Is The Bachelorette The Correct Way To Meet Your Spouse?

Is The Bachelorette The Correct Way To Meet Your Spouse?
US Magizine

Starting with 25 hunky men, this dating game show has it all from endless date cards and drama amongst the bachelors in the house, to heartbreak in the final anticipated moment: an engagement (and a final rose)! For those of you who love reality TV, "The Bachelorette" is one that you cannot miss! Although a televised competition of men going head to head for one girl may seem a bit peculiar, it certainly does not disappoint. This Monday, August 1st, the finale and final rose ceremony will air at 8 p.m. EST.

The final two left in this competition are Jordan Rogers, a former professional football player and the brother of NFL start, Aaron Rogers, and Robby Hayes, a former competitive swimmer. It is no surprise who the remaining contestants are as JoJo’s type is definitely a blond athlete with scuffles on his chin. Personally, I am #TeamJordan but JoJo cannot go wrong with either man. Neither of the two are employed but they certainly are cute!

From the first impression rose at the mansion to the final rose ceremony, "The Bachelorette" journey only lasts six weeks. Yes, you read that correctly. JoJo only had six weeks to fall in love with a man (or two) and try to figure out whom she will marry and spend the rest of her life with (or most likely will not). So is "The Bachelorette" a way you would want to meet your future spouse? This is a very untraditional way of meeting and it is truly a matter of opinion on the topic.

With such little time and many other suitors in the way, this show is not the ideal way to meet your next husband or wife. Contestants have very little one-on-one time with the bachelorette and often times are placed in a group setting, depleting the intimacy in the so-called “date.” According to the show rules, JoJo is able to have one overnight date with her three remaining boyfriends. How is she supposed to envision how life would be like with each man when she hasn’t spent more than 24 hours with each individual at a time? Many bachelor romances end up fizzling out a few months after the engagement. The inconvenience of having your significant other living in another state and not knowing much about them certainly makes the long-distance engagement a hard one. The end of the show honeymoon-high usually wears off once the couple returns back to reality.

It is an unlikely event that one will actually meet their soul mate on the show, but it does happen. Former bachelor, Sean Lowe, met his wife, Catherine, on season 17. The duo has been married for three years and just had their first baby. Will JoJo find her forever? Get excited #BachelorNation, the finale is on tonight!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
