The 11 All-Time Craziest Moments On 'The Bachelor' And 'The Bachelorette'

If you’re like me, eternally single and a fan of "The Bachelor" franchise, you will understand my struggle. I enjoy watching people “fall in love” even while I am alone, wearing my fat girl sweatpants and a face mask. Even though I am convinced of the falsity of "The Bachelor" and I believe it is entirely sexist in nature, I will eagerly admit that I actively indulge in it. Thankfully, I can acknowledge that it is a great escape from my romantically deprived reality. Embarrassingly, I like to live vicariously through the girls who experience what I can only dream about. They get their 15 minutes of fame while spontaneously jetting to private islands and exploring exotic countries. All the while, they are dating a ridiculously attractive man. Whether or not they have been baited by the show’s producers, there have been too many outrageous moments during the series’ long run. Out of sheer boredom and procrastination, I have decided to undertake the difficult task of assembling and ranking some of the more ridiculously amazing television moments. I had 20, but I condensed it to 11 so as not to offend those contestants who clearly had issues they needed to take care of.

  1. When Jason Mesnick proposed to Melissa Rycroft, dumped her, and then admitted that he still had feelings for the runner-up, Molly Melaney. They then got married and had a child. What could be more awkward? Actually, Shawn E.'s profession. (Jason Mesnick's season)


  2. When a contestant had sex with one of the show’s producers. He obviously knows what makes good television. (Jake Pavelka's season)


  3. When Ben and Courtney skinny dipped in the ocean on national television, she became public enemy #1. (Ben Flajnik's season)


  4. When Kaitlyn had sex with Nick and their sounds were recorded and played for all of America to hear. Thanks, ABC, for not leaving anything to the imagination. (Kaitlyn Bristowe's season)


  5. When Nick asked Andi Dorfman why she had sex with him if she knew she did not love him. Honestly, Nick should start charging the Bachelorettes for his services. Who's next on his hit list? (Andi Dorfman's season)


  6. When a woman gave the Bachelor a pair of her underwear that she shoved into his pocket. I hope they were not the ones she was wearing in the limo.. (Matt Grant's season)


  7. When Kalon referred to Emily’s daughter as baggage and she ditched her Southern charm and went HAM on him. (Emily Maynard's season)


  8. When identical twins showed up on Ben’s season --how was that ever going to work? I don't even want to know what he was thinking when they came out of the limo. (Ben Higgins' season)


  9. When a contestant straight up did not take off a masquerade mask because he wanted the Bachelorette to like him for his personality -- ha, please. Theirs could have been the greatest love story ever told. (Ashley Hebert's season)


  10. When Juan Pablo couldn't tell Nikki that he loved her and instead he told her he "liked her a lot." If you ask me he took one too many soccer balls to the head. (Juan Pablo Galavis's season)


  11. When a woman's occupation was as a chicken enthusiast. Whatever that job entails, sign me up. #neverforget (Ben Higgins's season)

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
