It’s "Bachelorette" season! Get ready for tears, hot men, cheesy dates, and most of all, jacuzzi’s. After getting her heart broken by Lyin’ Ben, JoJo Fletcher is returning to the Bachelor mansion in search of a ring in "The Bachlorette."

After a day of stalking researching the 26 men vying for JoJo’s heart, here is everything you should know about them!

Alex, 25

Alex currently serves in the Marines and let’s be honest, that’s incredibly swoon-worthy. He’s an all-around guy who describes himself as being laid back, self-motivated, and even saved someone from a burning car. He also has a twin brother, which realistically is sort of a buy one, get one free deal for JoJo.

Ali, 27

Ali is a bartender from California who describes himself as a party-starter with a laid-back attitude. To him, marriage means a “partnership in life, with limitless love and passion.” Plus, he surfs, plays the piano, and owns the most adorable dog named Hudson! Swoon.

Brandon, 28

With an occupation like hipster, Brandon clearly isn’t going anywhere. He makes up for it by describing his mother as the person he loves most in the world and describing his biggest date fear as being so attracted to a girl, he can’t be himself. I relate. He may not be a stunner, but Brandon definitely has some redeeming qualities.

Chad, 28

Chad is a luxury real estate agent from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was formerly in the Marines and is incredibly attractive. Unfortunately, he ruins it by being self-absorbed. When asked what his greatest achievement was, Chad answered with “being born good looking.” Yeah, I’ll pass.

Chase, 27

Chase is the literal embodiment of an All-American guy. He’s honest, ambitious, and looks up to his dad. He drives a truck, has an adorable little nephew, and a puppy named Hammer. He has a sense of humor and a serious love for lions. When asked what marriage means to him, he describes it as "One girl, one commitment-- for the rest of forever.” Chase…please take me away.

Insta: CMKNUST

Daniel, 31

Daniel is a male model, which isn’t surprising since he sports an amazing bod. Unfortunately, Daniel also knows he has a great bod and as such, uses the Lamborghini as a reference when describing himself. When asked if he had any tattoos, he replied with “No – same reason you don’t put stickers on a lambo.” Yeah, no, thank you.

Derek, 29

Derek is a commercial banker. The most outrageous thing he’s done is drunkenly skinny-dip in the ocean when sharks were active. He has a fear of fluffy kittens and cucumbers, but we can overlook that due to his amazing singing voice!

Evan, 33

Evan. Wow. I don’t know how to take this guy. He’s an erectile dysfunction expert who loves booty dancing and apparently is very in tune with his sexual energy. He also has relationship deal-breakers that include girls who talk too much, have serious food allergies, and have chipped nails. Pass.

Grant, 27

Grant is a firefighter by day and model by night from California. Honestly, this man could save me from a burning building any day. He describes his best attribute as being good at making people smile. He seems great until you scroll down his Instagram and realize he still has pictures up of his ex. What’s up with that, Grant?

Insta: grant_kemp

Jake, 27

Jonathan, 29

Jon is a technical sales rep from Vancouver. He has a beautiful little niece who he adores and believes his best attributes include his sense of humor, calm demeanor, and hair. Like Grant, he also has pictures of his ex on Insta, but in his defense, he barely updates.

Jordan, 27

Jordan is probably the most known contestant so far. He was a former professional quarterback and is the brother of NFL star Aaron Rodgers. He definitely has a sense of humor and admires his grandparents. Keep an eye on this one, he'll go pretty far.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
