New Year, New Season Of “The Bachelor”

It's baaaaaaack. That's right, folks! ABC's "The Bachelor" is back, which means so are the live tweets, blog posts, and full-on articles about the show. You know you missed them. (Don’t lie. XOXO, Bachelor Nation.)

This season not only marks the 21st season of the show, but it's the season Nick Viall is actually the bachelor.

For those of you who don't know, Nick has quite the history with the Bachelor franchise. He was a runner-up on two seasons of “The Bachelorette.” This means that two girls had the option between him and another guy, and they both chose the other guy over him. Essentially, his heart burst into a thousand pieces…twice, and on national television.

After those back-to-back heartbreaks (seasons 10 and 11 of “The Bachelorette”), he appeared on season three of “Bachelor in Paradise.” Unfortunately, he had no luck finding love there either. It definitely wasn't all smooth sailing in paradise. If Josh didn't swoop in, Nick would probably be with Amanda right now. But, I guess it just wasn't meant to be...

Though you think he would’ve wised up at some point and realized it’s not ideal to find love on a reality show, you have you admire his persistence. He’s back for more as the leading man on “The Bachelor.” He wants to find love, and he wants the world to see him do it. At least this time he has a bunch of girls fighting over him instead of having to compete with other guys for one girl. I’d say the odds are in his favor.

Now, this will be my second round of watching "The Bachelor." I've seen Ben's season of "The Bachelor," Jojo's season of "The Bachelorette," and season three of "Bachelor in Paradise." That means I only saw Nick on "Bachelor in Paradise." Lucky for me, because from what I heard, he was seen as the villain in the two seasons of "The Bachelorette" he was on. But, the Nick Viall I know (Paradise Nick) is a nice, genuine guy who has had his heart broken too many times and deserves to find his true love.

With this season’s premiere, we were introduced to the group of women he has to choose from. Some seem weird (i.e. the dolphin/shark), some seem annoying (please send home Josephine ASAP), and some seem like they could be potentially good matches for Nick (Rachel, the girl who got the first impression rose, and the girl from Germantown, Wisconsin).

I’m excited to see what's in store for him and if he finds "the one." I sure hope he does! And, personally, I’m excited about the fact that he’s from Milwaukee because same.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
