College for a first-year can be tough. You know what else can be tough? Finding love, which is something "The Bachelor" family can attest to. There's something about sobbing men and women shamelessly throwing themselves at one another in the name of love that makes you feel better about your own life. To tide you over until January 4, 2016, when Season 20 of "The Bachelor" premieres, starring Ben Higgins, here are 23 times where these bachelors and bachelorettes accurately described being a first-year in college.
