Lizzie McGuire was the OG in showing us what having a crush was like.  From Ethan to Ronnie the paperboy, to Paolo, to Gordo, she taught us a lot.  Even though we are now grown up (kinda), we can still relate to Lizzie when we go through the stages of having a crush.

You see your crush for the first time

Woah. Who is THAT?! Where has that piece of eye candy been all my life???

You can’t wait to tell your BFF’s

Is this the guy (or gal) of your dreams?! Must consult the besties.

You can’t stop thinking about your crush!

Class: *thinks about crush* 

Dining hall: “is my crush here?”

Walking to class: “if I go this way I will totally see him/her”

You’ve got to look good

It’s time to turn up the cool factor.  How could (s)he not like me back when I’m so awesome?

You may be a little obsessed…

And overthink EVERY interaction between the two of you.

You simply can’t wait to hang out again!

It’s the highlight of your week when you hang out.  You have so much fun and swear you’ve never smiled this much before.

The moment you’ve been waiting for- someone makes a move!OMG it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for since you first locked eyes in the Fisher Center!

FIREWORKS

The time has come for your crush to be more than a crush.  Now it’s time to navigate the boyfriend/girlfriend territory!

Good luck collegiettes!
