Why You Should Always Go For The Emotional Guy

I realize that my love life wasn't written by Nicholas Sparks.

Why You Should Always Go For The Emotional Guy
Total Sorority Move

“No guy will ever love me this much” my friend murmurs as she analyzes a Twitter video displaying a scrapbook full of sweet, yet totally cheesy, photographs of a couple that a very impassioned boyfriend made for a super fortunate girl.

Now, to put this Twitter personality on a pedestal and compare him to every other average boyfriend isn’t necessarily fair. However, what also isn’t fair is my other friends' responses to the video, commenting that “Twitter boy” is way too emotional, and she in no way finds his obsession over his girlfriend attractive. Considering the uttermost romance us girls are exposed to nowadays is two heart-eyed emojis commented under our selfie, or even complimenting our highlighter (but most importantly knowing what highlighter is), it is hard to distinguish between adoration and delusion.

It is such a novel concept to the majority of girls that when a guy is open to showing his more vulnerable side, he is in fact not a “pussy.” He is simply just emotional. I for one find myself to be smitten over a boy who will race me to a door to hold it for me, is a fan of the long “goodnight text messages” and, believe it or not, actually likes talking about his feelings. This is what I am attracted to, as sometimes you may have to put in a little more effort than normal to spare his feelings. He is genuine and that is something so hard to come by.

The emotional boy is always pushing himself to remember the small details; what outfit you wore to dinner last week, the song lyric you sang just a little bit louder than the rest of the song, or even remembers the cute pose you wanted to do for your Instagram photo. The emotional guy is flawlessly selfless and so beautifully compassionate.

So ladies, be open-minded to the nice guy. Accept him for his giving nature and don’t think twice about it. If even after considering all of this the emotional guy isn’t for you, fine; more nice guys for me!

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.

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.
