4 Guys Confess Their Best Attempts At Making Their Girlfriend's Happy
"It led up to my door and she saw everything and you know what happened later on that night."

"It was valentine's day 2018. I couldn't be there with her the day of because it was the middle of the week and we had classes. I came the following weekend.
I have a list on my phone of the things that she loves and wants. I have a list of whatever can make her smile. I got two teddy bears. I got all her favorite candy, snacks and drinks. I also got her a card.
I packed it all in my car and I drove to her campus. When I got there, I had her come out thinking she was helping me bring my stuff upstairs. When she came down, I pull out these two big teddy bears and she was just like *screams*.
She still has them. She named them and I sprayed them with my cologne. Sometimes she'll tell me, "They're starting to not smell like you anymore".
She's a big adventurer and loves to go out. She said before that at some point she wanted to go to Asheville so the next morning we got up and headed towards the Blue Ridge Parkway. I mapped out how to get there and what stops we would make on the way to Asheville. So, while traveling there I put together a playlist for us to listen to all of our favorite music.
It was a wild trip driving to the peak of the mountain, and she enjoyed every bit. It was this GORGEOUS view of nature and mountains and long, deep valleys. It was really beautiful to look over all of the beautiful lands on the way down the parkway.
She's one of those people that if you can show her something new you've found the way to her heart. As I said, I mapped out some stops and one of them was this museum of Native American history as well as a few other places we checked out.
She was just in love with it. I took her to the outlet malls and got her these thigh high boots she's been wanting. We went and got food and took a different way back home.
It was a nice, big adventure. Eventually, I was going back home and she was SO sad because I used to pop up on her and surprise her a lot our freshman year with her snacks and everything. Me being romantic was just me introducing her to new stuff and showering her with the things she loves."

"Valentine's day, my girlfriend was at home. I ordered wings and a burger because I know she likes burgers. I set up these strobe lights that led up to my door all the way to my apartment room and it led to the door. I had rose petals shaped into a heart with chocolate in the middle of it and food on the outside of it and love music playing in the background.
When I got to her house, I blindfolded and drove her to my place and I had her try to find where my apartment was and once she got to the door I took off the blindfold. I let her walk up to where my room was and every step had a note of everything that I loved and liked about her.
I wrote things like "you are beautiful, you're very understanding, I love you, you rock my world, you make me happy" and it led up to my door and she saw everything and you know what happened later on that night."

"Okay so when I love, I love hard. I had this one girl. We were together, it wasn't even a whole two years. We connected so well and she was the type if I gave her anything, she would appreciate anything I got her.
This was over the summer, we went on a cruise. She didn't know. I kept telling her she needs to take off a week so we can go out of town. I got us tickets to the Bahamas. It was around my birthday and her birthday was two days after mine so it worked out well.
I told her to take a whole week off and she kept asking why and I had her thinking we were going to Virginia Beach and the whole time I went and got her some clothes. I already knew her size and stuff. I got the stuff she liked to wear.
The day that we left, I covered her eyes and we got to the car and I gave her the envelope and she saw the tickets and broke down crying and was like "why would you do this?" and I said, "this is just how much I love you".
The trip was good. We had a lot of fun. We went shopping for a little bit. Basically, I paid for everything and I wanted her to just enjoy herself because she works really hard and I just wanted her to know she was appreciated."

"I was working 40-60 hr days normally. My girlfriend didn't see me a lot or pretty much at all. One night when an event cut short, I drove straight from my event to surprise her. She didn't even know that I was coming and I was on the phone with her asking her like "what Netflix movies you watching tonight?" and She was thinking 'it sure is taking a long time for you to get home'.
I went to the store and got some wine and some food. I asked her what she was eating because it was around 7:30. I pulled up to her house and called her and she didn't answer the phone.
Finally, she answered the phone and I asked her what she was doing and I was like look outside her window and she was like, "*excited girly voice* When did you say you were coming!?". And I brought her a big a** teddy bear. I wanted to be creative and play games with her and stuff."

My 10 Favorite YouTubers
They can all teach you something
I've fallen down into the rabbit hole that is YouTube. Lately, I've been finding the videos on YouTube much more entertaining than anything on Netflix or Hulu. There are so many videos out there about literally everything. Some of my favorite videos are murder mysteries or unsolved crime videos. But I also love watching movie commentaries or anything funny. If you like YouTube as much as I do, I highly recommend checking out these YouTubers.
1. Hailey Reese
Hailey is such a light in this world. Even though she talks about paranormal things which can oftentimes be scary, she always brings light and love to the video. Her videos are so informational and spooky. They're so fun to watch and interesting to think about. She is one of the soul siblings, and you will understand what I mean by that if you watch her channel. Also, you get to be a Reese's Peaces, what a cool name!
2. Kendall Rae
Kendall does a lot of different kinds of videos, but some of my favorite ones that she does are the True Crime videos. Many of the stories are sad or disturbing, but she does a fantastic job of being respectful of the families who lost a loved one as well as the person who is deceased. These stories really bring into perspective how messed up people in this world can be, but at the same time the beauty of our humanity and that there are good people in the world.
3. Dylan Is In Trouble
Ah, Dyan. Where to begin. He does a lot of movie commentaries. He has done commentaries on everything from kids movies, rom-coms, horror, and thriller. He apparently went to film school and so he actually analyzes the movies in a critical way. He always points out plot holes and cliches and makes it so entertaining to watch. He also shows the movie as he's watching it, so it's like you get to watch it without actually spending the hour and a half watching it. He's so entertaining to watch and makes me laugh every time, even if it's a serious movie. One of my favorite things is that he calls his followers "troublemakers" and as someone who rarely ever gets into trouble, I like it.
4. Jon Solo
If you're someone who loves Disney movies and fairytales, this channel is for you. Jon goes into the origin stories of various Disney movies, heroes, villains, and other fairytale creatures. It's amazing the amount of research he does in order to find and explain the origins of some of our favorite characters.
5. tiffanyferg
I'm a bit new to her channel, but she covers a range of topics that I think are very important. She talks about beauty standards, the college scandal, minimalism, mental health, and college struggles. As someone who is finishing college and still learning about myself, I really appreciate her analysis of these topics and the advice that she gives.
6. Brandi TV
Brandi is too funny. While I don't condone doing drugs, she does really funny "makeup" tutorials. I feel like I always cry from laughing so hard. One of my favorites is when she does a makeup tutorial for Ursula from the Little Mermaid. So funny. She is such a sweetheart and a pure soul.
7. Loey Lane
Loey is another light in this world. She talks about paranormal things, reads scary viral stories, body positivity, and her own personal experiences. Her makeup is always on point and brings so much light to sometimes dark topics. She is one of the soul siblings too!
8. The Try Guys
Do I even have to give an explanation for these guys? They try everything, and it's hilarious to watch them. My favorite series of theirs is when Keith eats everything on the menu from different fast food places. And they don't waste the food so that's a plus!
9. Alex Myers
Alex is another great YouTuber who does movie and Tv show commentaries, but he animates himself and his dog into the videos. It's very interesting to see, especially because sometimes he will talk about his own personal experiences and its very relatable. Also, his dog is super cute!
10. AndrewTMI
Last but not least, we have Andrew. I love how totally open and honest he is. He is very relatable and honestly hilarious. He is dramatic and that just makes his channel so entertaining. He is the last member of the soul siblings. When Hailey, Loey, and Andrew are together some real spooky stuff happens and it's some of the most entertaining videos to watch.
If you haven't heard of any of these YouTubers, please check them out. They are so great at entertaining and presenting facts. Even though I haven't met any of them, they all seem like really great, genuine people.
