It might be cliche, but I don't know a girl in the world who doesn't love receiving a bouquet of fresh flowers. [now's probably the time where you're thinking you need to copy and paste this link and forward it to your special someone and i say.... do it!!!]

So I'm here to help all you guys out and let you know how to do this flower thing perfectly. I know it can be overwhelming because you walk into a flower shop or a grocery store and are utterly overwhelmed with the amount of different flowers and different colors. Any girl would probably love any gift you picked out, but here's some tips to get the most out of your flower buying experience and make you girl's heart leap with happiness.

1. The type of flower is so important. Yes, roses are cliche and probably only not cliche on Valentines Day, just being honest.

Here's 4 types of flowers/greenery that are rare gems to find but oh so beautiful. You don't want your girl to feel like you bought the same bouquet as every other guy, so here's some types to buy to really shake the game up.

1.Peonies

2. Ranunculus

3. Eucalyptus [now maybe don't get her a bouquet just of Eucalyptus, but this greenery can make any flower look so dreamy]

4. Sunflowers-- it seems like recently the male species has definitely caught onto this trend so claps for you dudes!!!!

2. Take her to pick out the flowers. If you live in a big city, chances are there are actual flower shops new year. AND if you're lucky enough to stand in Nashville PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD, take that beautiful girl to Amelia's Flower Truck. And hey, you don't even have to worry about picking out the right flower, because she gets to do it right there.

^THAT is what dreams are made of [well, mine at least].

3. No matter the size, brand, or type of the bouquet... wrap that sucka in some kraft paper!!! It can make your bouquet go from drab to fab in one easy step!!! And it definitely makes it Instagram worthy 😉

4. Flowers aren't just for Valentine's day or Prom-posals, a girl loves fresh flowers sitting in her house or dorm room anytime. And hey, every time she sees them she'll smile and think of you, and you can't really go wrong there.

Hope this little bit of info about the world of flowers and "woo-ing" your special someone helped. Go get 'em, dudes.

Don't have a special someone? Find someone you love, a roommate, a co-worker, or a friend and let's do something special for them just because.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
