Your Major as a ‘Game of Thrones’ Character

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.

Have you ever wondered what Game of Thrones character your major would be if it were turned into one? Well, we here at Her Campus have wondered that, so we invented this handy list.

English Literature: Jon Snow

Let’s face it, some ignorant people look down on your major, but once they get to know you, people realize how talented and brilliant you actually are. And as perhaps the most ancient field of study, you’re pretty much the main character, just like Jon Snow!

Biology: Sansa Stark

Beautiful and widely respected, your major is just like Sansa. Plus, we have a feeling that if Sansa were still around today, she would totally be a bio major. She just kind of has that vibe.

Philosophy: Tyrion

People may laugh at you or even dismiss you, but what they don’t understand is that you’re a genius who knows what’s really going on behind the scenes. What’s more, you’re always ready with the sly and insightful quips!

Journalism: Cersei

You have a tendency to deal in secrets and juicy stories, just like Cersei! Using your keen eye, you’re always on the lookout for the next hot gossip or salacious scandal that you can whip into a story and sell to people.

Business: Joffrey

With a major centered entirely on profit and monetary gain, you’re just like Joffrey! You work tirelessly to ensure that capital continues to circulate among the historically privileged, and that the heads continue to roll.

Computer Science: Lord Varys

You’ve achieved a high place in society through your cunning and ability to game the system. Though people may roll their eyes, everyone knows they really need you. Plus, Lord Varys and Alan Turing, the father of computer science, were both castrated!

Agriculture: Hodor

You’re strong, hardworking, and committed to your cause. Everyone knows how nice you are and how much they depend on the work you do.

Physics: Bran Stark

What you do may seem like magic, and maybe that’s because it actually is. Well, it is in Bran’s case anyway. In your case, it’s just empirical and mathematical research—kind of the opposite of magic, actually.

Political Science: Lord Baelish

Crafty and ready with a plan, just like Petyr Baelish, Poly Sci majors are always up to something. You’ve learned a lot about the political world, and you’re ready to use that knowledge.

Engineering: Sir Davos

Quiet and mostly boring, both engineering majors and Sir Davos actually play really important roles. Your work may seem tedious, and it probably is, but it’s integral to the functioning of a technologically advanced society.

Marketing Concentration: Ramsay Bolton

You’re great at getting under people’s skin—maybe even literally! Just kidding. But still, your skills in manipulating people’s emotions for twisted purposes are unparalleled.

Math: Daenerys Targaryen

Math is the most central discipline for all the natural sciences, so of course it only makes sense that Math majors are just like Queen Daenerys. Go you! With Tyrion at your side, you are ready to rule.

And that’s it, folks! We hope you’ve found this list helpful.
