"The Bachelor" is one of the most popular shows on television and has been running for years. How it’s survived this long, I’m not sure. The show focuses on a group of 30 women who are chosen to compete over a guy they just met and get his hand in marriage. If this show already sounds like a disaster, that’s because it is. The women must fight for the guy’s attention, and at the end of the week they must be given a rose by the bachelor in order to move on to the next round. If they don’t get a rose, they have to go home.

In short, the show mostly focuses on a bunch of women thrown in the same room who fight, cry, whine, scream, hiss, throw temper tantrums, stomp, and cry some more. If I wanted to watch a bunch of whiny women cry over not getting a guy’s attention, I would go back to high school.

Oh, and if that doesn’t sound bad, it gets worse. The thing that is really unnerving is that after all that drama, you find out that a week after the bachelor picks the woman he wants to marry, they break up.

Another thing that bothers me is the fact that the show pretty much treats the women as though they are cattle. The women encourage the stereotypes facing women by doing everything in their power to gain the bachelor’s attention while losing their dignity in the process. This is the top reason why I won't bother watching the latest season of "The Bachelor." In fact, here are ten things I’d rather do than watch "The Bachelor."

1. Watch Paint Dry

Watching paint dry is much more entertaining than watching an episode of "The Bachelor."

2. Catch On Fire

I’d rather burn to a crisp than have to constantly watch women fighting and screaming when they don't get a rose. Or even whining about their personal life for that matter.

3. Pour Bleach Into My Eyes

I'd lose my sight, but this would at least keep me from having to see another woman from "The Bachelor" cry and whine about how another contender got to talk to the bachelor for five more seconds than she did.

4. Eat Mayonnaise From The Jar

I hate mayonnaise, but I’d much rather do this then force myself to watch a season of "The Bachelor."

5. Volunteer To Have Knives Thrown At My Head

I'd rather volunteer to have knives thrown at my head then force myself to sit and watch all of the seasons of "The Bachelor." I’d even let the person throwing the knives be blindfolded.

6. Give Each Of My Students A 12 Pound Bag Of Candy

And if any of you are a student teaching or are a teacher, you know exactly what I mean. Try teaching on a holiday and you will see exactly what I mean.

7. Walk Barefooted On Glass

Walking barefooted on glass may be painful but it would be nowhere near as painful as watching an episode or a whole season of “The Bachelor”.

8. Have Pennywise Babysit My Future Kids

If Pennywise was real, I'd still rather do this then watch an episode of "The Bachelor." And anyone who's watched IT knows that Pennywise is not good with children.

9. Jump Out Of An Airplane With No Parachute

I’m terrified of heights, but even jumping from a plane with no parachute sounds more appealing.

10. Volunteer To Be Live Bait For Sharks

Because who doesn’t want to go inside a shark cage and become live bait after watching all of the "Jaws" movies?

11. Be Buried Alive

This is one of my worst fears, but you wouldn't see me complain.

I’d rather do all of these things than watch a season of the bachelor. There are so many other shows that are so much better than the bachelor like the shows "This Is Us" or "The Good Doctor." So unless you find watching a show that's highly scripted or watch a bunch of desperate, pathetic woman whine for an hour, I suggest watching something else more appealing.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
