6 Reasons Why Oliver Queen Is Bae

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
