10 Reasons Why You Should Be Watching This Season Of 'The Bachelorette'
ABC

You might have heard, but "The Bachelorette" is back! With Rachel Lindsay as the Bachelorette, this season is going good so far. It's already had its drama kickoff with DeMario's girlfriend showing up on the group date (talk about awkward) and the whole Lucas and Blake screaming match. Talk about dramatics! I would normally rank the guys in favorites or odds of winning, but I'd thought I would change it up and give a 4-1-1 on what's going on in ~the most dramatic season yet~

Here's my top 10 list of reasons why you should be watching "The Bachelorette" this season:

10. The dates.

Okay, the group dates so far have been FANTASTIC. Ashton and Mila, Rachel's squad from Nick's season, ELLEN DEGENERES? The producers are really stepping up their game. Or Rachel really has a "That 70's Show" addiction or wants to set up her friends with her castoffs. But seriously, the dates have been pretty awesome. I mean, male strippers? I'm not complaining. Alex can dance on me anytime.

9. Chris Harrison.

Oh, c'mon. He's our favorite whenever he comes on to say that the final rose is about to be given out, the date card gets read, or every time there's an unexpected house guest. He makes every season exciting and acts as God to the Bachelor/Bachelorette in helping them find love. Can I just meet Chris Harrison?

8. The drama.

I put this as number 8 because everyone hates drama but secretly loves it. The only reason why this show is popular is because of the drama. The producers exaggerate this show to an extent and in return it makes the show ten times better. Every twist and turn, gasp, screaming match, date stealer, saying "I love you" calls for the most dramatic season yet. Rachel's season has already had its fair share of drama but fortunately for all of you there's more to come.

7. The rose ceremonies.

This ties into the drama, but something about the rose ceremonies really leaves me on the edge of my seat. It's always funny to see what the guys are thinking as Rachel calls out a guy's name. When Blake was basically threatening to throw a temper tantrum if Lucas got a rose, I was actually borderline hysterical. The rose ceremonies are the most interesting because you get to see who stays and who leaves the mansion (and who wants Rachel the most).

6. Guessing who's going to be the next Bachelor.

It's too early to tell, but my money's on either Kenny or Josiah. Kenny most definitely, because I mean, he has a kid. Any guy with a kid is automatically swoon-worthy. It shows he's father material. If Rachel doesn't pick him, IDK what she's doing with her life. But every episode reveals another layer of him and the rest of the boys, so we'll see who's Bachelor worthy. Now Josiah...can he be my own personal Bachelor?

5. All the Bachelorette segments, like After the Final Rose or Men Tell All.

Is it just me or is this my favorite part of the show?!? The men tell all is especially funny because this is where the claws come out. No rules, the men are trashed, and people get to finally reveal what they wanted to say in episode two when someone spilled whiskey on another man's tie. When that day comes, I will be on my couch with a bowl of popcorn.

4. Twitter.

Every Monday night at 8, I open Twitter to start seeing the roasts coming. My personal favorite accounts are Sean Lowe and Catherine, husband and wife from Sean's season of "The Bachelor." They are absolutely hilarious because they poke fun at the contestants whenever they start acting crazy. Sheila the Chicken is also really funny, her owner being from Ben H's season when she put 'chicken enthusiast' as her job title. Bachelor Nation/Interns and Bachelor Burn Book crack me up as well. Twitter accounts just roast this show and I love it.

3. The craziness of it all.

This show is crazy. The dates are over-the-top. Finland? Really Nick? I'm looking at you. Every Monday night, I ask myself why do I watch this show? I tell myself that I should stop watching. But every Monday night at 8 p.m. Eastern, I'm right there in the middle of the craziness of Bachelor Nation.

2. Rachel.

Okay, who doesn't think Rachel is PERFECT? She is a lawyer, from Dallas (which is basically a requirement to be on this show I think), and she just wants someone to dance with in her living room. She is all of us. And on top of all that, she's the first black Bachelorette. She's making history!!!!

1. The MEN.


I saved this for number one, because well, the boys. Oh, the testosterone in the house can be too much with angry drunk guys. On the outside, it looks like a frat house, but when they're working out every day and in fashionable suits, I would never complain.

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.
