It might be cliche, but I don't know a girl in the world who doesn't love receiving a bouquet of fresh flowers. [now's probably the time where you're thinking you need to copy and paste this link and forward it to your special someone and i say.... do it!!!]

So I'm here to help all you guys out and let you know how to do this flower thing perfectly. I know it can be overwhelming because you walk into a flower shop or a grocery store and are utterly overwhelmed with the amount of different flowers and different colors. Any girl would probably love any gift you picked out, but here's some tips to get the most out of your flower buying experience and make you girl's heart leap with happiness.

1. The type of flower is so important. Yes, roses are cliche and probably only not cliche on Valentines Day, just being honest.

Here's 4 types of flowers/greenery that are rare gems to find but oh so beautiful. You don't want your girl to feel like you bought the same bouquet as every other guy, so here's some types to buy to really shake the game up.

1.Peonies

2. Ranunculus

3. Eucalyptus [now maybe don't get her a bouquet just of Eucalyptus, but this greenery can make any flower look so dreamy]

4. Sunflowers-- it seems like recently the male species has definitely caught onto this trend so claps for you dudes!!!!

2. Take her to pick out the flowers. If you live in a big city, chances are there are actual flower shops new year. AND if you're lucky enough to stand in Nashville PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD, take that beautiful girl to Amelia's Flower Truck. And hey, you don't even have to worry about picking out the right flower, because she gets to do it right there.

^THAT is what dreams are made of [well, mine at least].

3. No matter the size, brand, or type of the bouquet... wrap that sucka in some kraft paper!!! It can make your bouquet go from drab to fab in one easy step!!! And it definitely makes it Instagram worthy 😉

4. Flowers aren't just for Valentine's day or Prom-posals, a girl loves fresh flowers sitting in her house or dorm room anytime. And hey, every time she sees them she'll smile and think of you, and you can't really go wrong there.

Hope this little bit of info about the world of flowers and "woo-ing" your special someone helped. Go get 'em, dudes.

Don't have a special someone? Find someone you love, a roommate, a co-worker, or a friend and let's do something special for them just because.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
