Blake Horstmann From 'The Bachelorette' Is PRIME Husband Material Over Season 14 Winner Garrett Yrigoyen

From the moment Bachelor Nation met Blake Horstmann, we had fallen head over heels in love. From the beginning, we could tell that he was a genuine guy who was funny and was willing to pull out all the stops (and all the animals) necessary to win Becca Kurfin's heart. As season 14 of "The Bachelorette" progressed, just like Becca, we became more attached and found more reasons to fall in love with him. But at the end of things, Becca didn't do the damn thing with Blake.

Naturally, being a Bake fan, I was heartbroken, baffled, and just straight up mad. I couldn't comprehend why Becca wouldn't want to spend the rest of her life with a man as wonderful as Blake. While yes her current fiance, Garrett Yrigoyen, does have redeemable qualities, they don't compare to Blake's in my eyes. Sorry Garrett fans but I think that Blake is the ultimate and most prime example of "husband material."

1. He says the sweetest things about his love interest.

From day one, Blake had nothing but the kindest and sweetest of things to say about Becca. Not only would he say these things to the camera during his interviews but he would also say them DIRECTLY to Becca! That is the key component! He was her number one fan, best hype man, and biggest supporter throughout the process and that's exactly the type of life companion every woman dreams of having.

2. He is down for anything.

This season, there were many group dates, one-on-one dates, as well as two-on-one dates. Activities would range from a game of flag football to a spa day to competing in a lumberjack contest. Whatever date activities were thrown at him, Blake was 110% down to participate and make the most of his time with Becca and the other men. Because of this, I believe that no matter how his future girlfriend, wife, or random one-time date wants to spend time with him he will be ready and willing just because he gets to spend quality time with her.

3. He is not afraid to be a total goofball.

Blake seems to show his true colors at all times which is something all women want their man to do. The GIF above showcases Becca and Blake's first one-on-one date in which they destroyed pictures, television screens, and many other objects that had the face of the previous Bachelor, who is also Becca's ex-fiance, plastered all over them. Blake embraced the date and continued to throw feathers, buckets of paint, and pop bottles of champagne all over the remains of Becca's dreaded ex-fiance. Blake is comfortable with being his goofy self around Becca which means that he will have no issues doing the same for the future lady in his life.

4. HE! IS! SO! HANDSOME!!!!

I'm just going to say it because I know everyone is thinking it. How can you not be instantly swooned after getting a glimpse of him?!

5. He is so devoted.

Throughout the season, there were men that showed questionable intentions and unreliability. Blake never once showed an unwavering personality trait. Everything he did was for Becca's benefit. Everything he said was in favor of his and Becca's relationship. Even if you're one of those people that believes "The Bachelorette" or "The Bachelor" is all fake and a hoax, it has to take a lot of dedication to make America believe that one is THAT devoted to another individual. So if Blake can "fake" his devotion to Becca for the cameras, how devoted do you think he will be to his future wife when his love life isn't being televised?

6. He is just the right amount of a cheesy romantic.

This video clip shows the first time Becca and Bachelor Nation met Blake. He started off strong by showing his promising qualities from the getgo with the incredibly sweet gesture he made for Becca with his horse, Bradley. Small gestures and things he said kept this quality alive throughout the season but I don't think anyone was prepared for him to present Becca with the time capsule he had given her on their final date. Inside, he included images that represented his favorite memories and milestones with her.

These memories included the song he wrote for her on a group date, a journal entry that he wrote the moment he knew he was in love with her and pictures of them at various landmarks they had seen around the world on their travels together. While some may see this as cheesy, I find this to be incredibly sweet because it shows that with every advance he made with Becca, he had SO much thought behind everything he did. So if he can do that much for her, I can't imagine the things he will do for the woman that eventually becomes his wife.

7. The look on his face when he sees Becca for the first time in each episode melts my heart.

With every interaction with her since their first, his smile grew wider and the hugs became tighter. Every woman dreams of having their man look at them like they are the most beautiful human on the earth and Blake does just that.

8. He is so genuine.

During the season 14 finale, Becca said, "He has always been so open and vulnerable and I've never had that in past relationships" and I think that speaks wonders about Blake as a person. Although Becca chose to marry Garrett, she was still able to recognize the things that made Blake so attractive and why she was falling in love with him. There was never once a doubt in my mind that he was doing this all for publicity, attention, or any of the wrong reasons. With that being said, I'm not worried that Blake will die alone because he is a prime candidate to help fulfill any of your relationship goals.

On a final note, I'd love to give a HUGE thank you to my girl Becca for putting one hell of a man back on the market! The female population greatly appreciates it!

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
