Why Dr. Spencer Reid Is The Man Of My Dreams
buzzfed.com

Dr. Spencer Reid is everyone's favorite crime-fighting super genius from the highly popular CBS show, Criminal Minds. Actor Matthew Gray Gubler's portrayal of this adorable FBI agent has won over the hearts of everyone who watches the show and it's often hard to remember that Dr. Spencer Reid isn't a real person, unfortunately.

He's cute, he's nerdy, he's sensitive, he has a lactose issue---he's the full package. If you didn't know who this little cupcake was before reading this article, allow me to educate you. I'm not saying that I'm judging you for not watching Criminal Minds, but I am in fact judging you for not watching Criminal Minds. Let me fill you in with a list of the things that make him perfect:

1. His hair.

Over the last 10 seasons of Criminal Minds, Dr. Reid's hair has gone from long, to short, to curly, to straight, and every single way it's been styled has been #flawless. Every season, it looks different; and every season, I'm not mad about it. Anyone else want to run their hands through those locks? No? Just me? Alright.



2. His glasses.

Dr. Reid doesn't always wear glasses, but when he does, he looks like the nerd of my dreams. He serves a real Clark Kent, "I will save you with my intellect" look. It speaks to me. He also dabbles in the art of sunglass wearing. Inspirational stuff, really.


3. His brain.

It's no secret that Reid is the smartest member of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He has an eidetic memory which allows him to recall anything and everything he's ever heard, seen, smelled, read, or touched in seconds. He is more often than not the one that solves the cases.

I have one case I'd like him to solve... (Not sure where I was going with that but, you get the idea.)


4. His bravery.

Reid doesn't only save the day with his smarts, he also saves it with is guts. There are so many times that he risks his life for those of his teammates and the victims he is trying to save. He even saves the criminals sometimes! Every girl loves a man in a bullet proof vest, am I right, ladies?


5. His heart.

The best part of Dr. Reid is his capacity to love and care for everyone and everything. He genuinely cares about the agents on his team and he puts his heart into every case he has. Sometimes, he can't help but become attached to certain victims and cases, and if things don't go according to plan, he gets his heart broken. And, let me tell you, when Dr. Reid cries, the whole world cries.

Disclaimer: I promise I know he's not real, but a girl can dream, right?


I bet you wish he was real too. You've got a real winner here, CBS. Don't you dare kill him off. Or send him away. Or do anything except give him more screen time because the world needs it. The world needs Dr. Spencer Reid.

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.
