14 Bachelor Phrases And What They Really Mean
Blogspot

Though they'd never give way to the unloving reality that the show may bring, I've started to catch on. The words they say have entirely different meanings than we'd think; after this, you won't be able to watch in the same way again.

1. "On this journey..."

Are you on a journey to find your true love? Or is this a road that'll lead you to fame, Instagram followers, and a chance to promote teeth whiteners?

2. "We have this amazing connection."

You won't hear anyone say this unless they had been making out the entire night. Because the strength of a connection is directly correlated to the length of the make out sessions.

3. "I'm excited about her/him."


They realized the person they talked to was pretty cool but will probably send them home within the next two episodes. They should've had a better "connection."

4. "I don't even know why I'm here."

The only reason this chick is complaining is because she's currently not having a conversation with Nick (or whoever the bachelor may be). She really means, "Why isn't he paying more attention to me?"

5. "We just have so much chemistry."


Chemistry is code for "I want to have sex with them" and "Chris Harrison, where the F is my fantasy suite card? Whatever...I'll just make my own (I'm looking at you, Kaitlyn and Nick)."

6. "Soul searching..."

Usually going hand-in-hand with being "on this journey," soul searching means nothing. When Brad Womack was the bachelor for the second time, he used this phrase in every interview he gave. In his case, it means that he still couldn't find a woman in between his seasons so he became desperate.

7. "This will be the most dramatic episode of "The Bachelor/Bachelorette" yet."

You can thank Chris Harrison for this phrase. After saying for nine consecutive episodes that each was the most dramatic, he murdered the word. Dramatic means nothing anymore. It's now a lazy attempt at marketing for the show.

8. "This will be the most controversial episode of "The Bachelor/Bachelorette" yet."

See number seven if you have any confusion. Once again...thanks, Chris.

9. "Can I steal you for a second?"

The contestants say this on the outside but, on the inside, they're gloating and thinking, "Bye, b*itch."

10. Being there for the right reasons.


There are always a couple contestants that are too young (COUGH—Corinne) or just seem ingenuine in their intentions. The second the house suspects that a person isn't there for the right reasons, they will have an episode basically dedicated to sh*t talking about that bachelor or bachelorette.

11. "I have a really hard time opening up to people."

What did you expect coming onto the show? "You like the color blue? Me too! Let's get married." No. This phrase hints that they are probably just waiting for the right time to share their story, attempting to become the front runner.

12. "That was the hardest decision I've ever had to make."

This is often said by the bachelor or bachelorette right before they're laughing and clinking champagne glasses with attractive contestants surrounding them thirty seconds later.

13. "I really think my wife/ husband is in this room."

Damn, youz a 10.

14. "I didn't come here to make friends."

That girl had been thinking up ways to be the known villain on the season since she was told she was going to be on the show.


Catch all these cliche sayings and more while you watch the trainwrecks we all love, "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette".

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.
