Why Corinne Has Stolen My Heart

Complain about her all you want, but she's still here (and probably ordering some room service)

Why Corinne Has Stolen My Heart
E Online

With each new year comes a new season of The Bachelor- a new chance to find love, and most importantly, another Bachelor villain. We have delved through many different versions of this ever present character on the show throughout its numerous seasons, finding among my favorites: a wide mouthed girl who “just liked to read” and could probably stick an entire apple in her mouth (Olivia), a not-so-friendly “Chad-Bear,” and my personal favorite, Tierra, who will always be famous for her exclamation “no one will EVER take my sparkle away!” as she was ushered into the van that would take her off of the show. Because of course, you can take the girl out of The Bachelor, but you can never take the sparkle out of the girl.

This season, we follow Corinne (among another 25 girls, but lets be honest, it’s all about Corinne) as she leaves the warm embrace of her nanny Raquel and her beloved cheese pasta to look for love. Yes, you read that right. Corinne has a nanny. She’s 21, supposedly helps run her family's multimillion dollar company (or is it just a Sims game her parents set her up with?) from a balcony in Miami, and she has every single girl on that show in quite a dither.

Throughout most seasons of The Bachelor, I have always sided with the majority, agreeing that whoever the villain is should just leave and go back to their ridiculous life without getting in the way of our television. However, this year is different. I can’t believe I am saying this, but I actually LIKE Corinne.

This could be because of the fact that I don’t love any of the other girls on the show, and I don’t feel the need to root for anyone who is up against her. But it could also be because she is actually really, really funny.

Let us begin with the fact that Corinne actually rented a bouncy house for the day just for her and Nick to play in. Unlike most contestants, she hasn't shared letters from her hometown, nor any sappy stories about a past life in two seconds while the bachelor in question tries to make out with her; no- Corinne just wants to bounce around in a pink castle for fifteen minutes with the guy of her dreams- on national television, no less.

She just doesn’t seem to care what other people think. On one hand, you could definitely see this as immature and selfish, and even a lot a bit spoiled. But, I’ll just be completely honest. I don’t watch the Bachelor so that I can be sappy about watching people “find love.” It’s a TV show. It’s not real. And that is precisely why it is so entertaining- because every year, we watch 30 women take something that is so obviously fake and make it into their entire lives. They stay in this fairy tale mansion, never eat anything, cry on a daily basis, and become best friends with all the other girls that are vying for the same guy, always victimizing the one girl that just doesn’t buy it.

And Corinne is definitely not buying into it.

A couple weeks ago, instead of attending the rose ceremony, she went to bed. Everyone was appalled. I sat there and thought- wow, I really should hate her, but I just can’t. Because if I was on that show, and I already had the rose, I probably would have wanted to go to bed too. Last night, she took a bath, and then proceeded to order cheesecake, a steak, chicken wings, and a salad. While she was munching away and sipping on a glass of wine, the other girls were staring helplessly out the window while Nick went on his first one on one date of the week. It was just a bit sad, because while Corinne may be crazy, she's taking advantage of her opportunities. She’s not obsessing over the other girls, and she is definitely enjoying herself.

I think we can all take a little lesson from her.

Sure, she's insane- and has self confidence (or should I say ego) only comparable to those who well, go on The Bachelor. No one her age should ever have a nanny, and she is very spoiled. But she’s cutting her losses. She’s not obsessing over being best friends with her competitors. She's actually eating and sleeping- something that, quite frankly, seems far too rare on the Bachelor. And somehow, she has also become one of Nick’s favorites. She definitely has the emotional intelligence of a infant. But she’s living it up.

So, I just can't hate her- and maybe, just maybe she has a reason to stay.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
