4 Thoughts I Had When The New Bachelor Was Announced

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

Bachelorette Boys

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!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
