Men I Love On The TV Screen

Men I Love On The TV Screen
Netflix

Seeing this title, you all probably expect me to write about fictional men from books that I love. But if I talked about my book boyfriends, this list would be way too long. I narrowed my favorite fictional men from the screen, either TV, movies, or Netflix. And, before anyone says anything, yes… some of these men are cartoons. Deal with it.

The Beast/Prince Adam from Beauty and the Beast

If you know me, this should come as no surprise. However, growing up, I don’t think I had a favorite prince. If anyone asked me as a child, I might have said Prince Eric, due to "The Little Mermaid” being my favorite movie. The Beast has become more of an adult crush in recent years, having watched the animated "Beauty and the Beast "film with different eyes, as well as the live-action adaption this past year.

Yes, I acknowledge the Beast has a temper and I can see why people think Belle might have Stockholm Syndrome. But when you compare him to Gaston, he’s a peach. Beast gives Belle a library and enjoys listening to her read. He treats her with the respect she deserves, once she shows him she is not going to take his crap, while Gaston wants her to be his little adoring housewife.

Trevor Belmont from Castlevania

"Castlevania" is an anime series on Netflix based off a video game surrounding Count Dracula. As a disclaimer: I actually did not love "Castlevania," though I did not hate it, either. What I did love was its protagonist, Trevor Belmont. He’s the stereotypical brooding, devil-may-care monster hunter that drinks too much, yet he has good intentions and he even puts his life on the line for people he barely knows. And his voice is literally the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard.

Dr. Beckham on To the Bone

"To the Bone" is a Netflix original movie starring Lily Collins as a 20-year-old girl battling anorexia. Dr. Beckham, played by Keanu Reeves, is the doctor that runs the group home she’s in. In addition to talk therapy, Dr. Beckham uses non-traditional methods in helping his patients, getting phenomenal results. You can tell he genuinely cares for his charges and his career is his passion. It doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the eyes, either.

Dr. Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds

Many of you are probably squealing. Dr. Spencer Reid is a genius FBI agent and super awkward. But he’s sweet and he cares about people. He loves his team like family. He is motivated to do the right thing and he uses his intelligence to bring justice to criminals. He is good to his mother without being too much of a Momma’s Boy. Plus, he’s totally adorable. How can you "not "want this?

Samurai Jack from Samurai Jack

""

I had completely forgotten about the noble, polite warrior from one of my favorite classic Cartoon Network shows until my dad found the DVDs in the basement. We’ve been re-watching the whole "Samurai Jack "series this past week. I completely forgot how "good "this show actually was. And, of course, how hot the samurai is for a cartoon character.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
