4 Reasons This Season Of "The Bachelor" Is The Absolute Worst

Even though I still watch every Monday night.

4 Reasons This Season Of "The Bachelor" Is The Absolute Worst

This season of "The Bachelor" has been called the most “dramatic season ever,” but I’d beg to differ.

The women are awesome this season and have made it more enjoyable to watch, but Arie seems like he questions why he’s on the show every week. Here are a few reasons why I’m not a fan of "The Bachelor" this season (despite the fact that I watch it every week):

1. Arie’s Minimal Vocabulary

Arie’s most favorite words are “amazing” and “wonderful,” rendering his descriptions of every woman and every destination sound exactly the same. He talks so much about how he’s feeling, but he honestly never says anything. Especially when his monologues consist of something similar to “Peru is just so beautiful. Kendall is amazing, wonderful, and quirky.” What does that really mean, Arie?

2. The Bowling Group Date

This date was so awful and truly I’m not sure how half of it made it on TV. Arie literally licked a bowling ball (why?) in a weird preview to the date. After the date ended, Arie had the audacity to invite both the winning and losing teams of women to the cocktail party that night. Krystal lost it and didn’t show up to the cocktail party, because she felt betrayed by Arie. So of course, Arie goes to comfort her, taking time away from the non-petty women.

3. Hometown Dates

This season’s hometown dates felt forced to me, especially because Arie told every set of parents that he was falling in love with their daughter. Kendall’s family seemed less than enthused with Arie and with the prospect that Kendall would want to be engaged. Lauren B.’s family couldn’t believe they were meeting another prospective husband of hers. Even Tia’s family (rightfully) had their doubts if Arie was the one.

4. Lauren B.’s Personality

Every week, I am stunned that Lauren B. gets another rose and that Arie can’t stop talking about how deeply he is falling in love with her, despite the fact that she says about 10 words each episode. Lauren B. seems like a nice girl and I can understand how she is so nervous, considering she’s been engaged two times before.

BUT, Arie constantly is telling her how he “sees it” with her and she had to know what she was getting into when she chose to go on the show. No matter how much Arie says he sees a future with Lauren B., I am certainly not “seeing it.”

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
