Just broke it off with your old boo? Stepping back into the dating world after a few years of flying solo? Don't know the first thing about going on a date? Have no fear, "The Bachelor" contestants are here! This past winter, everyone's favorite guilty pleasure reality show, "The Bachelor," celebrated its 20-year anniversary, and boy, do we have a lot to be thankful for. Countless laughs, many ridiculously attractive men and – perhaps the most important of all – a wonderful array of dating tips. After all, "The Bachelor" is a completely realistic show featuring a close look at what dating really is like. Thank you, "Bachelor."

1. Remember to ask the right questions.

How much money do you have? When are we eating? Are you in love with me?

2. Always make an entrance.

Show your date you're not just anyone. He is lucky to be with you.

3. If your date takes you out to eat, be sure to keep to yourself when the meal is served.

Chances are, your date might also like the meal you ordered. By no means should you let them think you are sharing. You are not sharing. Keep to yourself during meal time and never go home hungry.

4. Hide yo wife, hide yo kids and hide yo emotions.

Your date stood you up? He called you the wrong name? Thinks you're 30 but you're actually 22? If you have to cry, make sure to go do it in a forest somewhere no one can see you. Thank you, Brittney.

(Or, in your limo.)

5 Keep it real.

People just want to know the real you. Hit them with truth and never look back.

6. Show your skills.

You can read backwards? Can put your left food behind your head? Know another language? Whatever your talent may be, show it off! Don't hold back!

(Spanish translation: "table...green")

7. Dates love gifts.

8. Be straight forward.

Is your date boring you? Would you rather be at home cuddling up with your dog and watching Netflix? Then get the heck out of there (but not before dessert comes)!

8. Be mysterious.

When your date asks a question, make sure you don't give an answer. Keep him guessing, and he'll practically be begging for a second date. Remember ladies, mysterious is sexy.

9. Be persistent.

Sometimes, guys just don't realize how great you are. (Foolish, I know.) But have no fear, that's nothing a little aggressive behavior can't fix! Find your inner Olivia, and show your date your crazy side. Go for the gold!

10. Always assume there is another woman (and do it quick).

11. Keep it cool when your date asks for a round two.

You totally go on dates all the time. It's no big deal. Honestly, whatever.

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.

winter

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.
