After 10 weeks of committing two hours of your life every Monday to watching Ben Higgins search for true love, "The Bachelor" season 20 came to an end last Monday. For three hours you stressed about who Ben would pick, screamed at the television every time he professed his love to both Lauren and JoJo, and shouted for joy when JoJo was named the Bachelorette. But then, Chris Harrison popped your bubble of Bachelor bliss and reminded you that next week "Dancing With The Stars" would replace the 8 p.m. time slot. How could the most dramatic season of "The Bachelor" be over? What will you do with your Monday nights? These are just a few of the struggles of no longer having Bachelor Monday.
1. Mondays Go Back To Being Just Mondays.
The Monday Blues were not as bad, when you have "The Bachelor" to look forward to. No matter how stressful that first day of the week might have been, you knew that it would end with you forgetting it all and enjoying your favorite show. Now, Mondays go back to being the worst and most painful day of the week.
2. Your Corkscrew Remains Lonely In Your Kitchen Drawer.
I'm sorry friend, you are no longer needed.....well I mean Mondays are still really hard so maybe I will need you. I think JoJo's mom would agree.
3. You Miss Ben.
After investing so much time into the personal life of Ben Higgins, you feel like you know him. You miss seeing him every Monday and cheering him on to find his future wife. It feels sad that you must rely only on social media now to get your Ben Higgins Fix.
4. Your Twitter Feed Is No Longer Ruled By @PrincessProbz.
If you are an avid watcher of "The Bachelor," you must also be following the hilariously accurate account Princess Problems. She tweets during the show, and you will be able to relate to every hilarious and accurate thing she writes. When The Bachelor ends, so does her live stream tweets that can actually be more entertaining than the actual show.
5. You Miss Your Monday Night Bonding Sessions With Your Girlfriends.
While you and your friends will always make time for each other, you miss having them all in one place every Monday night. The commentary you shared was always hilarious and it was the best way to end the night. Now, you don't have that set two hours every Monday to dish about the show and discuss how dreamy Ben is.
6. You Wonder If Chris Harrison Feels As Abandoned As You Do.
Seriously, what does Chris Harrison do when he's not on "The Bachelor"? Well, I guess he is already filming "The Bachelorette." But after that? Oh yeah, "Bachelor In Paradise." Wow, I need to sign up for that job.
7. You No Longer Have An Excuse To Procrastinate Your Homework.
Yes I know I have two tests and three papers due tomorrow, BUT "The Bachelor" is on! You can no longer justify watching two hours worth of television when you have homework you need to do....but I am sure you will find a way.
8. You Get Shocked When You See A Picture Of Ben And Lauren, But Then Remember He Picked Her.
Oh my God Ben and Lauren B. are on a date! Oh wait, he proposed to her. Where's the hot tub? Did they take a helicopter there? Will the end of this date involve the fantasy suite?
9. You Then Realize Ben Did Pick Someone And Your Chances Of Being With Him Are Officially Over.
Did a part of me always hope I could date Ben Higgins one day? You bet.
10. You Begin To Count Down The Days Until May 23.
I can't wait until I can watch JoJo on "The Bachelorette," as she fights to find another guy who can live up to the perfection that is Ben Higgins. It will be difficult, but I'll be there every Monday night guaranteed.
