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.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
