But really, can I marry him?

Why Spencer Reid Would Make The Best Boyfriend

So, my obsession with Criminal Minds is at an all time high. I know, I'm a little late to the game, but I'm four seasons in and I AM IN LOVE with Dr. Spencer Reid. Yes, Morgan is super attractive, but it's Spencer who has my stolen my heart. In almost every episode I find another reason why Spencer is my favorite.

Here's a list of reasons why Dr. Spencer Reid would be the best boyfriend:

1. He is smart, but not condescending.

Spencer may not be shy when it comes to sharing what he knows, but he humble about it and good at explaining it to other people.

2. He is compassionate.


Spencer goes above and beyond by doing everything he can to get to know someone, make them more comfortable or put a smile on their face. He isn't afraid to let the "tough" facade down on the job.

3. He is just the right amount of awkward.


There is no denying that Spencer is socially awkward, but it's adorable and makes him even more lovable.

4. He is a great listener.

Spencer has a way of listening to people rather than just hearing them speak. He can tell when someone is upset, and always offers an open ear.

5. He is brave.

It's no secret that Dr. Reid has demons of his own, but he uses his past and sometimes depressed mind to understand and empathize with others.

6. He respects women.

Notice, he didn't say "hot," or "sexy," he said "beautiful," and then continued to say that looks aren't everything.

7. He see's things in new and different ways than everyone who has looked at them before.

Spencer isn't willing to give up at the first dead end. Even when everyone else has given up, he keeps rethinking it until he reaches a new conclusion.

8. He is adorable.

Nothing pulled at my heart strings more than when JJ told Dr. Reid he was the godfather of her son Henry.

9. Beyond being smart, he is wise.


Despite being the youngest member on the BAU, he is sometimes the wisest and always knows what to say.

10. He isn't afraid to be himself.


His entire life, Spencer was made fun of for being different, but he didn't let that stop him from being himself and doing what he loves.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who absolutely loves Dr. Spencer Reid. If you need me, I'll be binge-watching "Criminal Minds."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
