Because who doesn't want to see a 39-year-old woman date a bunch of guys in their 20s.

If there is one thing about quarantine that we can all agree on, it's that we all miss "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette."

If you say you don't, you're lying.

The next season of "The Bachelorette" will star 39-year-old Clare Crawley, and was supposed to begin on May 18, 2020. But due to coronavirus (COVID-19), like everything else in the world, that plan has changed.

There is no new official start date at the moment, but we know June will be the earliest, and even that seems unlikely.

For that reason, and many others, here are 13 reasons why Clare Crawley's season 16 of "The Bachelorette" could be a complete disaster:

1. It's already delayed.

Never a good start.

2. They might have to recast.

This would be unprecedented.

3. It might be CORONAVIRUS AND-OR QUARANTINED-THEMED?

What is this, "Love is Blind" season 2?

4. People are still hung up on Peter Weber and Hannah B.'s seasons.

It just doesn't seem like people are eager to get started on Clare's journey yet.

5. She's the oldest Bachelorette of all-time.

Which, great for her. Age isn't everything. But I'm already cringing at some possible fantasy-suite night scenarios.

6. The pictures of the originally selected cast were underwhelming.

Maybe it was just the backdrop, but still.

7. She wasn't even a fan favorite when she was a contestant on "The Bachelor."

Who was asking for this again??

8. It was time for a diverse bachelorette.

Great, she's old. But she's still white and blonde. ABC dropped the ball yet again.

9. Most of the casted contestants on her upcoming season are in their 20s.

If we're backing an older-contestant narrative, let's back it fully. Now it just seems like a gimmick.

10. She is SUPER outspoken.

This could go either way.

11. She dumped her fiance Benoit after 24 hours so we know her judgment is terrible.

Justice for Benoit!

12. She's been on four different bachelor shows and still hasn't found love, so why should we expect this to be any different?

Again, she doesn't scream "star" — so just who's idea was this?

13. It seems like Chris Harrison prefers seasons to be a "disaster" at this point.

Peter's season was a disaster and people loved it anyway, so maybe this is just the plan.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
