Valentine’s Day may have already passed but romance is still in the air. For the single girls who watched their roommates get ready for dates and saw their presents piling up while you sat alone watching Netflix, here are some movies with the best guys to get you through the post love fest funk. This is a compilation of the most swoon worthy movie characters of all time.

1. Austin Ames, A Cinderella Story

Nomad609 may start out kind of boring and predictable, but if you weren’t forever replaying that kiss in the rain, you watched this movie wrong. He is the “ideal” high school boyfriend and with good looks to boot.

2. Tom Lefroy, Becoming Jane

For anyone else obsessed with the world of Jane Austen, you’ll understand why James McAvoy’s portrayal of Tom Lefroy could sweep any girl off their feet. He can’t be with the girl he loves, in a time period in which being with her will affect not just them but their families too, and still does everything in his power to be with her. That’s not something you can find in real life and what makes him all the more loveable.

3. Johnny Castle, Dirty Dancing

Nobody puts baby in corner and no one, I mean no one, could forget Patrick Swayze dancing his way into Frances “Baby” Houseman’s heart. His character proved that love is strange and you can’t control the circumstances in which you find it. He also taught us that we should all choreograph our own lift with our very own boyfriend.

4. Jacob Palmer, Crazy Stupid Love

Refer to the lift scene above as explanation for why this character must be talked about. His abs, his clothes and his charm were plenty, but adding in his go-to move and it’s all over. Watching him flirt incessantly with women throughout the entire movie, particularly with Emma Stone’s character it’s hard to imagine any guy being that smooth, which honestly is part of his allure.

5. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, Top Gun

He’ll take your breath away from the minute he serenades Charlotte “Charlie” Blackwood with the help of his fellow pilots. Though he comes off as cocky and a bit of a rule breaker that actually makes him all the more appealing. Did I mention it’s Tom Cruise?

6. Andrew Paxton, The Proposal

Every time he opens his mouth you like him even more. Andrew may be pushed around by his boss to the point that he loses the respect of his own father, but he still keeps his cool and manages to show kindness to the woman who has made his life a living hell. That and the witty banter he shares with his boss/fiancé/enemy, Margaret Tate, make him pretty much the perfect boyfriend. If only we all could have the unfortunate luck of getting into a fake engagement with him.

7. Jack Dawson, Titanic

Leonardo DiCaprio. Need I say more? Another character that risks everything for a girl. He’s playful, smart, handsome and basically perfect if we’re being honest. Though the film is a tragic love story that makes each and everyone us cry even the 20th time watching, whenever he’s on screen you can’t help but smile.

8. Patrick Verona, 10 Things I Hate About You

He’s Australian, he’s a bad boy and he effortlessly pulls off his off-key version of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”. The accent is enough to earn him a spot, but its his effect on Kat Stratford and his clever comebacks that really seals the deal.

9. Noah Calhoun, The Notebook

The is the second appearance of Ryan Gosling on this list, and for good reason. I mean, come on, he wrote Allie 365 letters without a response and pined for her for most of his adult life. It doesn’t get much more romantic than that. His innocence when he first meets his love and his devotion to getting her back are so pure, they're almost hard to imagine being qualities in a real life person.

Now that you’ve got a few to choose from, ignore your homework, sit down with some popcorn and brag to all your friends that are coupled up that you don’t have to compromise on what movie to watch, one of the many advantages of being single.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
