Well, "The Bachelorette" Got Me Hooked Again

I don't usually watch the show, but this season has me hooked.

I'm not typically the girl to swoon over the concept of reality TV. Romance movies and novels, sure, but shows like "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" and "Real Housewives" have never been my cup of tea. That being said, shows like this seem to enthrall the majority of the country for reasons we may or may not agree with. One of these shows that have officially become my kryptonite is "The Bachelorette."

This season, Hannah B. (the runner-up from Colton Underwood's season of "The Bachelor") is setting sail in far-off places to find a man. I've never agreed with the idea of a TV show practically forcing the idea of engagement in a three-month-or-less span, but there's something that keeps me coming back for more.

I can't even remember why I actually tuned in that very first night of the season, but alas, I did. And that's when it all went downhill (I'm being dramatic of course). My mom and I watched as man after man showed up to the mansion. We cringed at the weird introduction packages (anyone remember the "box king?") and swooned at suitors who seemed like a fairytale.

Right off the bat, I knew I liked at least a handful of guys, my favorite being Peter Weber or "Pilot Pete" as he's now known. Unfortunately, I also liked Luke P. for a time, although I think it was really only because he said he was Christian. If we're being honest, the way the show has portrayed him doesn't reflect his proclaimed faith to me, but that's just one gal's opinion. I also rooted for guys like Jed and had my heart crushed when the news surfaced about him having a girl back home. Whether that's true or not, even the rumor of it certainly puts a damper on things.

This season has had its ups and downs. It's made me laugh, scream, and almost cry at points. While I respect Hannah, I will say it's infuriating when she keeps around guys who treat her poorly, not knowing what she truly deserves as a proclaimed daughter of God. There are also obvious things I disagree with from a moral standpoint, but as I said, that's up to Hannah to figure out for herself.

One thing has remained constant, however. I still root for Pilot Pete to this day and, regardless of if he wins Hannah's heart, I'll want a picture if I ever see him in an airport!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
