10 great literary Hearthrobs That'll Make Anyone Who Loves To Read Swoon

I have spent most of my time reading books, and I feel like pieces of my heart remain with the characters I've encountered. I've decided to make a list of the characters I genuinely love despite the fact that they're fictional (and therefore unattainable). Also, so you might see why I love them, I've included quotes!

1. Edmund Pevensie, "The Chronicles of Narnia"

"But even a traitor may mend. I have known one that did."

2. Peter Pan, "Peter Pan"

"You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you. That's where I'll be waiting."

3. Huckleberry Finn, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"

"That's just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it."

4. Ponyboy Curtis, "The Outsiders"

"Just don't forget that some of us watch the sunset too."

5. Johnny Cade, "The Outsiders"

"You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There's still a lot of good in the world."

6. Gilbert Blythe, "Anne of Green Gables"

"Hey, carrots. Carrots!"

7. Augustus Waters, "The Fault in Our Stars"

"You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing."

8. Jay Gatsby, "The Great Gatsby"

"He had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced, or seemed to face, the whole external world for an instant and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor."

9. Samwise Gamgee, "The Lord of the Rings"

  1. "There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."

10. Mr. Darcy

"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you."

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
