7 Signs You Are Bachelor Obsessed

(Or Maybe Just Ben Higgins)

While the rest of the world hates Mondays, it is your favorite day of the week.

Some may say it is solely because of Ben Higgins, but I believe the show itself has an indescribable addictive factor. That is, only the strong can defeat their other competitors fighting for love.

However, I am not one of those people, I think The Bachelor is great.

After actually contemplating reassembling my schedule in order to be home in time for The Bachelor, I realized my problem.

Whether you can admit it or not, you may be Bachelor obsessed, and here are the signs to decide whether you're totally addicted to this show:

You Will Not Be Bothered On Monday Nights

Homework can wait, it is time for The Bachelor. Your friends know better than to bother you from 6-8 p.m., but who I am kidding, your friends will be watching it, too.

You Develop Unrealistic Expectations Of Dating

Where is the hot tub? Where is the helicopter? Besides the elaborate dates, where are the other Ben Higgins of the world?

Chris Harrison Is Your Idol

You believe he could find a match for anyone, because would you really still be single with him around?

Pulling "A Lace" Is Now A Real Thing For You

You are using contestants as insults towards real people and saying things like, "Don't Lace it up." That's normal, right?

Getting Your Bachelor Bracket Right Each Week

You know enough about it, why not prove it?

You Advocate For The Fact That The Show Is NOT Fake

Real love exists, and television is real, don't be fooled otherwise. Look at those tears. There is no way those are fake.

Each Week You Are Craving More

The preview for next week is enough to keep The Bachelor on your mind until next Monday, only furthering your addiction.

In any case, The Bachelor is great and way too much fun to watch. Whether you are in it for Ben or all about that competitive vibe, your Bach obsession is expected. And if you haven't been hooked yet, well...

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
