The Bachelor Who Did It Right

The Bachelor Who Did It Right

In celebration of the newest season, I'm going to hop on the bandwagon and talk about The Bachelor.

I had no idea what this show was until last year when it was Ben Higgin's season (and God bless television for bringing us this gorgeous man).

Anyway, I loved the show and I thought it was hilarious. I even tuned in to the next season of The Bachelorette and I was immediately hooked! I didn't think too far into details and didn't understand why people hated it so much. I

get it now, though. It can come off as a pretty disgusting show. Why would anyone want to find love and have their relationship based on some type of weird competition?

Hear me out, because I think it's pretty weird, too. I wouldn't want the guy that I'm dating also seeing, and potentially being physical with, another woman--let alone twenty-five women! That just screams problems in the long run. Especially knowing that multiple bachelors and bachelorettes fell in love with multiple women throughout the season.. I don't understand how the marriage can be successful unless the partners are extremely forgiving and kind.

Anyway, I started to be really against the show, until I watched Sean Lowe's season. I didn't know anything about him, but I do know that he has a seemingly (as seen through the media) successful marriage and a beautiful baby boy. I started to do some research on him and his family, and it turns out, in my opinion, that they did things the right way. He fell in love, they got engaged, and they publicly waited until marriage to have sex.

Watch this video to understand what I'm talking about:


I wanted to praise Sean Lowe for doing what I feel like every Bachelor should do. I feel like the way he and his wife, Catherine, went about things are the reason why they seem so happy.

Get rid of the other women, and the crazy unrealistic dates--and the competition--,and focus on the bigger picture. He wanted love and he kept his cool the entire time, knowing what would most glorify God.

Now, that's #relationshipgoals.

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.

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.
