10 Reasons Why 'The Bachelor' Gives Us False Hope
thewrap.com

There aren’t many girls I know that don’t spend their Monday nights binge eating ice cream and drinking wine with their girlfriends while watching "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette." After watching this show for several years, I have come to the conclusion that this show gives us all mixed emotions and false hope on what we should expect from life in general.

1. I hate to admit it but you will never ever have 28 guys chasing after you. As awesome as that would be, that will be one dream that might never come true.

2. Being able to afford the wardrobe and amount of cocktail party dresses is probably financially impossible.

3. You will probably never be able to travel to that many exotic countries and islands in a matter of three months.

4. Coming from any girl with experience in relationships – opening up is hard, but imagine having to open up to a stranger in three months and potentially being engaged in the end. After multiple failed relationships, I think it will take a little more than three months of getting to know someone before knowing whether or not you’re ready to spend the rest of your life with them.

5. Obviously living with multiple girls, there will be drama. But how can girls be friends when they’re all fighting for love from the same guy? Honestly, if the feelings are real, I think it’s impossible.

6. Having a camera crew plus multiple other girls around isn’t an accurate representation of what your future relationship will hold.

7. How is it possible that almost every guy that goes on this show has a perfectly sculpted body? I wish every guy that crossed my path looked like that.

8. You’re only seeing your future significant other after you're spending hours getting ready for a date. If you think about it, every girl shown on camera is wearing some sort of makeup, because once again, there is a camera filming their every move.

9. When it comes to hometown dates, how do you explain to your family that the guy you’re letting them meet is also dating three other girls? Yes, it’s part of the process but how will your dad feel about that?

10. You’re fighting a losing battle. You’re competing with 28 other girls for one guy. In the end, regardless, this one guy walks away happy and in love, when you’re not guaranteed to be the lucky girl that this guy walks away with. Where does that leave you? With another broken heart.

As entertaining as the show may be, it's never going to happen. We basically just love to hate "The Bachelor."

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.
