Why Dr. Spencer Reid Is The Man Of My Dreams
buzzfed.com

Dr. Spencer Reid is everyone's favorite crime-fighting super genius from the highly popular CBS show, Criminal Minds. Actor Matthew Gray Gubler's portrayal of this adorable FBI agent has won over the hearts of everyone who watches the show and it's often hard to remember that Dr. Spencer Reid isn't a real person, unfortunately.

He's cute, he's nerdy, he's sensitive, he has a lactose issue---he's the full package. If you didn't know who this little cupcake was before reading this article, allow me to educate you. I'm not saying that I'm judging you for not watching Criminal Minds, but I am in fact judging you for not watching Criminal Minds. Let me fill you in with a list of the things that make him perfect:

1. His hair.

Over the last 10 seasons of Criminal Minds, Dr. Reid's hair has gone from long, to short, to curly, to straight, and every single way it's been styled has been #flawless. Every season, it looks different; and every season, I'm not mad about it. Anyone else want to run their hands through those locks? No? Just me? Alright.



2. His glasses.

Dr. Reid doesn't always wear glasses, but when he does, he looks like the nerd of my dreams. He serves a real Clark Kent, "I will save you with my intellect" look. It speaks to me. He also dabbles in the art of sunglass wearing. Inspirational stuff, really.


3. His brain.

It's no secret that Reid is the smartest member of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. He has an eidetic memory which allows him to recall anything and everything he's ever heard, seen, smelled, read, or touched in seconds. He is more often than not the one that solves the cases.

I have one case I'd like him to solve... (Not sure where I was going with that but, you get the idea.)


4. His bravery.

Reid doesn't only save the day with his smarts, he also saves it with is guts. There are so many times that he risks his life for those of his teammates and the victims he is trying to save. He even saves the criminals sometimes! Every girl loves a man in a bullet proof vest, am I right, ladies?


5. His heart.

The best part of Dr. Reid is his capacity to love and care for everyone and everything. He genuinely cares about the agents on his team and he puts his heart into every case he has. Sometimes, he can't help but become attached to certain victims and cases, and if things don't go according to plan, he gets his heart broken. And, let me tell you, when Dr. Reid cries, the whole world cries.

Disclaimer: I promise I know he's not real, but a girl can dream, right?


I bet you wish he was real too. You've got a real winner here, CBS. Don't you dare kill him off. Or send him away. Or do anything except give him more screen time because the world needs it. The world needs Dr. Spencer Reid.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
