Colton is famous for being a virgin on Becca Kurfrin's season of the Bachelorette and he also made an appearance on "The Bachelor In Paradise." While on this show they also used his virginity to create way too much of a storyline.

I'm sorry but being a virgin does not make you a unicorn. Being a virgin isn't even something that deserves any kind of national attention. I understand he wants to find love, but we all do. And we all do not go on THREE different dating shows to find it. It is easy to meet potential partners. I do not need to go on a THREE different dating shows to find the love of my life while millions of people watch.

The Bachelor Franchise is exploiting the fact that Colton is one of the few people that actually talked about being a virgin on national television. I know tons of people that are saving themselves for marriage and those people don't even get a second look when it comes up in conversation.

Colton has a beautiful non-profit organization that helps people with Cystic Fibrosis but that has been mentioned for less than a minute on all of the shows he's appeared on.

When did tv become more about someone's sex life than the good they do in there personal life? I'm tired of the fact that Colton isn't being recognized for the work he's with his non-profit. His foundation has helped hundreds of children get treatment when they can't afford it.

For those of you who want to support the foundation, here is the link: http://www.coltonslegacy.org/

I'm not sorry when I say I am not happy about Colton being the Bachelor, but I hope the focus more on what he does and who he is then his virginity.

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.
