Oh, The Bachelorette. ABC's primetime television show that fills the judgmental void of merciless, gossipy, and entertainment-seeking women on Monday nights.

But before I gush about this beautiful guilty pleasure, let me get one thing straight.

I know what you're thinking, "Oh God, she's one of those."

Congratulations, you got me. I am one of those, and without shame of course.

And as someone who went from "I am never watching this" to "Oh my God, she has to choose Blake," I know that this show is dangerous - dangerously good.

Your mind says stop, but your eyes say go.

Your mind says "This show is actually terrible and scripted," but your heart says "I would be the bachelorette in a heartbeat."

So follow your heart, because this everlasting, up and down, constant contrast of emotions that Bachelorette viewers experience is what I like to call, true love.

Only Bachelorette watchers understand the emotional roller coasters that each season contains:

1. "I don't think I'll watch this season." *Throws a premier party*

2. "This show is complete trash!" *Eyes still glued on the TV* " ~~But I'm here for it ~~"

3. "You can't be trusted, you can't be trusted, you can't be trusted - MARRY HIM!!! - You can't be trusted..."

4. "Um...how is he still here?! Must be for the ratings? Must. Be."

5. "Who is her stylist and where can I get those outfits?!"

6. "This is the final rose tonight." Wow, your detective work is incredible, Chris Harrison, but let's save the detective work for later tonight, so we stop delaying my guilty pleasure please and ~~ thank you ~~.

7. "Wow, all this drama is so built up and I'm ~~over it~~!" *3 seconds later* "So, same time, next week, right?!"

We all have our guilty pleasures, for some it's chocolate, and for others, it's going through extreme measures to fit in all two hours a week of The Bachelorette. But no matter what your guilty pleasure is, sit back, relax, andenjoy your completely satisfying, short, and ~~healthy~~ break from reality.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
