, 21. Stannis Baratheon, and 20. Selyse Baratheon

These three characters are together on this list because together they agreed to sacrifice Princess Shireen Baratheon to the Lord of Light and that is something I will never forgive. Shireen was one of the kindest, smartest characters on the show and what does she get? Her own parents burning her alive. What makes everything worse was that one heartfelt scene (arguably the only heartfelt scene in the entire monster of a show) when Stannis told Shireen that he didn’t care what anyone thought about him when Shireen first got Greyscale. It was so sweet. Yet, like five seconds later, he was like, "LOL, JK!" and traded his own daughter in order to get the crown. And look how that turned out.

19. Lysa Arryn

Don’t you dare lay a finger on Sansa. Also, who falls in love with Littlefinger?

18. Gregor Clegane (The Mountain)

As a child, he held his brother’s face in a fire for playing with his toy without asking, and as an adult, he killed Oberyn Martell, one of the most beloved characters on the show. Oberyn did whatever he wanted in the show and now the Mountain is some sort of Frankenstein monster.

17. Pycelle

Something about his beard looks sinister.

16. Hizdahr zo Loraq

He tried multiple times to convince Daenerys to reinstate slavery. Thanks, but no thanks.

15. Pyat Pree

Look at this sassy modeling shot I found.

14. Rast

Anyone who messes with Sam and a dog is a jerk.

13. Alliser Thorne

Can you imagine killing someone and having them come back to life? Like, honestly, sucks to be you.

12. Karl Tanner

The worst of the turned Night’s Watch men who was in charge of the hellhole that was Craster’s Keep.

11. Styr

He’s a cannibal. Enough said.

10. Kraznys mo Nakloz

(Side note: try pronouncing that name. I can't, and I doubt you can. Then imagine what it's like to be Emilia Clarke, who speaks in a made-up language for 80 percent of her lines.) Daenerys killing his guy with her dragons and claiming the Unsullied army was hands down one of the greatest scenes in the series.

9. High Sparrow

I don’t understand how he hasn’t been killed yet. Everyone on this show is so easy to kill, but nothing has been done yet to kill this guy. Not yet, anyway.

8. Meryn Trant

I’m mad Ayra went blind after killing him, but he deserved it.

7. Viserys Targaryen

Again, he deserved it, too.

6. Waif

If I have to see one more episode of this girl beating up Arya with a stick, I’m going to take a stick and break my TV. Like, it’s been two seasons of this.

5. Walder Frey

Walder Frey, a.k.a. Mr. Filch from the "Harry Potter" movies, was the one behind the Red Wedding, all because Robb Stark didn’t marry one of his daughters. I’m still not over it.

4. Tywin Lannister

LOL, he died pooping.

3. Olly

You killed Ygritte and Jon Snow. You are a murderer of love!

2. Ramsay Bolton

The first time we meet Ramsay, he is torturing Theon (who kind of deserved some of it) but then he weasels his way to inheriting his father's name and somehow marries Sansa. Did I mention he's pure evil? For example, remember that time he stabbed his father in the heart and then fed his step-mother and his newborn baby (who was Ramsay's brother) to the dogs? When his equally-evil girlfriend Myranda died, it was so satisfying, and I'm hoping Ramsay's eventual death will be just as rewarding. (This show makes me sound like a psychopath.)

And finally, we have the one and only...

1. Joffrey Baratheon

Where do I even start? In the very beginning of the show, he killed Sansa's wolf and the butcher's boy for no reason. He beheaded Ned Stark and made Sansa look at his head on a spike. He ordered the killing of any man or child who might have been an illegitimate son of Robert Baratheon (which is ironic, considering Joffrey wasn't his real son). He shot that one "very classy lady" with a crossbow multiple times for fun. He didn't even stick around during the Battle of the Blackwater. And of course, he was making fun of everyone up until the very last minute of his life. To be honest, I have never been so happy with anything in any television show as I was the moment Joffrey ate the poisoned pie. In reality, he was such a good villain, but I can’t even think about Joffrey without getting angry.


Well, I guess they all can't be Ser Davos, can they?

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.

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.
