What You Should Know Before Dating A Hopeless Romantic

You know the type: favorite movie is by far The Notebook, and dreams someone will sing us our favorite love songs. I am only slightly ashamed to admit that I am a hopeless romantic. I mean as I write this, I am listening to country love songs, melting at every sweet verse. We are somewhat displaced from reality because at a young age we fell in love with the effortless, perfect, Disney kind of love and we have our hearts dead set on finding it. For this reason, we can be especially hard to date because we will constantly wonder if the other person feels the same way towards us. We are always questioning everything because we sometimes don't realize that other people don't have the same love language as us. They don't express their love through cute songs and quotes, and sometimes we can be super annoying or come on too strong. We can't help it, though; when we love, we give it our all. We are typically idealists who believe that the head-over-heels, Noah and Allie love is completely possible. With that said, there are angels on this Earth who know exactly how to deal with us, and for that, we thank you endlessly. Here are some things you should know before falling in love with a hopeless romantic:

1. The quickest way to our hearts is a cute song.

If you tell a hopeless romantic a song that reminds you of them, they will literally be the happiest person on the planet. It feels good to put your love story to music.

2. Please try to suffer through the rom-coms.

Yes, we know this is the tenth time we've watched A Walk to Remember but please realize how happy it makes us. Also, be prepared because we cry at the most random, adorable parts of all movies.

3. Draw us a picture, pick us a dandelion, or send us a quote.

It's truly the little things that get to us. We don't expect extravagant dates or crazy gifts, just show us you care in little ways throughout the day. You'll never know how quickly that can make our day.

4. Tell us when we're being crazy.

We heavily rely on you to keep our feet on the ground. When we are on spending way too much time on Pinterest and we're already planning our dream house, please remind us that we need to relax. Think Leslie Knope on a parks project: that's our brains 24/7, always dreaming of how to make the world and our lives better. Be our Ben Wyatt.

5. We're going to love you more than you thought possible.

We can be too much for many people. If you can't handle it, it's not your fault, because many can't. At least try to realize it early, because once we fall in love, we fall hard.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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."
