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.”

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
