I have a confession to make: I have a problem, and that problem is reality TV. I plan my day around when "The Bachelor" is coming on or what time "Keeping up with the Kardashians" is playing reruns. I get caught up in the drama on "Vanderpump Rules" and have my opinions on the latest gossip on "Teen Mom." I watch reality TV, and I watch a lot of it.

My mom thinks it's all trash, and she's totally right—it's all garbage. But it's also comical, in a way, which is why I think we're all so caught up in reality television in the first place. It's anything but reality. And it makes us (or at least me) feel better about ourselves watching the Kardashians and realizing it's probably best that we don't live like them (even if they do have all the money in the world, which I wouldn't mind). These people don't teach you a whole lot, other than how not to act, drink, or dress. Their attitudes about life are not exactly the role model type, and I definitely don't aspire to live like any of them. "The Real Housewives" are enough to make you realize your emotional issues are minuscule. And "Vanderpump Rules" will leave you thinking your occasional potty mouth is nothing compared to the bleep every five seconds.

And when it comes to "The Bachelor," I mean, there's nothing more terrible when it comes to reality TV. Who dates 25 people at the same time and expects it to be normal? "Oh, I'm really jealous because I thought we had a connection, but he's going on dates with other girls." Then maybe don't go on a dating show because dating 20 or more people all at once isn't exactly going to work out. But I still watch every week. I sit on my couch with my Moe's Monday and carve two hours out of my night to watch which girls get send home (thank God Ben finally left Olivia stranded on an island, it was about time). I still get angry when one girl is being dumb or when another girl won't stop crying. I still care, for whatever reason. And I'm embarrassed to admit that I look forward to it every week (and I die over "The Bachelor" weddings that get aired on TV).

Although I don't get much out of watching reality TV, other than amazing fashion tips from Kim Kardashian, it's still nice to unwind after a long day at work or school, forget about my own problems for a while, and focus on the problems of the people on a TV screen for a few hours. So even though I probably shouldn't, I'll keep on watching my reality TV (until I officially run out of time and can't catch up).
