Why Luke Needs To Be The Next 'Bachelor'

It's not just because he's handsome, but that helps.

Why Luke Needs To Be The Next 'Bachelor'

JoJo's season of "The Bachelorette" has brought more than a handful of charming men to America's attention. And with the finale quickly approaching, we all want to know: Who will be the next "Bachelor?"

Last week's episode saw fan-favorite -- and my personal favorite -- Luke Pell get sent home moments after professing his love for JoJo. Heartbroken and stunned, Luke left the show with his heart in his hands and no one to give it to. It was perhaps the most difficult goodbye this season had to show.

But if you ask me, Luke deserves another shot at finding love. Here's why Luke needs to be the next "Bachelor:"

1. He's a hopeless romantic.

After climbing into the car that would take him home, Luke stared at the camera and said, "I was in love with her; but I never got the chance to love her, and that's what hurts the most." I'll admit, that's when my heart broke for him, and I may have shed a tear or two. Luke saw forever with JoJo, and, unfortunately, she didn't. He wanted everything to be perfect, right down to the moment he told her he loved her-- and in the end, it turned out he held back by doing so, and thus he was sent home.

2. He's a handsome country boy.

Let's face it: "The Bachelor" has a type when it comes to casting. They look for an All-American country boy for America to fall in love with. Look at Sean Lowe, Ben Higgins, Brad Womack, Jake Pavelka, Chris Soules...the list goes on. Luke fits in perfectly with this type-casting and even takes it in a slightly different direction with his rugged charm.

3. He was a fan favorite.



Everyone was rooting for Luke. He is just a likable guy. Crowning him the next Bachelor would not only boost ratings but also give America another chance to watch him fall in love, and perhaps finally get the happily ever after he deserves.

4. He still wants to find love.

In an interview with "The Hollywood Reporter," Luke said, "I would be excited about [being "The Bachelor"]. I’ve seen firsthand that it worked, going through this whole process with JoJo and I. I was in love with her. It happened so fast, but it was real at the same time. It was real for us and it was real for me. So, I would be open to it again because I know it works." Being on "The Bachelorette" hasn't made Luke cynical, and it hasn't turned him off to being in love. He still wants to find someone to spend the rest of his life with, and he genuinely believes he could do that as the next "Bachelor."


I'm all for giving Luke the chance. He's open and genuine, and America just really seems to like him. I think following him on the second part of his journey to love will be heartbreaking, overwhelming, but ultimately heartwarming and joyous in the end. Here's hoping.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
