Colton Underwood Was My Favorite Bachelor In Years

Despite the many assumptions people made about the season, I personally came to respect and like Colton even more from it.

Not a ton happened on the most recent season of "The Bachelor." It was mainly the usual overplayed girl drama and fights between them, and they managed to mention the fact that Colton was a virgin at least twenty times per episode. Despite those hiccups, though, I actually really liked Colton as the Bachelor.

I liked him on "The Bachelorette" on Becca's season, and on "Bachelor in Paradise" he made it clear that he wasn't really sure what, or who, he wanted in a relationship.

This caused a lot of people to be unsure of how his season would play out. Would he even get engaged? Or would he just leave alone, the third time in a row?

It turned out to be a lot more dramatic than that. With three girls remaining, Colton confessed his love for Cassie on their date, saying how he was positive he wanted it to be her at the end with him, just to be told by her that she had doubts about their relationship, and tearfully watched her walk away from him.

The much-awaited fence jump came after, where Colton claimed that he wanted to quit being the Bachelor. And he technically did.

I actually am glad that Colton made the decision that he did. He realized, after two times around, exactly what and who he wanted. He didn't want to just go with the typical Bachelor ending, where he gets on one knee and gets engaged just because that's what he was supposed to do.

Instead, he realized exactly who he wanted and wasn't willing to give up on that, and he also wasn't willing to drag Tayshia and Hannah G. along just because he got rejected.

Instead of putting them through a rose ceremony and going through with a date that he knew he wouldn't be fully into, Colton went and broke up with both Tayshia and Hannah, knowing that he wanted to be with Cassie, but unsure of whether or not Cassie would even take him back.

Although it was kind of brutal for the girls to find out at a random time, and for Hannah to not even be able to get her fantasy suite date, I think it was better than he let them know exactly how he was feeling.

He took a chance on his love for Cassie, and in the end, he ended up getting the girl after going back for her. And now, months into their relationship, they seem really happy.

They are posting cute Instagram pictures, "fighting" on Twitter, and they just seem totally and completely in love. Despite many people's worries if Cassie is as into it as Colton is, it's no longer our business (not that it ever really was, but the show ended, so we can't really judge their relationship anymore now than we could before).

I can't help but hope that they have a really happy future together, and I'm always stalking them on Insta and Twitter to see how they interact, just because it's so cute.

In the end, after a long dramatic journey, this was possible "the most dramatic finale" that I've ever seen on that show, but I ended up really respecting Colton and his decisions in his rough journey to find love.

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.
