Why Luke Pell Should Have Been "The Bachelor"

The most dramatic Bachelor pick in history.

Why Luke Pell Should Have Been "The Bachelor"
Gigsalad.com

It's been about a month since Jojo's season of "The Bachelorette" ended with her choosing Jordan. Although most viewers were happy with her choice--because let's be honest, Jordan is a beautiful man--everyone was disappointed when she sent home fan favorite Luke Pell. He was the epitome of the perfect man; handsome and a gentleman. Personally, sending Luke home was the worse mistake Jojo made. But sending him home was also a blessing because that meant he had a chance at becoming the next "Bachelor" and who didn't want to see Luke on their TV every Monday again?

But on August 30, Chris Harrison broke "Bachelor" nation's hearts when he named Nick Viall as the next Bachelor. This will be Nick's fourth try on a "Bachelor" franchise show and if the first three times didn't work, maybe he need to try another process. Don't get me wrong, Nick is a nice guy and I'm still going to watch but I was shocked that Luke wasn't picked, and so was most of Twitter.

Luke was perfect for "The Bachelor" because:

He is genuine.

We all have to admit it, the Bachelor franchise has had some bad "Bachelors" (shall we mention Juan Pablo?), But Luke never acted full of himself or even seemed like he knew how perfect he was. He treated Jojo with nothing but respect and was never involved in the drama through out the season.

He is a veteran.

I have nothing but respect for our veterans and the fact that Luke is a veteran makes America love him even more.

He is a southern gentleman.

Luke was so respectful of Jojo. He even surprised her with that super cute candlelight walk to a heart made of roses at sunset. Like who would pass up a man who does little things like that? He wears his heart on his sleeve and would have been great to watch date 26 women.

He has no scandals.

A lot of "Bachelor" guys have had questionable pasts and although Nick hasn't had a scandal, he was written about in Andi's book. She told stories depicting him as very awkward and he called Andi out on national TV for having sex with him which was not cool. Plus how he came onto Kaitlyn's season was a little annoying.

It just made sense.

The next "Bachelor" or "Bachelorette" is always either the third or fourth runner up. That would have been either Luke Pell or Chase McNary (both great choices. 10 out of 10, honestly). So when Nick was announced it was really a curve ball. Jojo had amazing men on her show to choose from and one of them really deserved to find love, unlike Nick who has had 3 previous chances.

Clearly Luke was the better option, Chris Harrison. But that's okay, that just means he'll stay single and maybe I have a chance. Hey Luke, give me a call.

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.

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.
