Boys, at times, can be great, we can't deny that; boyfriends are also often great. I mean, they have their moments. But sometimes with relationships come stress and heartache, and there are days when you would rather curl up in bed than deal with the problems of the real world. Other times you would rather just forget that the male species exists entirely, and that's when you turn to someone (or something) reliable who won't let you down.
That reliable something is closer than you think. If you're like me, at this very moment, your heated blanket is at home in your bed on the sleeping porch of the sorority house, ready to keep you warm when the temperature drops below 30 degrees and you can see your breath as you're going to sleep: now that's true love.
As if you need further proof, here are a few reasons why your heated blanket is better than any old boyfriend.
1. It sits and waits for you in your bed all day, anticipating your return like a loyal puppy (without all the shedding). That kind of true dedication is hard to find.
2. Your heated blanket is the ultimate snuggle buddy. We are talking 360 degree snuggling. Think: being spooned from every angle (with no complaints).
3. It follows directions the first time it's asked, with just the push of a button — no need for nagging.
4. Speaking of buttons, no need to waste your time on foreplay. Your heated blanket is turned on with just one click. Instant gratification.
5. Your blanket doesn't get mad if you push it off the bed and onto the floor in the middle of the night. It's not your fault you're a bed-hog, and, unlike your boyfriend, your blanket understands.
6. It also understands if you pick your duvet for the night; no need for overreactions and jealousy. You'll be back; you always come back.
7. It won't judge you for laying in bed and watching Netflix all day. Laziness, in the eyes of your blanket, just means spending quality time together.
9. Actually, there is nothing your blanket would like more than to stay in snuggling and having a movie marathon. Who cares if it's Friday night? Your blanket has no prior commitments: you're always the number one priority.
10. However, if you do decide to go out, your blanket is a much cheaper movie date. The biggest problem is finding an outlet in the theater.
11. Not to mention your heated blanket is allowed on the sleeping porch, no questions asked.
