Monday nights quite honestly may be my favorite time of the week because I am a part of Bachelor Nation and a devoted fan to these programs. Here is my opinion on the best couples that have come out of the Bachelor franchise and how their love stories began. Please note that this list does not include all the couples that are still together today, it is just a list of my favorites.

1. JoJo & Jordan

Joelle Fletcher, more commonly known as JoJo was first loved by Bachelor Nation when she was a contestant on Ben Higgins season 20 of "The Bachelor" in 2016. She was runner up on Ben's season and was then chosen to be "The Bachelorette" during the shows 12th season. After a devastating break up with Ben, JoJo was determined to find her Unicorn, her once in a lifetime love. For her that did not take long at all, on night one Jordan Rodgers (brother of football player Aaron Rodgers) stepped out of the limo and swept JoJo off her feet. He was given the first impression rose and was seen as a front runner from the very beginning. She chose him in the end and he proposed to her on the shows final episode in 2016. They are still together today and seem very happy and in love through their social media postings. They are currently still engaged with no announcement of a wedding yet.

2. Ashley & Jared

Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon really have been through it all. I like to call them my fairly tale couple and here is why. Ashley was on Chris Soules's season 19 of "The Bachelor" in 2015. Jared was seen on Kaitlin Bristowe's season 11 of "The Bachelorette" in 2015. They both were sent home during their respective seasons, but the two of them as fan favorites were sent to the summer spin off "Bachelor in Paradise," a show where fan favorite contestants can go back for another chance at love in Paradise. Ashley and Jared went on season two and three of "Bachelor in Paradise" where Ashley fell in love with Jared at first sight and only wanted to date him, but he constantly rejected her feelings towards him. They then became best friends after their appearances on the show. After nearly 3 years of "will they or won't they?" Ashley and Jared announced that they had started dating in May 2018. On June 17, 2018, while filming the fifth season of "Bachelor in Paradise," Ashley and Jared announced that they are happily engaged. They truly represent a love that if it is meant to be it will come back to you.

3. Kaitlyn & Shawn

Kaitlyn Bristowe was first seen on Chris Soules's season 19 of "The Bachelor" in 2015. Kaitlyn placed third on Soules season and as a fan favorite she was announced as one of two women who would be "The Bachelorette" in the upcoming 11th season. Bristowe and other chosen Bachelorette Britt Nilsson were to be voted on by the men on the first night of their season to determine who would be the only Bachelorette. Bristowe won the vote and eyes turned to Shawn Booth who was seen as a front runner from very early on because of how much he cared and focused on Bristowe, even with another potential woman in the picture. Bristowe's final decision came down between Shawn Booth and Nick Viall (season 21 Bachelor). Bristowe followed her hear and accepted the proposal from Booth. The couple has been happily engaged since 2015. No official announcement of a wedding has been made yet. They seem to be very happy in love via social media.

4. Carly & Evan

Carly Waddell and Evan Bass...probably the couple people never expected to end up together and here's why. Carly was first introduced to Bachelor Nation on Chris Soules's season 19 of "The Bachelor" in 2015. Evan, on the other hand, was first seen on JoJo's season 12 of "The Bachelorette" in 2016. Both were quirky contestants who Bachelor Nation loved. They were both seen on "Bachelor in Paradise." Waddell was seen on season two and three, where Bass was only on season three where he met his now wife Carly. If you watched, you know their relationship was rocky in the beginning and Waddell wanted nothing to do with Bass. After Evan faked a trip to the emergency room to spend more time with Carly, that's where she finally realized how much he really did care for her. After that event, this couple fell more and more in love with every date and through every rose. Carly accepted Evan's proposal during the season three finale in 2016. Their wedding aired on television as a part of the fourth season of "Bachelor in Paradise" on August 15, 2017. Carly and Evan announced they were expecting their first child on August 6, 2017. She was born in February 2018. Carly and Evan are still happily married with their big happy family that includes their daughter Bella and Evan's three other sons from a previous relationship.

5. Jade & Tanner

Jade Roper was first seen as a contestant on Chris Soules's 19th season of "The Bachelor" in 2015 where she finished fourth. Tanner Tolbert was introduced on Kaitlyn Bristowe's 11th season of "The Bachelorette" in 2015 where he finished eighth. Both Jade and Tanner were Bachelor Nation favorites and were seen again on season two of "Bachelor in Paradise" in 2015. Jade and Tanner had an instant connection and they dated throughout the entire season. Completely in love with each other during their paradise journey, Tanner proposed to Jade in the final episode. Their marriage was televised as a special episode during the 20th season of "The Bachelor" in 2016. In March of 2017, they announced they were expecting a baby girl, and in August of 2017, their baby girl Emerson Avery was born.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
