It's common knowledge that Chris Harrison is the greatest guy to come out of "The Bachelor" franchise. For 23 seasons, fans have watched him go from cute young host to reality show icon, and he deserves every bit of the success he's earned.

Ever since his divorce in 2012, Bachelor Nation has hoped for a season staring Harrison himself. I mean, who wouldn't apply for a chance to fall in love with the series' true leading man??

But in January 2019, everything changed, and Harrison made his red carpet debut with Lauren Zima — the Hollywood equivalent of becoming Facebook official.

Obviously, Lauren Zima is the true winner of every season of "The Bachelor" combined, but who is she? And what makes her worthy of Chris Harrison's heart?

Here's what you need to know before shipping one of Bachelor Nation's greatest love stories:

1. She hosts her own Bachelor Nation digital series called "Roses and Rosé" for Entertainment Tonight.

As the voice of Bachelor Nation for ET, Lauren lends her hilarious personality to their digital series dedicated to episode recaps and cast interviews.

2. She knew Chris long before they got together.

Lauren has been ET's designated correspondent for all things "The Bachelor" for the last several seasons, so she interviewed Chris often. Though their relationship was once purely professional, you can see a spark between them long before things turned romantic, like in this clip from 2017.

3. She started dating Harrison in late August 2018 before they became "red carpet official" the following January. 

They made their debut as a couple at Entertainment Weekly's pre-SAG Awards party in LA and have been sharing their love story on Instagram ever since.

4. She kick-started their relationship by sliding into his DMs.

Lauren first knew Chris was interested when they shared a flirty conversation at craft services during a Tell-All taping. But SHE was the one to initiate things by sliding into his DMs soon after, opening to door for him to ask her out.

5. She's always been his biggest fan.

Though she claims that she "never looked at him and ever considered whether I found him attractive," it's clearly Lauren was always a fan of "The Bachelor's" host. Just watch her call him "one of America's great Chris's" in this adorable clip.

6. She's talented and driven.

After celebrating her one year anniversary with Chris, Lauren was promoted to regular correspondent on Entertainment Tonight – a huge accomplishment! When asked how Chris took the news, she said: "We work hard to be each other's biggest champions and celebrate our accomplishments."

7. She's supportive. 

Lauren is clearly proud to stand by Chris' side, and she shows it with sweet and supportive posts like this one from when he was named "Man of the Year" by his college fraternity.

8. She brings out his fun side.

Just look at this adorable picture of their first Halloween together, when he dressed up as the Jackson Maine to her Ally just because he knew it was her favorite movie of the year.

9. She is open about how much she loves him.

As she puts it, "life is good when love is easy," and it's clear that Chris and Lauren are very in love.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
