A Review Of The Bachelor Hometown Dates

As "The Bachelor" comes to an end, the hometown dates become one of the most important factors to help Ben choose the love of his life. Usually, the dates are about the same every season. The bachelor meets one girl's kids, gets questioned by a couple dads and older brothers, makes the sister cry after saying one word about how much he loves her sister, and a whole bunch of "I'm going to tell ____ I'm in love with him today." Regardless of whether or not this happens every season, we still love to watch them, so I'm going to write a review of the hometowns last week.


Amanda

Amanda is so sweet, and she finally gets the chance to introduce Ben to her kids. They chase each other around on the beach and Amanda is so happy they're all bonding. Ben then endures a long car ride home of crying children who at that point couldn't care less if he was there or not. After seeing his face getting out of the car you could tell Ben was not about screaming kids (but who would be). He meets the parents, they talk about the same boring stuff, her parents question him 1,000 times about being ready for kids, then he leaves without an "I love you" from Amanda.

Lauren B.

Lauren B. is everyone's favorite and her hometown date did not disappoint. She took Ben around Portland and they walked around downtown and ate from food trucks and it just looked like a blast. Ben then goes to meet the family. Not only did Ben cry when he was talking to Lauren's sister about his feelings for her, but her parents (who looked so much like her it was crazy) seemed to like him as well. Another date went by, though, that Ben didn't get the "I love you" that was planned for him to hear.


Caila

I think we were all surprised that Caila is still here in the first place. She's cute and bubbly and wears the trendiest clothes, but she doesn't seem like Ben's type to me. To be honest, I barely remember her hometown date, which proves how boring it was. She took him to a toy factory and they made their own little play house, which was sweet and kind of made me want to try the same thing. Ben meets the parents, they talk, they like him, blah blah blah. Caila's dad seems to try and give Ben a hard time but seems too kind to do so. Caila wants to tell Ben she loves him but she doesn't. Sorry, Ben.

JoJo

JoJo is my favorite, so excuse the bias. She came to her front door to see roses and a letter that she thought was from Ben, so she began to happily read the letter out loud. When she figured out it was her ex and not Ben, she got upset, made a call to her ex to end whatever he was trying to begin, and then told Ben the whole story. It was a lot less dramatic than the show was trying to make it. We then get to see JoJo's humongous mansion (her parents are doctors and her brothers own a massive real estate empire - I looked it up) and we meet her parents and two older brothers. The older brothers try and give Ben crap about dating their younger sister and tell him he has power over all these women to make them love him (duh he's the bachelor that's what the show is about). I had recognized JoJo's brother Ben from another show called "Ready For Love" and found out today that his relationship from that show didn't work and his relationship with the producer of the show, Eva Longoria, after the show didn't work either, so maybe love shows make him a little salty. JoJo was the only one who said "she was falling in love with Ben" instead of "I'm in love with Ben" but it doesn't matter because none of them told him anyway.

Amanda gets sent home, which shouldn't have been a surprise but I was expecting Caila, and the preview for next week looks super dramatic but probably won't be. I'm just excited for the Women Tell All.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
