You are the low life dirt that normal girls have to deal with every day.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. Proved That Maturity Doesn't Always Come With Age

I really thought this year’s bachelor, Arie Luyendyk Jr., would end up being a decent guy. I mean, he was on "The Bachelorette" five years ago and got his heart broke. I had watched him on Emily's season and loved him, I even follow him on social media. When he set foot on Emily's season I knew who he was as soon as he introduced himself being a racing fan. I was for sure a fan.

So, my assumption was that he could handle this experience being on the opposite end of it. On top of that, he is old enough to be some of the contestants' Sugar Daddy. He is 36, so there is some assumed maturity. He rolled through the season and wasn’t too horrible. There were not any real jerk moves until the end. Before the finale, he did good, until he got really obsessed with Bekah M’s age. This I feel like he could have handled a lot better than he did.

Then we get to the finale. First of all, he tells Lauren AND Becca that he loves them. Which especially in "The Bachelor"/"Bachelorette" is a BIG no – no. I do not believe that you can love two people at the same time anyhow. So, it goes on as it usually does. The first woman out of the car is the one who gets her heart broke and dumped.

This was Lauren, which did not shock me because she seemed very cold and not very into him. She stood there and spilled her heart out as he made no eye contact and his body language was very off to her. Not exactly a great move to let her stand there for what seemed like 10 minutes. I mean, it is not hateable that he did this, but he could have stopped her. He sends her away crying and confused, like normal.

Then Becca comes. Becca does the same of laying her feelings out, obviously not knowing she is the second one to see him and has much better odds. As she is putting her heart on the time he has better body language towards her, but he could have made a lot more eye contact. When my husband proposed, that whole day when he wasn’t driving he didn’t break eye contact. But then after Becca gets done he is so sweet and kind and proposes. In the video and pictures, they show afterward it looks like they are just where they should be.

Then Chris Harrison has to drop the bomb that the drama is nowhere near over, and it is the most dramatic ending. Then for over half an hour, we had to watch Arie damage a girl who obviously loves him beyond words. You see, the cruel part is, he set her up and then he wanted to film it! She thought they were at this gorgeous house for time together since they had been apart. Then he drops this on her, and she is obviously just shocked and very upset. She walks away from him, which seemed to be so she could keep her cool. He eventually walks after her and knocks on the door asking if she is ok.

Mind you, he knocks on that door like he is getting ready to help a person who is being sick. She had clearly told him to go away, and he keeps up on it. She goes out to talk again, which he did not deserve. He babbles on AGAIN. She is clearly upset with her head in her hands. He sits there with his hands in his lap just looking at her. Becca again asks multiple times for him to leave. After what seemed like the millionth time, he finally left the poor girl alone.

Not only was it cruel for Arie to propose to Becca but to make a long TV piece out of dumping her because of his jumped decision was a total jerk move. Mind you he could have told both women he wanted to date both of them after the show in a more normal setting. No one was forcing him to propose. There have been many people on the shot that do not propose. It is not a rule that they have to. Then part two rolls around and he goes running back to Lauren who for some reason takes him back. Her behavior was suspicious, but I’ll save that for another time.

Arie then feels like it is ok to propose to Lauren, thank god with a different ring, right in front of Becca. Sure, Becca said she was doing ok, but if they were so concerned about how she felt, he wouldn’t have done this. Arie must’ve been in it for the Neil Lane ring.

So, congratulations Arie, you are the low life dirt that normal girls have to deal with every day.

Shame on your for unnecessarily breaking hearts and making a wonderful woman go through this. Your ‘maturity’ is so disappointing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
