How Can You Not Love Mr. Darcy?

Even though he's carried as being prideful, rude and occasionally a jerk, Darcy is still amazing.

Ask anyone who has had a literature course, there's a good chance they have read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. This classic story takes on the typical love story, but of course it's Jane Austen, and well she always has to add in the sassy.

But as I begin to re-read Pride and Prejudice, for the fourth time, it still baffles me to why Mr. Darcy is so attractive. What is it that makes Mr. Darcy so attractive?

Well, I have come up with a small list as to why I think Mr. Darcy is goals! And of course using the 2004 adaption.

1. Mr. Darcy adores his little sister, and is willing to do anything for her!

2. He's quiet, yet there is a mystery to him.

3. He's pretty opinionated, which isn't always a bad thing. His opinions just kind of make him a straight up jerk. Yet, you still love him!

4. He loves hard! Throughout the entire book, we can sense he is in love with Elizabeth, but fails to show her immediately, so he kind of just hides and makes really rude remarks towards her. It's pretty hilarious.

5. He's honest about his feelings, well kind of. To a certain extent...

6. And how can you not love him for his awkward confession to Elizabeth! He basically just says he's so tormented and can't handle his love for her, and then proposes. Way to go Darcy...

7. Regardless of him occasionally being rude, prideful and just a plain pain in the butt, he is still an amazing character most of us have fallen for. His mystery and his kindness lures us back into loving him so much! I mean how can you not love him?

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.
