An inside look into this years The Bachelor

New year, New Bachelor

America loves Nick, and I'm not talking about myself this time.

"The Bachelor" is by far one of the most controversial television series out, specifically because of the candidate this season. Whether you're discussing the fact that a man is dating multiple women at one time, women that all live in the same house on national television, or maybe you're talking about how Nick shouldn't be given another chance after his missed connections already. It doesn't matter if you're #teamNick or not, because I think everyone can love this season of The Bachelor.

Last week we saw 8 girls go home as the number went from 30, brand new and ready to impress, women to 22 excited and anxious young gals. This year is already started on a good foot. Lets talk about it.

First, 12, yes 12, of the women wore a red dress and on top of that nobody knows why. Some people say that red could be Nicks favorite color but if you ask me, I think there was a secret alliance made before the big season premiere.

Secondly, the more things change the more they stay the same. Doctors and dentists continue to overcrowd the selection of "wife-to-be's". Let's talk about the girls that made a less-than-rose worthy first impression. First there was the lovely Briana who was a surgical unit nurse that pulled out a latex glove and said 'bend over." Maybe a Colonoscopy isn't the best way to make a first impression.Then there was Ida Marie who made Nick participate in a trust fall. Their trust was quickly broken when she didn't receive a rose. Oh and Angela, who was one of the 'red dress gang'.

Thirdly, lets talk about Elizabeth, Nick's one night stand. Really I don't know what more I could say. Nine months before the show, Nick hooked up with one of the future contestants at a wedding. Of course at the time none of this was ever thought of so no harm, no foul. Liz received the last rose after her competing speech of "oh Nick I know that I didn't want you then but I really want you know and it not because i'll be on television I swear" (not the actual quote but probably her actual thoughts). All the while America sits at home trying to figure out the math behind that...

Lastly, and I did save the best for last, Shark Dolphin girl! Yeah I'm just as confused as you. Now,don't get me wrong, I love a good bold move by a lady just as much as the next guy. It'sjust, a dolphin, or shark, or whatever the heck it is (its a shark because it has gills) thats a very risky move. It doesn't matter how you feel though because she made a good enough impression to get a rose. In her own words, "I'm just glad I didn't wear a red dress"

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.
