If you're anything like me, you might have told yourself that you would never get sucked into the world of caring too much about other people's marriage prospects... but soon you found yourself laughing and crying along with the newest Bachelor or Bachelorette, feeling like you were living their journey alongside them. And if you're anything like me and you're way too invested in watching Rachel Lindsay on this season of the Bachelorette, you've probably thought some of these very same things at one time or another.

1. When you realize it's Monday night and Bachelor Nation is getting hype - "This is the pinnacle of my existence."

2. When Rachel tells a guy (*cough* Demario *cough*) off and you just want to yell, "PREACH GIRL!!!"

3. Eric is all of us when our brain is fried after being in the library for too long.

4. When Lucas literally did anything and you just had no words.

5. "If I had a dime for every time a contestant called another guy in the house disingenuous."

6. "And another dime for every time Rachel said Bryan scared her."

7. When a contestant asks another guy in the house to have a conversation outside and you are on the edge of your seat.

8. The mild satisfaction you get when an overly confident guy thinks he is getting a rose and then doesn't.

9. When Rachel gives a rose to a guy you've actually never seen her have a conversation with and you wonder, "How is he still here?"

10. We all had a simultaneous sigh of relief when Rachel saw through Lee's lies.

11. But we can't help but feel sad when Rachel says goodbye to some of our favorites.

12. When you see tears in the preview for next week's episode and think, "This is gonna be a good one."

13. And finally, when the dreaded moment comes and you realize they skipped a week in airing an episode - "Who has time for NBA finals when Rachel is trying to find love?!"

It can be stressful at times and a rollercoaster of emotions, but at the end of the day you know Rachel is your girl and she's going to make the right decision.
