It’s the coolest nerdy thing to ever happen to television.

HBO’s hit series “Game of Thrones” is in the midst of its fourth season and shows no signs of slowing down, already having been renewed for at the least another two seasons. For those of you unfamiliar with “Game of Thrones,” the show is set in primarily what appears to be a renaissance era and follows several noble families from different areas all seeking the “Iron Throne,” or kingship.

It is a complex plot line with countless side stories and unexpected twists. But perhaps what really draw in the fans are the characters, who after enough episodes you feel like you know personally (Or maybe that’s just me?). With such great characters, it makes you wonder which one you’d be.

Whether or not your dislike her attitude towards boys, you have to admit that you have had at least a few of her songs stuck in your head.  Looking past her “public relationships,” we decided to name Taylor Swift our Woman Crush this Wednesday.

At the age of 24, Taylor Swift, has taken the music world by storm, winning over 240 music awards since 2007, when her debut album was released.

However, there’s a fine line between just being a little more in tune with your guy buds and completely friend-zoning yourself. While girls who aren’t afraid to curse like sailors and fall face-first in the mud during a soccer game are great to have around, sometimes being too much of a ‘bro’ can totally hinder your chances for a guy (seriously, been there about one hundred times).

The proper lighting, the right angle and the perfect filter.

For some people, those three things mean nothing. But, for those who are connoisseurs of the selfie, those three things mean everything.

The “selfie” has progressed into something far more than a simple picture. It has been transformed in recent years into (for lack of a better term) an art form, and like any true art form, has accumulated mixed reviews.

“I think that selfies now are more acceptable in public. If you see someone taking one for snapchat it’s kind of funny,” says senior industrial engineering major Natalie Roberts. “It’s when people start taking them in frat bathrooms, at the gym, or while driving that it’s not okay. Do less.” Continue reading →
