Some people cry with such ease. I am not one of those people. It takes a lot to make my eyes water (unless I’m on my period, then I tend to get emotional over the tiniest things). However, there are some things that can make even the coldest person cry. Even if your heart is made of stone, these five things are always going to be tearjerkers.

1. That scene in Titanic when the mom is reading to her kids as the boat sinks

She KNOWS the boat is sinking and that her family most likely won’t make it out alive, so she reads her kids to sleep so they can die in peace. OMG I’m about to cry right now.

Online dating sites like match, eHarmony, zoosk and AdultFriendFinder only offer an abbreviated preview of the man or woman you might be dying to meet. HOW BORING! Ever feel like you’re just not getting enough? Too few details, too vague, too contrived? Looking for that extra umph in your next relationship? Looking for someone to take your relationship to the next level?

Feel like using these sites is a lot like looking for love in all the wrong places? Then look no further! YouTube’s hottest…er, lady…shines in a video series outlining her quest for love…or his quest for love? I’m not really sure. But I can tell you that if you’re looking to visit, oh, say, Westchester, then line right up because Maurica is the lady/gent for you!

A little nervous that maybe lightning won’t strike on the first date?

Trust me, one video from Maurica and you’ll be coming back for seconds and thirds.

With no new Glee episodes for quite a while, this girl right here needs her glee club fix. It’s true; I’m a Gleek. And much like a drug, the sweet, sweet harmonies of Glee make me – er – high?

Wow, does that sound L-A-M-E.

Anyway, after stumbling upon my new BFF (who doesn’t even know I exist) Sam Tsui, I am more than content until Glee starts up again. This kid is amazing. At first watch (which was followed by about 100 more viewings), I thought this video was 6 boys who looked tremendously alike singing only the most awesome of songs (MJ Mashup is my personal fave).
