10 Qualities That Make Lip Gallagher Absolutely Irresistible
Showtime

If you aren't a fan of "Shameless" already, you're doing it wrong. Originally a United Kingdom television series, it was remade by the television network Showtime in 2011. The U.K. version is decent, but the U.S. one will have you planning dates with you, yourself and endless rolls of takeout sushi in bed on a Friday night.

Phillip Gallagher: the ultimate "bad boy, but I just wanna change him" persona. The guy you can't take home to mom ... but you can definitely take to formal. Nicknamed "Lip," as perfectly as it suits him, is no question the best character in the series. He always has the best story lines, the best dialogue and not to mention, his hair is the perfect combination of sexy and a complete mess. So if you've seen the show, or if you haven't, I'm sure you can agree that these attributes make Lip Gallagher absolutely irresistible.

1. His brain.

A straight-A student in high school, Lip doesn't really care about his grades at first, which kind of just makes him even more attractive. After he's accepted to MIT though, it's hard to not drool over his dedication to school, or the way he can intellectually compete with his professors.


2. His love interests.

Karen, the crazy (yet somehow you adore her) first love. Mandy, who was alright, but we still thank her for getting Lip into college. Amanda, the relatable example of innocently falling for a jerk. And of course Helene, the MILF we all want to be when we're older.

3. The way he sneaks up on you.

You don't notice it at first, but Lip grows on you. Watch a season or two and you'll be head over heels for that sarcastic look in his eyes.

4. His past.

Even though he desperately doesn't want to be like his father, Lip resembles Frank in a variety of ways. He's trying to escape his presumed future and his horrible past, but he can't seem to shake it. All the more reason to keep watching.

5. The way he parties.

Who doesn't appreciate a guy that can have a great time? It gets him into serious trouble, but when he's the house-boy for a sorority, you can't help to wish you were there, too.

6. His love for kids.

From his little brother Liam to his niece Frankie, Lip handles children with the cutest care. And we just love him more for it.

7. His sense of responsibility (kind of).

He always has his family's back, no matter the situation. Once he grows up and goes to college, he's great with his schoolwork ... you know, until the Helene situation ruins everything.

8. His style.

The effortless "I don't care" look works seamlessly with his curly hair and giant, gorgeous blue eyes.

9. His nonchalant attitude.

Let's put it this way: he doesn't give a crap about what anyone thinks.

10. The way we want to change him.

Despite his many flaws, we just wanna take him in and tame that "bad boy" mentality. Isn't that the dream?


Well, we can either drool over our thoughts about Lip Gallagher, or ... we can go watch the latest episode of Season 6. I think I'll do the latter.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
