7 Signs You Are Bachelor Obsessed

(Or Maybe Just Ben Higgins)

While the rest of the world hates Mondays, it is your favorite day of the week.

Some may say it is solely because of Ben Higgins, but I believe the show itself has an indescribable addictive factor. That is, only the strong can defeat their other competitors fighting for love.

However, I am not one of those people, I think The Bachelor is great.

After actually contemplating reassembling my schedule in order to be home in time for The Bachelor, I realized my problem.

Whether you can admit it or not, you may be Bachelor obsessed, and here are the signs to decide whether you're totally addicted to this show:

You Will Not Be Bothered On Monday Nights

Homework can wait, it is time for The Bachelor. Your friends know better than to bother you from 6-8 p.m., but who I am kidding, your friends will be watching it, too.

You Develop Unrealistic Expectations Of Dating

Where is the hot tub? Where is the helicopter? Besides the elaborate dates, where are the other Ben Higgins of the world?

Chris Harrison Is Your Idol

You believe he could find a match for anyone, because would you really still be single with him around?

Pulling "A Lace" Is Now A Real Thing For You

You are using contestants as insults towards real people and saying things like, "Don't Lace it up." That's normal, right?

Getting Your Bachelor Bracket Right Each Week

You know enough about it, why not prove it?

You Advocate For The Fact That The Show Is NOT Fake

Real love exists, and television is real, don't be fooled otherwise. Look at those tears. There is no way those are fake.

Each Week You Are Craving More

The preview for next week is enough to keep The Bachelor on your mind until next Monday, only furthering your addiction.

In any case, The Bachelor is great and way too much fun to watch. Whether you are in it for Ben or all about that competitive vibe, your Bach obsession is expected. And if you haven't been hooked yet, well...

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
