In The Age Of Dating Apps These 15 TV Couples Make Me Believe That True Love Still Exists

While these characters may be fiction, their love stories provide real life relationship goals and remind me never to settle for anyone less than perfect.


1. Nathan and Haley: "One Tree Hill"

Nathan and Haley are easily my favorite couple of all time. While some aspects of their relationship are totally unrealistic (getting married as juniors in high school), they do showcase a strong relationship. Considering the fact they got married in high school they went through a lot change while being together. They show us that some time apart is healthy, chasing your dreams is just as important as being together, and that in the end if you love someone you can get through anything together.

2. Drew and Rick: "The Night Shift"

78.media.tumblr.com

Drew and Rick are honestly one of the cutest TV couple of all time. They both support each other through everything. When Rick lost half his leg due to an accident, Drew was there every step of the way through recovery. When Rick was offered his dream job training military members in North Carolina, he turned it down because being with Drew was far more important. When Drew was going to turn down going to Ranger school to be with his family Rick convinced him to go, because he didn't want to stand in the way of Drew's dreams. Also they are amazing parents to their adoptive daughter. The sacrifices they make for each other and the constant support they give each other melts my heart.

3. Cory and Topanga: "Boy Meets World"

78.media.tumblr.com

Cory and Topanga were one of the first couples on this list that left a imprint on my heart. They went from sweet puppy love to high school sweethearts to a wonderful married couple. Topanga literally gave up going to Yale for Cory. . . Yale. That is crazy. Goes to show how important love is.

4. Zoe and Wade: "Hart of Dixie"

78.media.tumblr.com

While this relationship had a lot of problems, there are a lot of reasons to look up to this dysfunctional yet functional union. Zoe had this idea in her head of the "perfect" guy. In her mind she was supposed to be with someone who had a noble career like a lawyer or a doctor or even a best selling novelist. This idea she had prevented her from realizing that she loved Wade. he was the complete opposite of everything she was looking for. I mean how could a New York City doctor fall in love with a small town Alabama bartender? But after she realized that her idea of perfect wasn't actually what she needed, she realized that everything she wanted was right in front of her the whole time in Wade. I think this is an amazing thing to take away from this couple, because often times I don't give people a chance just because they aren't my idea of perfect. I'm trying to change, and I have Zoe and Wade to thank for that.

5. Coach Eric Taylor and Tami: "Friday Night Lights"

78.media.tumblr.com

Tami and Eric demonstrate good communication and teamwork. Although Tami sacrifices a lot for Eric's coaching career he makes sure to let her know that he appreciates her, respects her, and loves her. The Taylor's show how a good love can last and what characteristics make a good marriage work.

6. Brooke and Julian: "One Tree Hill"

78.media.tumblr.com

Brooke Davis went through so much crap before finally landing the guy of her dreams and having her life come together exactly how she pictured it. Julian is a complete dork, who loves Brooke like no one else ever has. he treats her like a queen and loves everything about her. I honestly think he is the first guy to ever respect Brooke. Brooke and Julian are perfect for each other and show that the love of your life is worth the wait and you should never settle for a man who doesn't respect you.

7. Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky: "Full House"

78.media.tumblr.com

If you don't think Jesse and Becky are relationship goals, we can't be friends.

8. Jim and Pam: "The Office"

78.media.tumblr.com

I cried over their wedding scene for approximately an hour. It was perfect and wonderful and made me realize you don't need a big over the top perfect wedding because the only thing that really matters is the fact that you are marrying the love of your life.

9. Meredith and Derek: "Grey's Anatomy"

78.media.tumblr.com

Their relationship was so dramatic, but also so perfect. Between Meredith's declaration of love to Derek while he was still married to Addison, the post it note and the drawing of the brain tumor on the wall there are so many moment where I fell in love with Meredith and Derek's relationship.

10. DJ and Steve: "Full House/Fuller House"

78.media.tumblr.com

They were cute in high school and they are even cuter now. Steve and DJ were meant to be since the Full House days and it has been fun watching them reconnect on Fuller House. They are another couple that shows that sometimes you ahve to wait for love.

11. Monica and Chandler: "Friends"

78.media.tumblr.com

Monica is kind of crazy and uptight while Chandler is hilarious and pretty easy going. At first glance you wouldn't think this pair would work, but they show that sometimes opposites attract!

12. Colt and Abby: "The Ranch"

pbs.twimg.com

Abby and Colt encounter a lot of problems together, but in the end the only thing that matters to them is each other. Abby's smarts balances out the fact that Colt is the dumbest human being alive. Abby's patience for Colt balances out the fact that he is reckless. Basically what I am getting at is that they complement each other nicely and their relationship shows that love can get you through the low points and life and amplifies the high points.

13. Alex and Jo: "Grey's Anatomy"

78.media.tumblr.com

Both characters had a rough life before becoming doctors. They understand each other like no one else could and always give each other a shoulder to lean on. Even though sometimes their similarities can lead to problems in the relationship their love always brings them back to each other. Alex and Jo are the definition of a strong support system and the way they care for each other makes my heart flutter.

14. Luke and Lorelai: "Gilmore Girls"

78.media.tumblr.com

First, they had a really cute friendship, then they had an even cuter relationship. No matter what Luke was always there for Lorelai. He understood her quirky ways like no one else (besides maybe Rory) could. In the end, if Lorelai ended up with anyone but Luke she would have been settling.

15. Amelia and Owen: "Grey's Anatomy"

tribzap2it.files.wordpress.com

A lot of people don't like Amelia and Owen together and I just don't get it. They always help each other when times are tough. Whether it is Owen being their for Amelia when she had brain surgery or Amelia helping Owen raise a baby he adopted. Even when they are not a couple they are there for each other and I think that matters. They have a lot of love and respect for each other and if they don't end up together love on Grey's Anatomy is dead.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
