It came to my attention that him leaving was long overdue.

I found this out because people were talking about it at work and filled me in on the latest episode. I don't actually know anything about The Bachelorette otherwise so I will talk accordingly.

Basically, disclaimer: the writer doesn't know anything whatsoever except what she will talk about, which is what she knows.

Confusing, I know.

The reason it was brought to my attention in the first place is because Hannah stood up for herself when Luke P. (why do I need to add the P. in the end? Is there another Luke maybe? I don't actually know but I'm going to continue with this) told her that he did not want her to be sexually intimate (his words) with anyone else because that's what he expects in a partner and his faith tells him so.

Listen, I'm down for you to have your own faith and beliefs but that gives you no right to impose those faiths and beliefs on other people who do not share them nor does it give you a right to judge them because they have different faith and beliefs that do not necessarily align with yours.

If this is something you are super invested in, Luke P., then you should probably have not joined The Bachelorette where you will literally have to compete with others for her. Like that's the actual premise of the show.

So in response to this, Hannah replied by saying that you can't tell me what to do or what not to do. Luke P. immediately said that yes, that's true I can't but I guess I will be willing to work through it if you have been sexually intimate. Which wow? What kind of confidence and audacity. If I had the audacity and confidence of a cis white male, I would be running my own country by now, at the very least.

Hannah got pissed off by that, which is a completely valid reaction. She told him that she excused a lot of his behavior even though she would not want that kind of behavior in her future husband and this is his ultimatum? Sex?

Here's where I can't actually tell you guys more because I don't actually know what kind of behavior he has been exercising but I have been told it's manipulation and lying to eliminate the other contestants so he really sounds like a great guy.

Women have constantly been shamed for being sexually active or not sexually active enough by others who think their opinion is something that should be taken into consideration.

Spoiler alert: it is not.

Women are damned if they do and damned if they don't and that is unfair and sickening on so many levels.

Hannah calling Luke P. out on his slut-shaming reminds us that this is something that still occurs very frequently and it should be called out.

I may not watch The Bachelorette but go Hannah for setting an example for all women out there by being unafraid to put herself first and calling Luke P. out on his unsavory remarks.

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.
