12 Steps To Prepare For The 'Game Of Thrones' Season Finale

'Tis the season for revealed plot line outcomes and horrible, violent character deaths. If you've been keeping up with this season of "Game of Thrones," you know that it's time for the most anticipated and dreaded event of the season: the finale. You probably also know that the episode is titled "The Winds of Winter," the same name as the notorious sixth book in the series that has yet to make its debut. With White Walkers on the way and several, season-long plot lines that need to come to a head, your nerves are probably wrecked with fear and excitement. You need a game plan to deal with all of the inevitable emotion that's going to ensue; here are some steps that can help with you prepare.

1. Realize that the season finale is going to be brutal because the last two episodes have been too good.

Arya Stark going home? Sansa watching Ramsey getting eaten alive by dogs? Basically all of your favorite characters survive a devastating battle? Probably means that you're going to cry next week.

2. Watch the trailer 10 times to try and figure out what's going to happen/ become even more confused.

3. Find an emotional support system.

You most likely already have one of these; but just in case, make sure you have someone (or crowds of people) to watch the show with. Remember, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.

4. Discuss or research different theories and place bets on who is going to die in the episode.


With an episode title like "The Winds of Winter," there is definitely a lot to theorize.

5. Buy tissue boxes in bulk.

You're going to need them. I suggest Costco or BJ's.

6. Find a room to watch where you can scream without people getting annoyed with you.

Preferably with those people screaming with you.

7. Claim space on the couch to jump on.

When major plot points happen, you're most likely going to leap from your seat and/or run around the room in a panic. Just make sure that you don't injure anyone in the process.

8. Prepare for the inevitable death of several of your favorite characters.

I really hate to say this, but it's going to happen. We've just been too lucky. Someone is going down, and you need to emotionally come to terms with the fact that part of your soul is going to die.

9. Make snacks.

If part of your soul is going to die, it might as well die while you're eating chips and guacamole.

10. Remind yourself that you've survived the death of Ned Stark, the Red Wedding and Hodor. You can do this.

Nothing can be worse than that, right?......right?

11. Get wine.

This is one of the most important phases. Even if you don't have a support group, a place to watch where you can move around, or get mentally ready, you can still get wine.

12. Realize that there's nothing you can do to prepare yourself for what is about to happen.

Good luck, everyone. Winter is here.

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.
