8 Reasons To Date A Nerd
Giphy

Nerds have been considered as, up until recently, very undesirable people. Contrary to this idea, I've found them to be among the most loving, understanding and desirable people on this earth. Here's eight reasons why you should always choose the nerd:

1. They worship you.

Dating the nerd is a different experience because they aren't like the players. They haven't been trained to get only one thing from a girl. If the nerd is with you, he's there because he likes you on the inside, and that shows.

2. They're thoughtful.

He's going to think of every detail. Dating a nerd is a nice change because he'll think before he acts. Nerds are analytical, they can sense how you're feeling and anticipate how to resolve it for you.

3. They're fun.

The good nerds spend a lot of their time playing video games and watching movies. Dating the nerd gives you the best of both worlds because you have an adult man who plays no games, but who also enables you to reminisce in your childhood.

4. They love wholeheartedly.

Basically every video game or movie with any real story line involves romance. Nerds don't need to get around your entire school to know how to treat you right, because they've been learning about real love their whole lives.

5. They text back.

It might take ten minutes for his League of Legends match to be over, but you won't be competing with 20 other girls for his attention on a Saturday night.

6. They're hilarious.

Dating a nerd is never dull. Their jokes are usually pretty vulgar, and you might get sick of the endless references to internet memes and Claptrap from Borderlands, but you wont be bored.

7. They're great cooks.

Nerds were the unintentional inventors of hangover food. From a young age, they stayed up all night playing video games, and without their parents to make them something to eat at 3 a.m., they had to get creative. A nerd is someone who will never cook you something healthy, but who really cares?

8. They're underdogs.

Everyone loves a good underdog story, right? Nerds are the ones who society tells us are undesirable, but when they becomes successful- that completely reverses. It's extremely wrong to overlook someone their entire life until they're deemed desirable by society's standards.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
