The Bachelor Who Did It Right

The Bachelor Who Did It Right
Wet Paint

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.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
