Why Ben And Lauren Aren't The Perfect Couple

Contrary to what the media has been telling us, I refuse to accept that Ben and Lauren are the "perfect couple." Thats right- I'm calling it. I thought Ben made a mistake from the moment JoJo stepped out of the limo first. I continued to believe it when JoJo was debating spending her life with Robbie, who may or may not be a doll, and Jordan, who may or may not be attracted to Robbie.

I was able to solidify my decision within the first episode of their new ~~poorly scripted~~ hit reality show on Freeform, Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After. Looks like Instagram endorsements for eatable hair products aren't quite paying the bills.

If you haven't tuned into this spinoff, don't bother. I'll summarize it here for you.

Ben doesn't want to get married

Well, he says he wants to get married, but the main plot of every episode I've endured thus far is that he doesn't want to rush into things. But Lauren's been poking holes in condoms for months so this is a difference in opinion between the two.

Lauren is bored AF after moving to Denver

After the bachelor, Lauren left her life in LA to play pranks on Ben while he's away at work.

The Twins are in every episode

And I'm still wondering which one is which. Poor Ben probably has no clue either and he dated both of them. So did these girls move to Denver too or do they just drive up once a week when they're filming. Lmk Freeform.

Obviously, they paid Chad to make a cameo

It wouldn't be a bachelor franchise without the totally unexpected, shocking, plot twist when the villain shows up. He leaves after like 5 minutes it was the lamest thing to ever happen on TV. Chris Soules was featured hitting on the twins throughout this episode too. He probably hasn't figured out there's two of them.

The season will probs end in an ABC paid for wedding

That could be turned into a fun drinking game. Take a shot every time a former bachelor contestant cries. Take a shot every time Ben cries. Call an ambulance to get your stomach pumped before you start the game as a cautionary measure.

Ben should have picked JoJo

Watch first episode. I rest my case.

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.
