6 Reasons Why Oliver Queen Is Bae
comicvine.gamespot.com

Oliver Queen, (aka The Green Arrow) from the movie "The Green Arrow" is some serious crime fighting eye-candy. He wasn't always the hero we've come to know and love, but know, he's almost irresistible. Putting aside the fact that he's in danger like all the time, here are some reasons why Oliver Queen is the ultimate bae.

1. He's incredibly attractive.

I know looks aren't everything, but just look at him. He's fit, he's got the broody/pouty thing down, and he saves Star City all while managing to look like a Calvin Klein model. Plus his tattoos and scars just seem to add to his hotness.

2. He is the Ultimate Candidate for Character Development.

Oliver Queen was the ultimate bad boy, he slept around, partied hard, and didn't care... But after coming home from being through literal Hell (or technically purgatory) he changed. In fact, Oliver Queen and his alter ego the Green Arrow have changed a lot. His love for his city, his family and friends, and Felicity have made Oliver a better man and hero. He's strayed from his partying days and his terrifying torture techniques to become a good man, who just happens to be a hero on the side.

3. His Love for his Sister, Thea.

You can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats the women in his family. Oliver would do anything for Thea. He's loving, protective, and supportive. He let her become a part of Team Arrow because he sees just how valuable his sister is. Oliver and Thea have been through a lot together, but in the end, they've just become closer. If a man who loves his sister isn't bae material, I don't know what is.

4. His Relationship with Diggle.

John Diggle was the first person Oliver revealed his other identity to, making him the first member of Team Arrow. Diggle started off as Oliver's bodyguard but is now more like a brother to Oliver. They've had their ups and downs, but if anyone can get through to Oliver, it's Diggle. This friendship is a sign of Oliver's loyalty, and who wouldn't want a loyal man?

5. He's Dedicated his Life to Saving his City

And probably, subsequently the world. At first, Oliver used torture and death threats to get what he wanted, but after becoming the Green Arrow, he focuses more on protecting and saving than killing. Along with his team, the Green Arrow does everything they can to save Star City from all kinds of villains. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd be pretty happy with a man who's saved countless lives and could like protect me from almost anything.

6. His Love for Felicity

One of the few downsides to Oliver Queen is that he's (sorta) unavailable. I started rooting for Oliver and Felicity the moment he walked into her cubicle with a bullet-ridden laptop. It took them a few seasons to finally see that they were perfect for each other, but when they did, I cried. Oliver loves Felicity more than anything or anyone. He hasn't always been perfect, but everything he's done, he's done to protect her. His love and loyalty to Felicity is the kind every girl dreams of having.

So there it is, six reasons why Oliver Queen is the ultimate bae. His life might be a little (or a lot) dangerous, but a little danger is always fun. Plus, Oliver Queen is gorgeous, loyal, protective, and just plain bad ass. Next time you're on Netflix looking for something to watch, pick "The Green Arrow" and fall in love with Oliver Queen, you won't regret it.

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.
