We All Need A Jesse Mariano

Sep 29, 2015

Jess stole our hearts the moment he appeared on Stars Hallows. He had the bad boy vibe we all like, and that made us want to be with him. Then, some time went by and we realize how Jesse is the guy we actually never want to date, but oh boy how much we want to date him. While watching Gilmore Girls after a break-up, I realize we should have the experience of dating someone like Jess Mariano at least once in our lives.

I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. Jess is a guy who didn’t know how to treat people well. He had a really bad temper, he didn’t respect people’s time and he was really rude. Just look at him when he first met Emily Gilmore. Granted, you need a valium –or two- whenever you are around that woman but Jess was a complete asshole when he visited her.

He was always getting into fights and he was not going to graduate from high school because he decided to skip classes so he can work on Walmart. He acted really aggressively when Rory didn’t want to sleep with him –in a party- and left for California without saying bye to his girlfriend. He was the worst –but better looking- boyfriend ever.

So why I say we all need to date someone like him? I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, that everything you go through is either a blessing or a lesson. I believe dating someone like Jess is necessary for the experience it gives you. To understand that sometimes the heart wants something, but it is important to put ourselves first and know what we truly deserve. I’m not saying that you deserve a guy who will cross the world to see you just for a day (well, maybe you do) but you sure deserve a guy who will call you when he is running late or when he can’t make it to your date. You deserve a guy who will put you first and will want you to be happy. You deserve a guy who will apologize after screaming at you because he had a crappy day. You deserve happiness

Dating a Jess can be painful and the breakup even worst. But everything is part of the knowledge that something better will come along, and that staying with a Jess is not the right choice. Sometimes you have to let your brain win over your heart, and stop living in a relationship just because of love, and not because of happiness.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
