Game of Thrones Season Finale Was Mind-Blowing

The epic conclusion to the hit HBO show and fans' reactions to it

Game of Thrones Season Finale Was Mind-Blowing

WARNING. CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM LATEST EPISODE

Where do I even begin to describe my reaction to the season six finale of Game of Thrones? How about unbelievable? Jaw-dropping? Epic? These words do little justice to the finale, as it was one of the most incredible episodes HBO has ever premiered.

From the first minute of the episode to the last was non-stop action and cliff-hanging dialouge that made many people yell at their televisions (myself included), the episode was perfectly executed. The first 20 minutes of the episode were absolutely insane! Cersei Lannister might have made it to the top ten boss women in history after this episode. One way or another, Cersei always gets what she wants and she gets back at any and every person that ever wronged her; starting with Maester Pycelle who was unfortunately killed by an army of little kids.

After taking care of Pycelle, Cersei was about to light things up in the Sparrow's Temple. Queen Margarey, Ser Loras and the High Sparrow were all awaiting for Cersei's arrival but she sat safe and sound in her room as this happened:

Boom.

How epic was that? This was my favorite part of the episode and possibly the entire series right next to the Red Wedding. I won't go too much into the rest of the episode as many of the fans know what happened from Tommen's little trip, Arya finally getting rid of Walder Frey, uncovering Jon Snow's secret of where he came from and Cersei taking her place on the Iron Throne. Here is what some of the loyal, devoted fans have to say about the episode:

"It was actually very good, in terms of keeping everyone on their feet. It definitely left people wanting more. The writers know how to bait an audience and make them dread the waiting for a new season" -Jazmine Gregory

"This episode definitely made up for the drier moments in the season." -Nick Razo

"The season six finale was so great. It gave us so much progression to the story that's been built up for seasons and it was satisfying." -Evan Grady

"Winter is finally here" -Nick Rocha

In my personal opinion, I thought this episode was truly spectacular! Every scene had me shouting at my television screen, as I could not believe what was happening before my eyes. This show has done an excellent job at crafting its story and developing its characters unlike most shows on television. At first, I refused to watch the show because many people would not stop raving about it. I was annoyed until my friends finally convinced me to watch the first couple episodes. immediately, I was hooked and have spent at least $200 in Game of Thrones merchandise.

Now I think it is one of my favorite shows on tv. Not only does it have a fantastic story, but also its characters, settings, costumes, themes and plot twists it incorporates. Many fans would agree as well. I asked fans how and why they got into the show in the first place; this is what they responded with:

"I love the show. I love the character developments and different ties.I started watching it on HBOGO because I finally got the opportunity. And I became addicted instantly." -Jazmine Gregory

"My brother started watching the first few episodes but stopped for a bit. I eventually decided to give it a shot and immediately fell in love with the story. I eventually got my brother hooked, along with a few friends" -Nick Razo

Sadly, now all devoted fans have to wait about ten months until the next season.

Until then, remember all loyal fans, "When you play the Game of Thrones you either win or you die"

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.
