So much for surprise endings.

ABC Ruined It... AGAIN
ABC

ABC has become the biggest spoiler of its own show, The "Bachelor"/"Bachelorette." It seems like recently, fans know how the season ends before it even starts. Newest bachelorette Racheal Lindsey has already released that she is happily engaged and in love, and while that’s awesome for her sometimes we just want them stay quiet and give us the mystery of not knowing whether any of the relationships works out in the end. Even last season fans were outraged when near the end ABC announced the newest bachelorette was Rachel Lindsey. Why the outrage? She was still competing on Nick’s season.

Last season, Nick Viall was "The Bachelor" and while still competing on the show, ABC announced that the next bachelorette would be Rachel Lindsey. There are several theories behind this move from ABC but even then, fans were outraged. One theory is that Nick’s season was to boring and they needed to ensure people were still interested for the next season. Nick’s season was exceptionally boring, but spoiling the end doesn’t make sense. Bachelor Nation isn’t going to bail just because of a few boring episodes. The other theory was that ABC wanted to cast guys specifically for Rachel and to do so they had to release that she would be the bachelorette. This theory makes more sense as to why they would release the news so early.

Things seemed okay; fans got over their frustration and waited for the end of Nick’s season. On After the Final Rose, fans got to see Nick and his winner Vanessa, then out comes our newest bachelorette, Rachel. This is pretty normal and things seemed good. Then it was announced that Rachel would be meeting her first four men… right then. Why these four couldn’t wait until the real deal? No clue. Was this a shock factor to get people interested? Probably. Honestly, it just made me wonder how they picked these four guys, and what did they have to do to get the early advantage on the other guys?

Yesterday, E News reported that Rachel was engaged and in love. ABC… seriously what’s the reason for this move? Part of what makes the show so good is because it keeps viewers on their toes and always leaves the chance that in the end, the bachelor/bachelorette could end up alone. While it is understandable that ABC needs to make headlines and keep ratings up, spoiling the show is getting old.

People love the Bachelor/Bachelorette. People are going to watch the show no matter what. We made it through a season with Nick Viall; it can only get better from here. That being said ABC, please stop giving away information, we actually want to watch the season for ourselves!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
