My Love-Hate Relationship With 'The Bachelor'

Although Colton's season is my first season watch, boy do I have a lot to say.

Opinions from a first time viewer.

So Much Personality...

Giphy

Having so many women of all different personalities in one home creates catfights. Although it can be entertaining at times, these girls really play the show like a game at times.

The Outfits

Giphy

I love seeing how the women dress. From the first day to rose ceremonies, some of these dresses are just breath-taking.

Favorites

Hannah B. (beast) is my girl and I stand behind her. There is only room for one beauty queen

Seeing girls I enjoyed go home, was so sad, but seeing others go home put a little smirk on my face.

Women Tell All

Giphy

Ok, the constant fights between Demi and Courtney... probably a fight Courtney will never win.

Get her with your heel, Demi.

Cassie

Giphy

I liked Cassie on the first episode or two, but as the show progressed she seemed to be pulling away. With episode 9 and Cassie "not being able to get there with Colton" was so sad for him, but I knew she was flakey.

Bye Cassie.

The Girls Who Walk Away

Giphy

I do have mixed feelings about Cassie walking away; however, the girls who walk away because of not being ready or being true to themselves speaks a lot on their character. I do believe there may be girls who do play the show as a game and fool themselves with the traveling world to "fall in love"

The Love

Giphy

Despite fighting with each other and dating the same man, the girls do make life long friendships and truly care for one another.

One on One

Giphy

One on one dates almost seemed so surreal to me. How could you not fall in love in those types of settings? All I want to know is when Colton is taking me on a date.

At the end of the day, the not so favorite parts didn't out-weigh the fact that I couldn't keep my eyes off of Colton's future Mrs.

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.
