"The Bachelor" Finale Thoughts And Recap
Hollywood News Daily

Missed last night’s episode? Don’t read this until you’ve seen it. (Spoiler alert)

The “dramatic” finale of The Bachelor concluded last night with Nick proposing to Vanessa, even though it wasn’t really shocking if you knew the news that Vanessa won the show had been leaked weeks ago. Still, even though I knew what would happen, I found myself heartbroken when Raven was sent home, just because she seemed to make Nick so happy and it was so obvious she wanted to be engaged to this man. Even on the after show when she talked to Nick, she seemed (slightly) pissed. I hope good things happen for her on Paradise this summer.

Though I saw Nick and Vanessa’s televised happy ending, I still have a couple of questions.

One: Will Nick and Vanessa last? This is a hard one to predict because there have been so many matches on this show that are hit-or-miss. Either they break up pretty quickly, or they go on to get married (Sean and Catherine are probably the best examples of this). It seemed to me, while I was watching Vanessa talk to Chris about her and Nick’s relationship, that there were definitely challenges in their way to make it as a couple. The fact that she lives in Canada, and he lives in the States is a biggie, but she did mention she’d move to California and start over again. Hm...did she mean it? What about the fact that they are both passionate, strong-willed people? This quality could work in their favor...or backfire right in their faces.

Two: Do they really love each other? Is love enough? Fans on Twitter pointed out last night that they thought the couple seemed tense and awkward on After the Final Rose. It makes me wonder if all those passionate emotions that came through during Nick’s proposal were actually heartfelt, or were they just for the audience? They didn’t sugarcoat things when revealing the realities of their relationship. I think some people might assume from that they are really struggling, but I personally think it might actually be a good sign. If they both have a more realistic view that they really didn’t get a chance to get to know one another on this show, then it might lead them to be more honest and open with one another, instead of just pretending they’re “so in love” right after being on a show like this.

And three: When can Corrine get her own spin-off show? It’s amazing how quickly my intense dislike for this girl turned into such love when she left the show. She was one of the only things that made this season entertaining (sorry any Nick-fans out there), and I have a special place in my heart for her sassiness, Raquel, and her dedicated descriptions of cheese pasta.

Overall, I’m happy for Nick and Vanessa, but I certainly have my doubts. Anyway, onto bigger and better things, because Rachel is going to kill it as the next Bachelorette. Only two more months!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
