The Top 14 Nerdiest Fandoms

We are all a fan of something. Everyone has that one obsession that just consumes them and they never fall out of love with it. "But Seth, what is a fandom?" Well, a fandom is a book series, show, anime, comic, or some other form of entertainment that has a cult of adoring fans - who will either admit it or not - following their every interaction with the outside world. So, in the spirit of Halloween and everyone dressing up, I give you: "The Top 14 Nerdiest Fandoms".

14. Harry Potter

The best fantasy film franchise in history is also one of my favorite book series ever! I have read all the Harry Potter books seven times! Thank you J.K Rowling!

13. Disney

From princesses to mice with gloves, Disney may have the biggest fan base of any fandom known to man.

12. Once Upon A Time

This new spin on Fairy Tales has captured the hearts of millions since 2011!

11. Star Wars

There was a point in my life where I could quote every line of the Original Trilogy.

10. Doctor Who

We all need some "wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey stuff" every now and again!

9. Game of Thrones

I've never been a fan of Game of Thrones, but everybody else seems to have gotten the memo!

8. Lord of the Rings

I love Lord of the Rings. I'm not as well versed in it as other things I love but my twitter handle is @hobbitinaUKhat, if that counts for anything.

7. Star Trek

There is a wonderful universe within Star Trek! I have seen every episode of the Original Series and have my own blue shirt!

6. Detective Comics

Better villains.

5. Marvel Comics

Better heroes.

4. Nightmare Before Christmas

It takes a special person to love Tim Burton. I can be that person depending on what mood I'm in, but my sweetheart has a special place in her heart for Mr. Skellington.

3. Battlestar Galactica

So now we are transitioning into the super nerd-tastic stuff. Battlestar Galactica is for those people who can't find love in Star Wars or Star Trek and need to be eradicated.

2. World of Warcraft

I used to know some guys that went batty over WOW. I never got into it myself, but the guys and girls that play it have their own little universe.

1. My Little Pony

I think everyone knows at least one "Bronie" - that is, a guy who enjoys watching My Little Pony. They are a strange people... But, you do you! Be strange!


Everyone geeks out about something! So whatever it is, nerd loud and proud, my friends! Grab your lightsabers, wands, gaming computers, Segas, Dreamcasts, phasers, or Princess dresses and go forth!

And remember:

"The Force will be with you always." - Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
