Let’s get real. Instead of studying, there’s a 98 per cent chance you’ve been catching up on all the things that have been happening in Westeros: the drama, the battles, the Tormund/Brienne of Tarth memes.

But have you ever considered how some of your favourite Game Of Thrones characters would be as a uni student like us?

We examined a bunch of our faves to figure out what their study strategies would be and who’s most likely to pull in the HDs. #examsarecoming

Tyrion Lannister

Everyone’s favourite Lannister is the kind of uni student you’d always find in the library or sitting up the back of the lecture room nursing a hangover. When he’s not doing his assignments at the last minute, he’s checking out the dankest memes in the Seven Kingdoms.

Tyrion would also be that guy who – despite his procrastination suggesting otherwise – still gets a HD for everything.

Sansa Stark

Sansa has a lot of things on her plate right now, what with being the Lady of Winterfell, dealing with what remains of her family and avoiding Littlefinger.

She would be the kind of super-organised student who carries around a cute colour coded planner. She might not get the highest grades, but her hard work and quiet cunning would see her get what she deserves.

Cersei Lannister

You can find Cersei at the uni bar, because a queen shouldn’t have to go to classes, right? Especially not when she can bribe or seduce the tutor.

If that fails, she’ll choose violence. Because in the game of exams, you either get a HD or you die. There can be no middle ground.

Jon Snow

Jon Snow might be lucky to scrape a pass, because he seriously knows nothing.

When he’s not planning how to defeat the White Walkers or perfecting his man bun, he’s secretly thinking about that cute blonde dragon queen he saw at the coffee shop that morning.

Davos Seaworth

If you were put into a group assignment with Davos, you’d initially roll your eyes at being placed with a mature-age student. But Davos, you’ll soon realise, is fucking awesome.

He’s wise, kind, willing to work hard and contribute to the group. And even though fermented crab is kinda weird, it’s still cool that he brings snacks to group meetings.

Joffrey Baratheon

While Davos is the kind of guy you’d want working with you on a group assignment, Joffrey is the exact opposite. He never contributes to discussions, rarely shows up to group meetings and you’re pretty sure that he gets his mum to write his assignments for him.

Oh, and he’s threatened to behead the tutor a few times. No big deal, right?

Lyanna Mormont

The Lady of Bear Island is too young to deal with HECS debt and picking majors. But if anyone dared to give her anything less than a HD, Lyanna Mormont would glare at them until they died.

Daenerys Targaryen

There’s never enough room on exam papers to fit here super long list of titles (though simply writing ‘Ben D. Knee’ would probably do).

The Breaker of Chains has also been asked to stop bringing her pets to class.

Oberyn Martell

Given the mountain-load of assignments and exams that uni students get, studying is really doing Oberyn’s head in right now.

Hodor

While not the sharpest tool in the shed, Hodor would always enthusiastically contribute to class discussions. And at the end of every tute, he’d hold the door open for- OH MY GOD, WE’RE STILL NOT OVER THIS!

Vivienne Cowburn is an eclectic writer and ardent coffee snob. When she’s not studying Creative Writing at QUT, she’s dreaming of becoming a shark.
