11 Times 'The Bachelor' Accurately Depicted Real Life College Dating

And we know it's not the fantasy suite.

11 Times 'The Bachelor' Accurately Depicted Real Life College Dating
ABC

It's not called Reality TV for nothing, people.

"The Bachelor(ette)" gets a bad rap, but let's take a moment and recognize the (arguably select) times that the hit ABC show actually shares common struggles with the real dating world.

1. When you strut into the bar thinking you’re hot sh*t, realizing everyone else is hot(ter) sh*t.

Stop self-deprecating and start touting that confidence.

2. When your perfect outfit seems to be everyone else’s perfect outfit, too.

I know it took hours to decide on – and that you left your room a tornado-ridden disaster – but let your personality be what shines, not your little black red dress.

3. When you miss the memo and it’s not actually a costume party.

Don’t worry, even Elle Woods has been fooled a time or two. And apparently this girl.

4. When the person you’re dating doesn’t want to be exclusive.

There’s something so wrong (and red-flaggy) about this, but clearly someone’s not done playing the field. I have two words for that: buh bye.

5. When you’re excited to hang with your man, but then he invites his friends.

Is this even a date?

6. When girls gawk and obsess over any piece of eligible meat.

Ladies: you are worthy. Never settle for less. Breathing should never be enough of a qualification.

7. When you describe last night to your girlfriends the next morning.

The most dramatic ending in history!

8. When you get blatantly overlooked, and he chooses the obvious bioch instead of you.

It’s OK, America knows she’s not marriage material. We all know.

9. When girls want flowers.

Even if it’s just one. Did you hear me, boys? Flowers.

10. When you dress up unnecessarily, just to look cute.

Like why can’t rose ceremonies be sweatpant parties? #redefinesexy

11. When you talk about marriage plans before your first date.

Well, obviously not with him! But to anyone else who will listen (an who won’t tell): your girlfriends, your sisters, the guy next to you on the plane, and the good ol' empty passenger seat.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
