11. This girlfriend has a very serious case of "girlfriend brain."
12. And this man clearly has "boyfriend brain."

14. I think this boyfriend needs to donate his brain to science so that we can study it after he dies.
15. Same with this boyfriend.

u/alarik98 / Via reddit.com
47. This photo would be cited in the divorce proceedings.
[deleted] / Via reddit.com
48. This boyfriend cracked himself up, at least.

50. Cooking for a partner is sweet and all, but...I'm not sure I could call this cooking.
u/xLordTommyy / Via reddit.com

A pack of clear white string lights so you can cultivate the most cozy atmosphere you ever did see, earning you endless compliments from all room visitors while making your space feel like a magical fairy tale forest even on the dullest of days. Promising review: "I love the light color of these. They are the perfect warm glow, and I love the white cord. I have them in a few different rooms in the house, and they are wonderful! Having bought them over and over, occasionally I will get a strand that burns out a little faster, but at 10 bucks for two strands, I can't complain. They are wonderful." —AmeliaPrice: $10 A space-saving K-Mini Keurig perfect for those mornings (and there likely will be many) when you don't feel like trekking to the on-campus cafe or dining hall for a quick cup of Joe or tea. Plus, honestly, the smell of fresh-brewing coffee helps me wake up in the morning, and it definitely did for my 8 a.m. classes. Promising review: "I absolutely love this Keurig. I would have been dismayed by there not being a strong setting typically, but the brew quality is great with this. I am very impressed with it so far, and it's extremely space-saving and does what it needs to do! Makes a good cup of coffee!" —ErinecsPrice: $59.99 (originally $79.99; available in three colors) A floral Bluetooth Crosley record player with built-in stereo speakers, which serves as both *excellent* sound source and an artful piece of decor all in one. Plus, it makes an excellent conversation starter, especially if you leave your door open by day and play some truly awesome music. Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed. This is so boho retro vintage looking and it sounds amazing and it plays amazing and I love it." —TheresabPrice: $62.99 A set of gorgeous printed adhesive posters to instantly jazz up an otherwise boring and/or ugly dorm room wall with personality and flair, including those hideous cinder block prison-looking ones. (Like, seriously, WHO ever thought that was a good idea?) Price: $10 for a set of a six A blush velvet floor pillow so you and your guests can rest comfortably and in ultimate style while taking a break from hanging out on your bed. Turn chill time into a chic lounge moment. Price: $56.99 A three-tier metal utility cart with wheels that'll transform your dorm from chaotic to totally put-together, even if your laundry's still on the floor.

It's nice and sturdy, and she can roll it around, which is nice, too." —PurpleAcePrice: $40 (available in four colors) An affordable and compact Roku 32-inch smart TV so movie nights, morning shows, and spontaneous YouTube rabbit holes all happen in a crisp no-fuss style. Promising review: "Very easy setup. Great value for the price." —Terri DPrice: $129.99 (originally $149.99) A space-saving over-the-door mirror so you can check your daily fit without sacrificing precious dorm real estate (or drilling into the wall). Promising review: "My teenager loves having this behind her bedroom door to get ready. It's reasonable, lightweight, and easy to put together. My husband did put Velcro on it for extra security, though I'm not sure it really needs it." —LdkPrice: $19 (available in three colors) A compact freestanding mini fridge (and freezer!) because midnight snacks, iced coffee, and leftovers deserve their own tiny kingdom. Pretty ~cool,~ huh? Promising review: "I like the size. It is a good size for a room and didn't have to get anything to sit it on. It has a drainage tray when I get ready to defrost and clean. It also gets really cold, mine is only set to medium." —ShychickPrice: $129.99 (originally $219.99; available in two colors) A cozy bed rest pillow (aka a "boyfriend pillow," as my mom used to call them), which I used in college as my pillow for over a year because it was so darn COMFY. Plus, it's excellent for sitting up in bed while reading, watching Netflix on your laptop, or even getting some late-night studying done. Promising review: "Bought for my bed! Matches perfectly with my room. Comfortable to lean on!" —AlpalPrice: $20 (available in two colors) A portable box fan, since dorms are often notoriously tricky to cool down, especially in the warmer months, and especially if yours doesn't come with AC. Your future self (and your roomie) will be thanking your past self that you thought to bring this. Promising review: "I really like the power of the fan. It works really well. Makes the room stay cool." —AbPrice: $20.99 (originally $23.49) A mini air purifier if you're prone to allergies or just tired of dealing with mystery dorm room smells.

