16 Guys Who Set Your Standards Too High

People often blame Disney for setting girls' standards too high when it comes to dating. "You're never going to meet a real Prince Charming," they say. That's fine with me. I'm more upset that I'm never going to meet a McDreamy or McSteamy anytime soon. I don't blame Disney, I blame Shonda Rhimes. Whoever cast "Friday Night Lights," were you looking to ruin my life? From the hot to the cute to the absolutely heart-melting, here are 15 non-Disney dudes who totally ruined your expectations for the dating world:

1. Derek Shepherd

But we all know you're so much more than a guy in a bar. Thanks for setting the standard for attractive, romantic doctors. Then in later seasons, thanks again for setting the standard for the perfect husband and father.


2. Mark Sloan

He messed up a lot, but he also lived up to our Derek Shepherd set standards for a beautiful hospital staff. Plus he has his nice moments that make him even better.


3. Alex Karev

Maybe not your favorite character in the first couple of seasons, but when he started working in pediatrics, it was hard not o fall in love with him.


4. Jackson Avery

Those big blue eyes were a nice addition to an already perfect hospital staff. Plus, he missed Mark as much as the rest of us.


5. Tim Riggins

Being the football-playing bad boy is definitely how he caught your attention. How much he loves his family and friends is what made you wish he was real. Texas forever.


6. Coach Eric Taylor

The best character on the show, maybe in any show, he is absolutely perfect in every way. Who doesn't idolize his marriage a little bit anyway?


7. Nathan Scott

Once he fell for Hayley, it was impossible not to fall for him. Their relationship is easily one of the best parts of the show and a standard-setter for sure.


8. Lucas Scott

In season one, when you hated Nathan, he was the lovable Scott brother. Sensitive athlete? Chad Michael Murray was born to play that role (as he did multiple times).


9. Julian Baker

Because Brooke Davis is already perfect, and a man that deserves her has to be too.


10. Stiles Stilinski

The single reason I still watch "Teen Wolf," he's such a cutie. His season one crush on Lydia definitely made you think twice about choosing the hero (Scott) over the nerdy sidekick.


11. Chuck Bass

If he didn't make you want to move to Manhattan and start wearing headbands, you're lying. Plus, he set the standard for flower buying at peonies.


12. Nate Archibald

I can't figure out why he didn't wind up with anyone on this show. He's gorgeous, driven and a regular Prince Charming type.


13. Dan Humphrey

Some people might disagree, but his undying love for Serena was kinda cute (also very creepy). Plus he dated Hillary Duff on the show and if she could see something in him, so can we.


14. Damon Salvatore

Vampires definitely aren't my thing, but if there's a reason to watch that show, it's him. Check out those pretty blue eyes.


15. Uncle Jesse

In honor of the release of "Fuller House," can we appreciate how cute he is? Thanks for being our first crush.


16. Jim Halpert

His over-the-top pranks and love for Pam make him literally perfect. Even if he isn't the cutest, he won our hearts anyway.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
