21 Times I Fell In Love With "Gallavich" On Shameless

I am obsessed with Showtime's "Shameless." Along with basically everybody else right now.

I love every character in this show. However, there are two characters that have stolen my heart throughout the series, Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich.

I have never been this emotionally invested in a fictional couple, ever.

They have one of the most touching, dynamic, and unique relationships on television. These two have endured so much individually, but together? They've experienced even more.

They are unlike any other couple on television. Not only are they trying to figure out how to survive their hectic lifestyle on the south side of Chicago, but they are dealing with their internal struggles about being homosexual among other things. Especially Mickey, because of his violent, closed-minded father.

Through it all, they grow so much as individuals and as a couple season to season. Their love story is so compelling and powerful. You cannot help but fall in love with them.

I don't know if it is the way Cameron Monaghan and Noel Fisher have played their roles beautifully or the way their characters constantly give each other sh*t, but they stole my heart scene by scene:


1. In the beginning, Mickey tried to hide his feelings for Ian but they were totally obvious:


2. The first time they went to the baseball field:

3. What happened when Ian went to check on Mickey after his dad caught them:

4. When Ian begged Mickey not to get married:

5. When Mickey finally showed his feelings when Ian told him he was going to the army:

6. After Ian and Mickey get back together, and they go to The White Swallow and Ian tries to kiss Mickey and he looks so uncomfortable:

7. But then they kiss in public for the first time:

8. When Mandy tells Mickey his wife is giving birth and Ian is all:

9. Anytime they give each other sh*t:

10. Seriously, it's my favorite:

11. When Ian gives Mickey an ultimatum at his son's christening:

12. Then they share this moment after Mickey comes out in front of everyone including his father:

13. I mean, come on:

14. When they played house:

15. Anytime they said they loved each other:

16. Then Mickey finds out Ian is bi-polar and tries everything to help him:

17. Their touching goodbye as he gets admitted to the hospital:

18. When they made up after fighting about Ian's medicine at the baseball field, even all beaten and bloody they are still too cute:


19. After season 5 everything is very up and down with these two, so let's just reminisce on their better moments like:


20. And this:


21. And this:



I am not saying it's healthy to beat each other up and live their lifestyle, but I will forever love this relationship.

They get each other, they know each other, they are there for each other, and most importantly, they love each other.

Ian and Mickey may not have a happily ever after when the series is over, but I will forever love this show for creating a love like theirs.

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.
