4 Thoughts I Had When The New Bachelor Was Announced

I couldn't decide if I loved or hated this announcement.

We met Colton Underwood in Becca Kufrin's season of "The Bachelorette." A large part of the series was focused on the innocence of Colton. Walking into a rose ceremony that could've brought him a fantasy suite, he pulled aside Chris Harrison to discuss whether or not he was expected to do anything that night. Sadly, Colton was sent home at that rose ceremony and got to keep his "innocence!"

We soon got to see a new side of Colton as we entered Sayulita, Mexico for "Bachelor in Paradise." They showcased him as somewhat of a bad guy, taking way too long to give Tia a straight answer regarding their relationship. A couple episodes later, Colton finally asks Tia out, and they make it official. And soon after, all that goes away! Now Colton is going to be the Bachelor, and I think Bachelor Nation has a lot of mixed emotions!

1. Why not Blake?!

Watch and cry with me as we reminisce on how perfect Blake was. He was perfect for Becca, and after being rejected he was perfect for the next Bachelor!

2. Tia???

Tia and Colton's end on "The Bachelor In Paradise" was a little confusing. Did he still have feelings? Is he completely heartless? Bachelor Nation fell in love with their relationship during the paradise season, how are we supposed to be open to him in new relationships now?!

3. Are you sure he's ready?

Throughout the entire "Bachelor In Paradise" season, Colton struggled with moving on from Becca and being able to start a new relationship with Tia. If he left the show because he wasn't ready for Tia, how will he be ready for the eager cast of girls on the new season?

4. I guess it isn't the end of the world.

Colton is undeniably cute, and, as we saw from his hometown date, he is an incredibly kind and caring person dedicated to serving others. Maybe he wasn't Bachelor Nation's first choice, but it's not all bad!

Although my initial reactions were a little rough, I finally eased into the idea of Colton being the next Bachelor. There is drama in every choice made for the show, so I can't wait to see how the new season unfolds in 2019!

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.

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.
