A Criminal Captured My Heart

Why I love Matt Bomer, and why you should too.

I recently started watching the wonderful series “White Collar” and fell in love once again, with Matt Bomer. You could say that it was love at first con. I had seen episodes of “White Collar” in the past but never in consecutive order. Here is a list of reasons why I love Matt Bomer’s character Neil Caffrey, an art thief who struck a deal with the FBI to work as a criminal informant under his "handler," Special Agent Peter Burke.

1. The man can wear a suit.

The first thing that you may notice, if you weren’t immediately transfixed by his beautiful blue eyes, is how the man can wear a suit. No matter what the job, he always looks his best.

2. His vast knowledge of all things art history.

Neil is a walking history book. He is an expert on all things art. Whether it is new or old, Neil can tell you who the artist is, the time period, the meaning of the piece — and can even reproduce a fake that can trick even the best of art enthusiasts. Neil is an art thief, and he always somehow ties in his knowledge into every case.

3. Peter and Mozzy — his right hand men.

Peter Burke and Mozzie are Neil’s best friends. No matter what the situation or the level of danger, Neil always has their backs, and they offer the same in return. They know pretty much everything about each other and sometimes even freak each other out in the process.

4. Neil’s never-ending passion.

No matter what case he is working, Neil always gives his all, and sometimes it’s a little too much. Cases haunt him, as do memories of people whom he has met along the way. He will stop at nothing to complete a case and put criminals back in jail.

5. He’s a hopeless romantic.

Neil loves love. He is a master of words and a master of wine. He can make any woman fall in love with him, which comes in handy when he is working a case. But he struggles to find real love for himself. Something always comes to light or gets in the way that ruins his chances of finding an everlasting love.

Even though Neil is a criminal, he has a genuine soul and heart. I absolutely fell in love with his character, every aspect of it. Well...maybe not the whole him being a criminal part.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
