'Bachelor In Paradise' Is A Terrible Show

The Bachelor franchise needs to end.

The fifth season of Bachelor in Paradise has just ended, resulting in two engagements, and an endless amount of drama. What else is new when it comes to this show? The drama that is created for this six-week show might be even worse than the actual Bachelor show itself.

Typically I reserve my Monday nights during Bachelor season for the show itself. Even if I'm at work during the summer, I still find time to watch the show. However, this year I couldn't bring myself to watch Bachelor in Paradise.

Maybe, it was the cast that they had on the show this season. I wasn't particularly fond of listening to Krystal's voice for another month and a half. I definitely couldn't watch Jordan and his "professionality" saunter across a Mexican beach "looking for love".

During one of the episodes that I did catch, I watched as Colton, who left The Bachelorette because he was still in love with Tia, play with multiple girls emotions. What's even worse is that Tia was doing the same thing to Colton. In the end, they didn't get together, but Bachelor In Paradise has instead produced the next Bachelor, Colton.

No, it did not matter that Grocery Store Joe was in Mexico looking for love. Or that my absolute favorite, Bibiana, would have to face her ex again. It felt was too dramatized. Maybe because The Bachelorette seriously lacked drama this season.

The amount of produced storylines for this season did not appeal to me at all. It's the fact that the producers set certain people up, break others up, and create drama for the sake of TV. Yes, drama is good every once in a while, but not to the extent that they have used it.

The big headline this week with the season finale just having aired is one of the contestants fake being in love with another. Now, I didn't watch their relationship unfold on national television, but I can only assume these accusations are correct.

Apparently one of the couples that got engaged at the end of the show, the woman was only using the show and the man to promote her self-run business. To me, this is a headline that makes me laugh. Of course, a headline like this would make national news the day after the show aired because the finale itself wasn't drama filled enough.

I really do enjoy The Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. It's fun trying to guess which contestant they'll pick at the end. However, Bachelor in Paradise is on a whole other level.

Let me know when The Bachelor returns in January. Until then, I'll be trying to avoid all the news revolving around this terrible idea for a show.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza.

It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
