10 Times Matt Saracen Created Unrealistic Expectations for Real Life Men

I recently binge watched the five seasons of "Friday Night Lights" and developed a giant crush for the heartthrob, Matt Saracen. He showed us that men can be vulnerable and strong at the same time, and that being caring and kind is not a sign of weakness. Matt Saracen may be just a TV show character, but he set the bar pretty high for the men in my life.

1. When he was just an average, incredibly socially awkward boy with a crush

It took every ounce of his courage to finally speak to Julie Taylor.

2. His love and care for his grandmother

Nothing warmed your heart more, than seeing Matt helping out Mrs. Saracen

3. That time Landry pointed out that Matt's relationship with his grandma would earn him points with the girls... and Matt's response showed his respect towards woman

Landry, get your head out of the gutter


4. When he stepped up to the plate as QB1 for the Dillon Panthers

and he managed to look like an adorable deer in headlights for about 2 full seasons

5. When he wasn't ashamed to show just how much of a dork he truly was

6. When he had his breakdown in front of Coach Taylor

and it was the most heartbreaking moment of vulnerability.

7. Every time that he and Julie were the perfect couple

Number seven on the field, number one in her heart (and ours)

8. When his father passed away

And yet again, vulnerable Matt Saracen somehow made you swoon, even while ugly crying.

9. The time the show ended PERFECTLY

And I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen, but we couldn't have asked for a better ending.

10. Every time he smiled



How could you not fall for that crooked smile.

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.
