Say what you will about reality television but I have always been a fan. You can tell me it's fake and scripted, but come Monday night I will always be watching The Bachelor or The Bachelorette live. I live for the drama amongst the cast mates, the dramatic 2 on 1 nightmare of a date, and of course, the elaborate dates.

1. Your Friends and Family know Monday nights from 8-10 You Will Be Unavailable

Monday nights from 8-10 pm are a reserved and sacred time. People close to me know I probably won't text back during that block of time because I will be busy with a glass of wine in hand following someone on their journey to find love.


2. You Get Amped When Chris Harrison Comes On Screen

When you see Chris Harrison, you know something is about to go down. Whether he is involved in the group date, or he is there to let the cast know the Cocktail party will be canceled this week, seeing good 'ol Chris is always a warm feeling.


3. You Make a Bracket

I've been watching the Bachelor/Bachelorette dedicatedly since middle school. I always make a bracket! It's fun to follow who you think will win

4. You Make Comments the Entire Time

Are you really watching the Bachelor/Bachelorette if you aren't adding your own commentary throughout the episode?

5. You Become Stressed During Rose Ceremonies

Rose ceremonies are a stressful time, and it's nerve-wracking when your favorite contestants have yet to receive a rose.


6. You Live for the Drama

Admit it. The villain is usually one of your favorite contestants. Even if they're just a hired actor or actress, they bring a real juiciness to the show and without them, the show would be a little dull.


7. You HATE 2 on 1s

Two on One dates are the WORST. You never know if the person you can't stand is going home, the person you like goes home, or if they both get the ax. The 2 on 1 dates are tough to watch and waiting to see which set of bags the producer grabs is almost unbearable.


8. You Low-key Want to Audition

I'm 22 years old and just got out a long-term relationship. I have now promised myself that if I'm 25 and still sitting in this position, I'm totally signing up for the Bachelor.

9. You Wish The Dates on the Show Were Dates Someone Would Take You On

Some of the dates are stressful... remember when Vanessa barfed in the spaceship on her date with Nick?! But most of the dates are extravagant and that of a movie scene. I especially like the date when an artist gives a private concert. If I was ever on one of the Bachelor-style dates, I'd want it to end with a concert by Eli Young Band.

10. You Don't Let Those Who Hate the Show Bring You Down

Reality TV isn't for everyone, and that's fine. So when people say to me "that show is fake" or "it's so unrealistic" I never let them stop me from loving the show. I choose to believe it is possible to find love in 3 months!!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