I definitely recommend this whiteboard!!!" —Cute assecoriePrice: $4.99 A set of floating wood wedge wall shelves if your walls are begging for some love (and your desk is already doing the most). Add all your fave tchotchkes from home, and the new ones you'll definitely collect along the way. Promising review: "Exactly what I was looking for. They fit perfectly in my room. They are the perfect length. They feel smooth/slightly cheap, but they are very aesthetically pleasant overall." —DAPrice: $25 for a set of two (available in two colors) And a cool colorful plastic succulent set if you need more stuff to put on the shelves and really show off your shelf-esteem. Best of all? These babies are immortal, so even if you go away on break, you won't have to worry about watering them. Price: $10 for a set of three A frosted waste basket reviewers rave is easy as pie to keep clean, plus it's cute enough to sit out in plain sight without trashing the carefully curated room aesthetic you and your roomie agreed upon. Promising review: "I have bought so many for my rentals and home! They are a fair price, extremely sturdy, easy to clean, and have a nice weight to them to prevent kicking the can over. I HIGHLY recommend!" —ScnsgkPrice: $10 A gorgeous and extremely comfortable 400-thread-count sheet set that'll instantly elevate your dorm bed from basic to boutique. Because sleep is in a twin XL. Promising review: "I purchased the blue striped set, and soft does not begin to describe this bedding set. The first night, I slept like a baby, which is not normal. I will be replacing all my bedding with these." —LindaPrice: $35+ (available in sizes twin XL–California king and 10 colors/patterns) A desk organizer and table lamp in one because your dorm lighting should multitask just as hard as you do (and look good while doing it). Promising review: "It looks more expensive than it feels. It's def plastic, but it's handy and adds a nice extra light to my desk." —KS919 Price: $16 (available in three colors) A cushy Sealy memory foam mattress topper because, let's face it, most dorm mattresses feel like gym mats, and this one's machine washable, so you can sleep easy in more ways than one. Price: $78.99+ (available in sizes twin XL–California king) A clip table lamp which includes an LED bulb so you can finally finish that reading assignment (or tackle your TBR pile by night) without blinding your yourself.

The neck of the lamp is easy to move and remains in place!" —Happier chickensPrice: $8 (available in three colors) A small 900-watt microwave perfect for popcorn, pasta, and panic-heating last night's leftovers five minutes before class starts. Promising review: "Just the perfect size and works great for reheating. Clean and sleek!" —Patti SPrice: $54.99 (originally $68.99) An overnight oats food storage container set so you can whip up a quick breakfast (or salad) in a pinch without ever leaving your room and trekking to the dining hall. This cute lil' set includes two containers and lids and a foldable fork for easy snacking and storage. Promising review: "It is perfect for breakfast or even to toss a side salad and some protein." —SharPrice: $5 (available in four colorways) A hanging organizer if your dorm room's short on space but big on stuff — because vertical storage is basically a freshman survival skill. Promising review: "This item is great to organize clothing in my son's closet. It has large metal hooks and is made of a heavy-duty material. The different size cubbies are great for differing amounts of different clothing items."—KittyloverPrice: $15+ (available in two sizes) And a cordless handheld vacuum (that can also be used to inflate!) to help keep your place spick-and-span without you needing to borrow or worry about storing heavy, cumbersome cleaning equipment. Friend accidentally spills popcorn all over the futon at 2 a.m.? Open the box of cereal too fast and get sprayed with Cheerio dust? Need to inflate a floatie for a pool party? No problem. Promising review: "Love this so much! I actually bought it for the car to have for kid mess-ups, but I just tried it on my baseboards and windows on the main level. It lasted the whole time without charging and works so well!!! Definitely getting another!!!" —Target CustomerPrice: $31.99 (available in five colors)

