During these unprecedented times, The Bachelor franchise has delivered. Last Monday, April 13, The Bachelor premiered its latest spinoff, The Bachelor Presents: Listen to your Heart. Though no one seemed excited about the new show, with everyone now being couped up in their houses, it seems to just what people need right about now. The show seems to copy the structure of their other spinoff, Bachelor in Paradise. Except there is no beach and all the contestants are new faces to Bachelor Nation. During the premiere on Monday, 14 men and 8 women began their journey to seek fame to a love rooted in music. After watching the first episode we are not quite sure what the rest of the season will look like but we can say it will be dramatic, to say the least. Half of the fun of watching these shows is making fun of the contestants...right? Well, it seems like the production notices that and purposely plays into it. I went ahead and compiled a list of six different times during the premiere the editing gave us that *chef's kiss* perfect moment.


#1 The focus on Sheridan approaching during Julia and Josh'sone-on-one

Not only does the camera show Sheridan coming, the camera literally focuses on him. The perfectly eerie shot of Sheridan creeping on Julia and Josh over their shoulder almost looks like something you would see in a horror movie if you ask me.

#2 The boys comforting Matt after Rudi told him off

After watching Rudi rip Matt a new one, it was clear there was some miscommunication between the two. Matt walks away from their conversation defeated and confused and the audience lives vicariously as Danny and Russell hilariously comfort Matt.

#3 The zoom in on Jamie as she tried to hold in her laughter

During the cocktail party, Trevor pulls Jamie aside to convince her to give him her rose swoon her with music. While one would expect being serenaded by a handsome individual would be all butterflies and rainbows, the camera's focus on Jamie shows how uncomfortable that moment can actually be. Not sure that is how Trevor expected that moment to go, but that reaction was just too noteworthy to leave off my list.

#4 Ryan's sweet words about Jamie while she makes out with Trevor in the hot tub

If Ryan did not win over your heart, you need to go rewatch the episode because you must have had your eyes closed. You cannot help but root for this sweetheart so it was almost heart-shattering for them to have him talk so beautifully about Jamie and their relationship then cut to Jamie having an intense make-out session Trevor in the hot tub.

#5 The cut to Michael Todd after the "douchebag" line

I mean I do not think there was a better way for them to introduce his character, and boy did he live up to that quote. Honestly, if Michael Todd, his lines, and his beatboxing did not make you uncomfortable then you may be a psychopath. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

#6 The cuts to Trevor drinking while Jamie and Ryan are kissing on their date

They cut to Trevor multiple times while Jamie and Ryan enjoy their date and he drinks his sorrows back at the mansion all alone. However, the icing on the cake for that scene may be having their romantic rendition of John Mayer's "Gravity" they recorded playing in the background.


Host Chris Harrison may work hard, but the production crew clearly works harder. Tune in Monday at 7 p.m. to watch the next episode of this 6-week musical journey unfold. Watch and see if the editing stands out to you any more than usual.

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.
