If you're familiar with Odyssey, you probably know the article that when viral in 2015, "Why Girls Love The Dad Bod." But during this Christmas season, instead of going for the Dad Bod, why not go big with the Santa Bod?

Everyone knows at least someone with a Santa Bod, you know... the body that says, "My favorite type of exercise is eating my weight in sweets." This guy is definitely the kind of guy we all want for MANY reasons.

His personality is not overshadowed by his body

We all know those guys, the ones who are generally sweet and interesting but you have a hard time listening to a word he's saying because you're distracted by his chocolate brown eyes and a perfectly tanned six-pack. You will know immediately whether or not you love his personality because you aren't distracted by superficial things.

It takes the pressure off of you

Let's be honest, there aren't very many people in this world that enjoy spending 12 hours a week in the gym or ordering only salad when going out for dinner, but most people will at least attempt to do these things anyway, in an attempt to keep their bodies in tip-top shape. If you date a guy with a Santa Bod, it takes the pressure off of you to always look perfect.

He's a foodie, just like you

One thing that all humans have in common is food. No matter what country you're from, what religion or political party or anything else that you are, we all love to eat different types of food. If you get yourself a man with a Santa Bod, he will most likely be a foodie. This is good news for you, especially if you aren't a picky eater. He will love to experiment with Thai, sushi, New American, Mexican, Italian and anything else you could want but he will also never be opposed to staying in and ordering two large, everything, pizzas. What more could a girl want in a guy than a partner who will travel the world to eat with her?

He's a better cuddler

Sure the Dad Bod offers good cuddling, but the Santa Bod offers great cuddling. You have your very own pillow built into a boyfriend.

You know exactly what you're getting

Ten years from now when you have three kids, your own careers and yearly visits with the in-laws you don't have to worry about your now 30-year-old husband letting himself go. You know that you loved his personality, lifestyle, etc from the beginning, so you don't have to worry about your slightly chubby hubby, you'll love him forever anyway.

So sure, the Dad Bod is a somewhat desirable body type, but don't sell yourself short. This holiday season, get yourself a loving, boyfriend with a Santa Bod.

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
