The consequences of not watching the Bachelor on a college campus

What Not Watching The Bachelor Means

The Bachelor is a hit TV show on the ABC network, loved by millions of Americans. Among these millions of Americans, a good portion of them are college age girls. Meaning, that college is a hotbed for Bachelor talk, especially now, as the season ends and the multiple episode finale airs.

But amongst all of this Bachelor talk, are those of us who haven't watched this season, or the show at all. As someone who is familiar with the Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise, I know how exciting the show can be. However, the show is incredibly time-consuming, hence why I thought it smart to abstain from watching the show while at school. Keyword(s), I thought.

You don't realize how many people watch the Bachelor until everyone around you is talking about. And like I said before, it's particularly bad right now, as it's the end of the season. It's also all over social media, with everyone sharing their opinions, and memes, of the show. Even the news updates on my phone share articles written about the Bachelor.

So, while you may save yourself some time on Monday nights, while you're busy not watching the Bachelor, you also have no idea what your friends are talking about when discussing the big fight between "Hannah G." and "Rachel M.". And attempting to have your friends explain what they're talking about? Well, that would probably take more time and effort than just watching the show. Overall this season seems to have attracted a lot of attention because Colton is the Bachelor, and one who seems to be very polarizing; people either love him or hate him. And now, as the finale episodes air, Colton is captured doing so pretty weird stuff (which I have since read about in articles online...). These elements make for well-watched, highly talked about TV that feels hard to escape from.

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.

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.

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.
