But, it's not about love.

The New Season Of 'The Bachelorette' Is Here
unrealitytv.co.uk

"The Bachelorette" will air tonight, May 23, for its 12th season, starring JoJo Fletcher. "The Bachelor" has spinoff shows like "Bachelor Pad" and "Bachelor in Paradise." Personally, I am a big fan myself, I even went to a taping of "After The Final Rose." Every season entertains the masses which is why it has been so popular since 2002.

The Monday night guilty pleasure is known for its host, Chris Harrison, infamous personalities and drama. Notice not one word is about love? That's because it isn't. We live for the crazy men and women who show up the first night already in love with a person they haven't even met. We live for the catty fights between the girls and the passive aggressive comments among the guys. We love/hate that one person every season who is "totally not right" for the bachelor/bachelorette -- that's because they entertain. Without them, it would just be boring. I hope I am just stating the obvious by saying the show is not about love.

Somehow we are all accepting of a person dating 24 or more people without question. We don't bat an eye that a person kisses one person one minute, and then moves on to the next within a few other minutes. The hype is built up to an engagement between two people who have only been on a few dates together. Maybe some of us keep coming back in hopes for a happy ending, but mostly for the drama it brings.

Out of the 30 seasons, only five couples have ended up married. The reality hits the couple after months of the most unbelievable dates that only happen in movies. The "winner" also has to watch every single person their new fiancé kissed throughout their time there. If that doesn't send a rift through the relationship, I don't know what does. The most famous couple, Trista and Ryan, have had two kids and have been married for 10 years. They were featured on a show called "Marriage Bootcamp," where couples would go to fix their broken marriage. Whether they did it for money or to help their marriage, it is another entertainment route for love.

The taping of "After the Final Rose" was everything a "Bachelor" fan hopes for. You clap on command and boo on cue. I went to the taping of Ben, and scandalous Courtney. The live taping was full of drama, and this time, the villain ended up with the heart of the beloved bachelor. Obviously, they did not end up together, and Ben was even rumored to be dating Kris Jenner. "The Bachelor" is just another source of entertainment for us. I watch it for the laughs and not the love.

So, for all you drama enthusiasts, "Bachelor Monday" is now in full swing. JoJo Fletcher, a fan favorite from Ben's season, will host 26 men vouching for her heart. This season features a U.S. Marine, a Canadian, an erectile dysfunction specialist and Santa Clause. The runner up will be able to get her chance at "love." I'm sure it will be a season filled with jealous men and interesting characters.

So, everyone get their bachelor viewing parties ready because another season is on its way. We can't wait for all the gifs it will bring this season. Happy Bachelorette Monday!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
