5 Questions I Have For 'The Bachelor'/'Bachelorette' Fans
USMagazine

Pretty much anyone who has been on social media within the last two weeks just saw that the most recent season of “The Bachelorette” just ended after whoever gave her last rose to whichever guy or at least knows what this show is. If you don’t, "The Bachelor"/"Bachelorette" is a dating reality show in which a man/woman meets however many individuals of the opposite sex in hopes of finding their one true love. Honestly? I don’t care about this show and don’t understand the entertainment factor of it. But everybody’s different. So, I have some questions for those of you out there who do find entertainment from watching "The Bachelor" and/or "The Bachelorette."

1. How does one find the love of their life in a short span of a few months?

One typically doesn’t even fully get to know someone in that short timespan. It takes an average of one to two years to completely learn about an individual. So, I really don’t understand how someone can get engaged to someone after several months of going on dates with one person along with other people.

2. How is this show even entertaining?

I don’t see how people can find entertainment in watching multiple people vie for one person’s love and then eventually get their hearts broken. Heartbreak is a serious thing, so why is it used as entertainment?

3. Is it not humiliating and heartbreaking to watch?

You’d think that watching that many people get their hearts broken by someone they claim to love would be humiliating and painful for others to watch. If I were to watch this show, then I’d be heartbroken to watch all of these potentially men/women get humiliated on national television by getting their hearts broken by someone they hardly know, but claim to love.

4. Isn’t this changing the way that we all view real love?

After seeing how quickly these men and women “fall in love,” is it not changing the viewer’s perspective of love? Seeing this could easily persuade viewers to believe that they can fall in love within a few dates with one person. Now, I’m a strong believer in the “when you know, then you know” phrase, but that doesn’t mean it won’t take longer for some people to fall in love with the one they’re meant to marry. God has a plan for us all, and it is different for each individual person.

5. Is it not obvious that this show is mostly scripted?

The contestants? Overdramatic. The love? Almost superficial. The drama? Overdone. Just from watching a short clip of “ The Bachelor,” I could tell how scripted it truly was. If you want to watch a scripted show, then just watch one of the many great sitcoms that are on TV now. They even give you a wonderful escape from the craziness of real life. In my opinion, that makes them much better than these “reality” shows.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