Want the Best Possible K-Cup? I Tested More Than 40, and These Are My Picks
What to skip: Revv No Surrender This coffee pod did little to rev my engines. Katherine Peach/CNET I found Revv No Surrender coffee disappointing for a few reasons:The blend reminded me of coffee from a pot that was left sitting on the burner for too long. The K-Cup tasted sour and astringent, followed by a burnt and bitter finish. Second, No Surrender claims to be the jolt you need as an early grinder, but it's made with 100% arabica beans. Straight arabica means it's likely to possess a typical caffeine boost without the naturally higher caffeine content of the robusta bean. (None of the K-Cup boxes gave caffeine information.) Finally, No Surrender arrived unannounced in the Keurig Coffee Lovers' Collection variety pack. I bought a box of the brand to test because No Surrender wasn't listed as part of the collection on the Keurig website. Not a style that I needed in excess of. What to try instead: Tactisquatch Tactisquatch by Black Rifle Coffee is smooth and toasty with a nice jolt of caffeine. Keurig If looking for a dark roast without much bitterness, I recommend trying Tactisquatch by Black Rifle Coffee Company at 68 cents per pod in the 22-count box on Keurig. The flavor is toasted and robust with a smooth finish. Tactisquatch also doesn't claim to be made with 100% arabica beans, so it likely includes the robusta bean for an extra dose of caffeine. It could be the jolt you're hoping for. What to skip: Starbucks Verona After tasting Starbucks' Verona blend, I'm starting to see why Romeo and Juliet ended up like it did. Katherine Peach/CNET Most people heading to Starbucks aren't going for its excellent drip coffee, but the Starbucks Verona K-Cup tastes like something has gone wrong in the roasting process. It is a hard pass for me because it smells burnt, tastes bitter and leaves an unpleasant tannic residue on the tip of my tongue. The brand markets Verona as a mid-dark on the label, but it tastes like an overcooked French roast. Are there better options out there, even by the same brand? Absolutely. What to try instead: Barista Premium Try Barista Premium instead of Starbucks Varona. Keurig The Barista Prima Coffeehouse Colombia is a single-origin alternative with deep toasted notes of walnut that don't overpower. I could see many people reaching for this first thing in the morning for an eye-opener. I also find it a little acidic, but it's a solid option considering it's a medium roast that leans dark. The K-Cups are 62 cents per pod on Keurig and found online at retailers like Amazon. What to skip: Seattle's Best Breakfast Blend Seattle's Best was one of the worst. Katherine Peach/CNET Despite tasting this K-Cup several times, the Seattle's Best Breakfast Blend is a medium roast that delivers a combination of muddiness upfront and a sweet yet musty finish. (I did confirm the best buy date is fine for almost one more year. Of course, the "best buy" date on a coffee label isn't an indicator of freshness.) Overall, this blend lacks the brightness and citrus notes listed on the box. I found the earthiness overwhelming and would need plenty of milk and sugar to balance out the flavor. Plus, at 56 cents per pod on the Keurig site, this isn't even the cheapest K-Cup option available. What to try instead: Illy Classico Choose Illy Classico over Green Mountain for a medium breakfast blend. Illy Illy Classico is another brand commonly found in the grocery store or on Keurig for $1.30 per pod. It's toasted and rounded in flavor for a medium roast without verging into overcooked. This isn't the most complex of blends but it's likely to please anyone interested in a solid, international coffee. What to skip: Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Colombia Select Green Mountain's Columbia Select started smooth but finished surprisingly bitter and flat. Katherine Peach/CNET I selected the Green Mountain Single-Origin Colombia Select because it was the only option with a Fair Trade Certified label from my local grocery store. While I appreciate sustainable sourcing, I found this K-Cup to be inconsistent. Even when it started smooth, it finished surprisingly bitter and flat. The aroma is sweet but is missing the claims of cocoa and caramel tasting notes. The Colombia Select also arrived as part of the Keurig variety pack and the flavor still disappointed. Granted, it's not as muddy as some of the other Green Mountain blends but the finish carried an essence of twig that just couldn't meet the label's aspirations. What to try instead: Philz Tesora I liked Philz Tesora with its smooth, toasted flavor and full-bodied texture. Philz For a medium roast with responsible sourcing, try Philz Coffee Tesora blend, at 78 cents per pod on Keurig. Tesora has a smooth, toasted flavor and full-bodied texture. This pod also claims notes of chocolate and caramel similar to the Colombia Select. The blend is bright overall to balance the nuttiness. Plus, Philz Coffee claims a range of partnerships for sustainability, fair labor conditions and social programs. What to skip: Gevalia Signature Blend Gevalia's signature blend was hardly offensive but there are plenty of others I would choose over it. Katherine Peach/CNET Labeled as a mild blend, the Gevalia Signature Blend light roast is bright and a little sour. If you want a true light roast, though, then it's better to go with another blend because this one is quite toasted. This K-Cup is also more bitter than I anticipated, which does mellow as the coffee cools. The Signature Blend also finishes with wet, earthy notes that are more musty than herbaceous. This is hardly an offensive blend, but there are just better options out there. What to try instead: Coffee People Morning Blend Coffee People's Morning Blend is a delightful light roast for daily drinking. Coffee People Coffee People Morning Blend is a better light-roast alternative. The Morning Blend is one of the few light-roasted blends that is truly mild with low acidity. It's also nutty with a light body that allows for a satisfying viscosity at the start of the day. While Coffee People Morning Blend isn't my top choice for a light roast, I found the pods consistent and highly drinkable at 39 cents per pod in a 24-count on Keurig.
