And The Next Bachelor Is...

Nick Viall gets ANOTHER shot at love.

And The Next Bachelor Is...

On last week's episode of "After Paradise" (the talkshow that airs after "Bachelor in Paradise") the newest bachelor was announced, and let's just say people aren't happy. The latest lucky guy to win a shot at love is Nick Viall, and he is no stranger to "The Bachelor" franchise. Though this will be his first time being the sole object of 20 plus women's affection, Viall previously appeared on Andi Dorfman's and Kaitlyn Bristowe's seasons of "The Bachelorette" and is currently a contestant on "Bachelor in Paradise." Yes, you read that right, Nick's season of "The Bachelor" will be his fourth time on a "Bachelor" show.

So why are people pissed? Like most bachelors, Nick was a previous contestant on "The Bachelorette" and had his heart broken on national television (which he has graciously reminded us of about 300 times on this season of "Bachelor in Paradise"). So he's the perfect candidate, right? Wrong! Viall is currently a contestant on "Bachelor in Paradise" and was shown in a teaser for this week's finale picking out a ring for his girlfriend on the show Jen Saviano (who we first saw on Ben Higgins' season of "The Bachelor"). This one really made me mad because I loved Jen and Nick and was very excited to see what would happen with them on the finale. But sadly, the surprise is gone. Unless Nick plans on being the first ever bachelor that's already engaged?!? No? Ok, worth a shot.

Another huge upset for "Bachelor" fans was Viall being picked over presumed front-runners Chase McNary and Luke Pell (who both made it to the final three in Joelle "JoJo" Fletcher's season of "The Bachelorette" only to lose to ex-football pro Jordan Rogers). Relatable, yet somewhat boring, McNary and corny, lover boy Pell would have made perfect bachelors, so why weren't they picked? When asked about the matter by People, Chris Harrison said, "He has just become that perennial, second place guy who wants to find love and is as sincere, if not more sincere, than anybody about finding it. It's about giving him his chance to find love. Who deserves it more than him?"

(Luke Pell)

Well said Chris, but this hasn't stopped the social media universe from exploding with complaints. Vent away people but I don't think we'll be able to pull a Caila Quinn with this one. (Incase you don't keep up with all the hot, "Bachelor" gossip, Quinn was rumored to be the next bachelorette after losing to Lauren Bushnell on Ben's season but was so disliked by the public she was replaced by everyone's favorite, JoJo.) I'm afraid for better or for worse, Nick Viall is our newest bachelor.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
