To All "The Bachelor" Fans: It's Okay, I'm Addicted Too
@thebachelorabc

It's that time of year again, girls all over America crowd around the TV to watch 30 women fight for one hunk, that should legally not be allowed to be THAT cute. Peter Weber is our leading man for "The Bachelor" Season 24. He captured the audience on Hannah's season of "The Bachelorette" as the charming pilot known for his sweet, kind heart and his windmill escapades. This week marked the beginning of Peter's journey on "The Bachelor" bringing in millions of viewers- about 6 million, to be exact. Peter leads off his season with some definitely interesting girls and experiences. This season should be one for the books, but the big question is: why do so many people watch?

I am definitely no exception to the Bachelor Nation addiction. It is shocking if you don't find me plopped on my couch by 7:59 on Monday nights with popcorn in hand. My friends, who don't watch the show, always seem to have the same reoccurring question: why do you like it so much? And for a while, I had genuinely no clue. I've heard every explanation in the book as to why it can be demeaning to women, or men, or basically society as a whole. While I cannot fully agree or disagree with the many reasons why I should or should not watch it, I can't help but tune in every week. And the funny thing is everyone I know that has said they would never watch it became hooked.

The reality of the addiction is: all of us want to find love. The show, albeit not always realistic, provides a view into dating and potentially find the one. Every little girl dreams of her Prince Charming, and the good looking man put on a screen in front of us can represent that image. Throw romance, adventure, and a whole lot of reality TV drama into the mix, and who can help but be sucked in? While getting too invested can definitely be dangerous, I wouldn't want to spend every Monday any other way than sitting in my living room with my friends yelling about what crazy thing one of the girls did.

My advice: don't get too addicted, but a little devotion never hurt anybody. So, here's to a season filled with all the intrigue, love, and chaos. Happy watching, and may "The Bachelor" obsession be ever in your favor.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
