10 Times 'Jane The Virgin' Fans Realized They Were #TeamMichael

Rafael, you're great — just not for Jane.

10 Times 'Jane The Virgin' Fans Realized They Were #TeamMichael

Anyone who knows me and my love for Netflix knows that my love for "Jane the Virgin" runs deep.

What might possibly run deeper is my passion for #TeamMichael.

Michael Cordero is easily my favorite character on the show and the best partner for Jane. (Don't get me wrong, though, I do like Rafael — just not as Jane's partner).

When he died in season three, I might have been as heartbroken as Jane. So, here are the 10 moments that made me #TeamMichael for life, listed in order of importance.

1. When he saved Mateo from Sin Rostro

Giphy

Look. There was no part of Michael that was obligated to save Mateo when Rose kidnapped him after he was born. Jane just had Rafael's baby, who Michael eventually accepted (although he was not enthralled), and it was a confusing and emotional experience for everyone involved.

But when he brought out Mateo from the church and post-birth Jane waddled toward them, my heart melted

2. When he surprised Jane by saying his wedding vows in Spanish

Giphy

Jane's heritage and bilingual nature is extremely important, so when Michael went the extra mile and memorized the vows in Spanish, everyone was crying. I don't cry over fictional things, but I was crying for sure.

3. When he secretly looked out for Jane after they broke up

Giphy

Everyone knows that neither one of them actually wanted to separate, but with the Sin Rostro case going strong and the aftermath of Mateo's kidnapping, Michael made sure Jane was safe, always.

4. When he saved Alba from being deported

Giphy

Michael became extremely attached to Jane's family because, let's be honest, they're pretty amazing. When they found out that Alba was possibly about to be deported, Michael stepped in and saved her.

5. When he proposed to Jane the second time

Giphy

The first time was when Michael found out that Jane wanted to keep the baby, so that obviously did not go very well. But the second time, Jane didn't even let him finish. I think that this moment really showed how ridiculous her love was for him.

6. When he defended Jane and Mateo to his parents

Giphy

As I said about the kidnapping, Michael had no obligations to love Mateo as much as he does, but he became attached and essentially took him in as his own. His parents insensitively asked about looking after "someone else's kid," but Michael stood up to them and told them that Mateo wasn't just someone else's kid. Go, Michael!

7. When the bromance began with Rogelio

Giphy

I can't choose a specific moment with these two because every moment between them is noteworthy. At first, Michael was not open to having a strong friendship with Ro. But once they broke the ice, their bromance was unstoppable.

8. When they kissed the first time

Giphy

The first kiss was basically everything Jane wanted and more, but it was also the moment that everyone realized that this cop who came over on a noise complaint was going to stick around for a while.

9. When they had their reunion kiss

Giphy

Snow actually fell in Miami. That's how perfect these two are for each other.

10. When he came back.

Giphy

This isn't my least favorite. I just wanted to save it until the end. My heart actually stopped.

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.
