Bachelor In Paradise Is Back And Already Problematic

The drama began even before night one.

As some of you may know - from reading my previous articles - I am a dedicated Bachelor Nation member. Some might say obsessed. Yet, I've been disappointed. I've been bored by dramaless seasons and anticlimactic endings. However, Bachelor In Paradise never fails me.

Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise just premiered this past Monday, August 5th. All of the constant promos and previews were enough to get me excited, but I was not expecting the drama that was to come.

The premiere started with introductions of all of the bachelors and bachelorettes who are looking for love this summer. One by one, they arrived in paradise - Mexico - and got to work. Fan favorites, like John Paul Jones and Demi, came onto the scene full of energy and ready to spice up paradise. They were also joined by some not-so-favorites, Cam, and one special man, Chris, who quite literally came out of Bachelor retirement to look for televised love one more time. Blake and Hannah G quickly became the most pined for, but that all changed when Caelynn joined the group.

Once Caelynn hopped out of the van to greet host Chris Harrison, she made it clear that she was excited to see anyone...but Blake. Lucky for her, Blake was already beaching it with all of the ladies fawning over him. For the rest of the episode, Caelynn was seen crying in confessionals over the situation that soon became more clear once BIP alum Kristina arrived.

From several confessionals, chats with other contestants, and some awkward conversations with the man himself, the story of Blake's time off was pieced together. After being rejected by Becca Kufrin, season 14 Bachelorette, Blake took more than a year off before joining the franchise again. However, he did not keep the same distance from the ladies of Bachelor Nation.

During his time off, Blake dated Kristina for several months and talked to Caelynn as well. At this year's Stagecoach festival, Blake met up with Kristina again and ended up in her bed. He spent the next day with Tayshia and the night with Caelynn. In the morning, he was texting Hannah G and praising Tayshia, all while Caelynn was laying right next to him. He begged Caelynn to keep their time together secret, as it was a "mistake." He apparently kept contact with most of the ladies after Stagecoach, but somehow did not expect to see them all in paradise?

His first day, he went on a date with Tayshia, and then immediately agreed to a date with Kristina the next day. On their date, Kristina confronted him for what he had done. He then talked to Caelynn about what happened and seemed to not understand the weight of his actions. After realizing that everyone now knew what he had done, he delivered a frustratingly fake apology to Caelynn and too many fake tears to the cameras.

Yet, somehow, he still managed to get in with Hannah G. At the end of the two-night premiere, Blake pulls Hannah from her embrace with Dylan and woos her with his weird, bogus charm, leaving Dylan in the dust. All of this drama so early on has me excited for what's to come, but also nervous to see how any of these situations are dealt with. Through all of the previews, it seems like there is just a whole lot of crying and physical altercations, so I expect a lot of frustration and disgust to come with this season.

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.
