From the honourable House Stark to cunning House Lannister – we can all get a piece of wisdom and practical truths revealed by each character and highly elaborate plot. Below is a list of 10 things that make student life relatable to Game of Thrones:

Sometimes you may feel your whole world is falling apart. You will deal with all kinds of challenges just like our favorite protagonists in Game of Thrones. You have to face these challenges with your head high. You will find that each hurdle you overcome brings you closer to your goal.
Be polite and fair even to those who aren’t good to you, just like Ser Arthur Dayne. Being righteous can get you places, and you leave a good impression when needed.
Even before Ygritte uttered these words, this has already become famous with the help of ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who said “I know that I know nothing.” Nobody has all the facts, all the wisdom, and all the foresight at all times. This is what makes us human, we make mistakes. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
You should always know your worth and when you are wronged, don’t be afraid to speak up just like the Mother of Dragons, Daenarys Targaryen.
How many times did we see Tyrion Lannister hold on to his life and somehow get saved in the end? He comes up with these clever plans which he doesn’t even know if it will work or not. Learn to improvise and you will be surprised to see that things will work out for you in the end.
Being a student will not last forever. Death came to some of our beloved Game of thrones characters. But an important lesson to remember is that real life can be a shock, but it doesn’t last forever. Eventually, you will finish school and face more challenges that lie ahead.
Always try to stay safe and enjoy while you can. However, too much of anything is not good for anyone.
Cersei is tough to accept her mistakes and repent. Remember that failing is part of life and it helps you learn and grow.
Hodor, even if he knows only one word, is a good example of letting it go. You won’t hear him say anything. You will meet a lot of people over the course of your student life. Some stay and some leave your inner circle, and some are just not worth your time. Realise that some people are just not worth your attention. Letting go is not only a relief, but a jolt of fresh energy.
Taking advice from someone with the necessary knowledge and experience is not a sign of weakness. It proves that you are open to input and ideas that might make you look at things in a way that you never thought about. Take it from Joffrey’s hard-learned lesson from his uncle when he refused to follow his advice.
