20 Quotes You Are Guaranteed To Hear If Your Dad Watches ‘The Bachelorette’ With You

@bacheloretteabc

If you're anything like me, Mondays hold a special place in my heart. For two hours, I know I can relax and live through the lives of people on TV on their journey to find love. Yes, ABC's "The Bachelorette" is incredibly dramatic and seems a little scripted at some points, but it is undeniably entertaining.

This summer, now that I am home from college, my Monday nights watching this show have not been as sacred. Living with a younger brother and a father who both like to make fun of the show, I find myself having to pause and rewind more than I would like. Although they go on and on about how "stupid" they think the show is, they sure do make a lot of comments!

For me, it adds to the entertainment. Here are just a few things they say while the show is on:

"How many of them are left now?"

Boston Globe

As if he is going to listen anyway.

"Dad the Rose Ceremony is at the end of this episode, you'll see how many she picks then."

"Oh, this comes on EVERY Monday?"

@bacheloretteabc

This should not be surprising to you. Just let me watch my show.

"This show is SOO dumb."

MSN

*10 mins later*

"NOOO I liked that guy!"

"She's from the south, I bet she'll go for that one with an accent."

Bustle

You really cannot deny that southern charm.

"His pants are way too tight!"

Buzzfeed

You're just mad that you couldn't pull them off like he does.

"How is it you can remember all their names and occupations, but you complain about how hard it is to study for college tests?"

Inquisitr

This is so much different.

"Is that the one she went sky diving with?"

Giphy

Me: "No..."

Dad: "Oh, well, they all look the same."

"This show still has an hour left?"

Toronto Star

Could you just go watch something else in your room and let me have my show?

"Is that the pilot?"

Insider

Yes, Dad, we like him.

"Is that the singer?"

TV Insider

Yes, duh!

"What does that one do again?"

Vulture

Shhhh!

"Where are they now?"

@alabamahannah

Would you just pay attention?

"I can't believe they are allowed to show all of that on TV."

Giphy

It's 2019, dad.

"You should be on this show, but I want to pick the guys on there."

Giphy

That's not really how it works.

"Oh, you can tell his momma does not buy it."

ABC News

Neither does his sister ...

"She doesn't like him, I can tell."

Giphy

We are all here for a little drama.

"I bet he'll get a rose."

Giphy

Dad knows best.

"She likes when they compliment her like that."

Giphy

Doesn't every girl?

"Has she kissed every guy on here?"

Giphy

Yeah ... maybe.

"How do you even like this stuff?"

Giphy

Because how could you not?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.
