5 Reasons You Should Ask Your Crush To Be Your Valentine, As Told By Peanuts' Characters

If you're looking for a sign, this is it.

Valentine's day is coming up soon and there's only one person you have in mind.

That one person you would do anything for because they're really that perfect in every single way.

Their eyes, their hair, their smile, the way they laugh… just the thought of them, you get butterflies in your stomach.

Bruno Mars's song "Just the Way You Are" continuously plays through your head, followed by "Marry You."

Except that one person doesn't even know your name or who you are.

So, ladies and gentlemen, it's about time. It's finally time your crush knows you exist.

With that in mind, here are 5 Peanuts character-inspired reasons you absolutely NEED to gather your courage to ask your crush out this Valentine's Day:

1. Goodbye to constant anxiety and overthinking!

When you have a crush you're constantly wondering if your crush is interested in you or likes you back.

You overthink and overanalyze literally everything.

It's truly torture to be thinking about something you don't know the answer to. It's an answer you will never know, until the day you die, unless you do something about it.

The answer is right there! All you have to do is ASK.

2. They might like you too.

This one is obvious but they might have a crush on you too.

They could be super shy or super introverted, who knows? They might be thinking the exact same thing you're thinking.

3. The worst that can happen is a “no.”

Because we're constantly worried about getting rejected, it occupies our mind so much to the point that it almost feels like it's a correct prediction of what is going to happen.

That intense fear of rejection inevitably overshadows everything else.

Psychologically, we are constantly reinforcing the idea of rejection and making it so much worse in our heads than it will actually be. It's like waiting in line for a rollercoaster. You hear people screaming their lungs out right in front of you so you overestimate how frightening the ride will be but once you get on and off the ride you're just like 'THAT WAS SO AMAZING. LET'S DO IT AGAIN."

Obviously rejection isn't fun or easy, and it's not the same thing as a rollercoaster but the point is that it won't be as bad as you think. This also applies to your daily life. Are you not going to apply to your dream job just because you think you won't get the job? Don't let fear lead your life.

4. And if they say “No,” you’re just one step closer to finding The One.

They don't like you back. It happens. But it's OK because that only means you're just getting closer and closer to finding the love of your life.

Plus, more chocolate for you, so yay!

5. It’s 2020. Make it your decade.

The new decade is here and you don't have to be afraid of absolutely anything.

This will be YOUR decade so JUST. DO. IT.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
