How Can You Not Love Mr. Darcy?

Even though he's carried as being prideful, rude and occasionally a jerk, Darcy is still amazing.

How Can You Not Love Mr. Darcy?
Universal Pictures

Ask anyone who has had a literature course, there's a good chance they have read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. This classic story takes on the typical love story, but of course it's Jane Austen, and well she always has to add in the sassy.

But as I begin to re-read Pride and Prejudice, for the fourth time, it still baffles me to why Mr. Darcy is so attractive. What is it that makes Mr. Darcy so attractive?

Well, I have come up with a small list as to why I think Mr. Darcy is goals! And of course using the 2004 adaption.

1. Mr. Darcy adores his little sister, and is willing to do anything for her!

2. He's quiet, yet there is a mystery to him.

3. He's pretty opinionated, which isn't always a bad thing. His opinions just kind of make him a straight up jerk. Yet, you still love him!

4. He loves hard! Throughout the entire book, we can sense he is in love with Elizabeth, but fails to show her immediately, so he kind of just hides and makes really rude remarks towards her. It's pretty hilarious.

5. He's honest about his feelings, well kind of. To a certain extent...

6. And how can you not love him for his awkward confession to Elizabeth! He basically just says he's so tormented and can't handle his love for her, and then proposes. Way to go Darcy...

7. Regardless of him occasionally being rude, prideful and just a plain pain in the butt, he is still an amazing character most of us have fallen for. His mystery and his kindness lures us back into loving him so much! I mean how can you not love him?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
