My Thoughts On "The Bachelorette" Week One

WetPaint

I have been a "Bachelor/Bachelorette" fan for years now.

Every year I fill out my Desiree Hartsock bracket and compete with my best friends to see who is the biggest "Bachelor/Bachelorette" superfan.

When JoJo Fletcher first stepped out of the limo on Ben's season of "The Bachelor," I knew instantly she would be my favorite.

From the first episode of Ben's season, I knew Ben and Lauren B. would end up together, but that didn't stop me from loving JoJo.

I was as excited as everyone when JoJo was announced as the Bachelorette. This hilarious "unicorn" is looking for love and deserves the best man out there.

About an hour before the premiere, I filled out my bracket according to ABC's Contestant Bios.

My favorite men before the start of the first episode were: Jordan, Alex, Ali, Chad, Derek, Chase and Wells.

Let us take a moment of appreciation for the most dreamy and perfect contestant of all: Derek.

I may be a little biased since he is from Iowa, but look at those beautiful blue eyes. Derek is a 29-year-old commercial banker who lives in Ft. Lauderdale. (Looking to date someone 10 years younger?)

Derek was a three time All-American track star from Wartburg College located in Waverly, Iowa, a well-known rival of my college. (I will put aside my hate for Wartburg for now.)

One of Derek's favorite movies is "Field of Dreams." Good pick, Iowa boy.

It is pretty obvious that I hope Derek makes it far, but not far enough and can be the new Bachelor. I also hope ABC will take my application even though I will only be 19.

As the episode started, JoJo got to sit down with previous Bachelorettes Kaitlyn Bristowe, Desiree Hartstock Siegfried and Ali Fedotowsky and discuss her new role as the Bachelorette.

On a separate note, when are Kaitlyn and Shawn going to tie the knot?

It has been a year since Kaitlyn took her place on "The Bachelorette" and decided to get engaged to Shawn. They are so in love and have the funniest Snapchat videos. Can we please have a wedding?!

JoJo looks gorgeous as always, and it is time to meet the men.

It became pretty clear who the forerunners were just by their entrances. A unicorn? Obviously you have won JoJo's heart.

And then there were these guys...

James Taylor, 29, singer-songwriter.

Nick B., 33, electrical engineer.

Jonathan, 29, technical sales rep.

While all the men waited for JoJo, the men go the party started. I mean the Rose Ceremony starts at sunset and ends at sunrise. These men need something to keep them awake and talkative.

But some of the men took it far ... too far.

JoJo obviously caught on to all the drunkenness and wasn't very pleased. She still got a good laugh at it though.

And then there was this guy, Daniel. When he wasn't half naked in a man thong, he was chugging drinks and jumping in the pool.

He even had the nerve to ask JoJo if she had even been on the Internet lately because she didn't think his "Damn JoJo" joke was funny. Back at it again with the insults, Daniel.

We found out Chad will be this season's villain. Thanks a lot Chad, you ruined my bracket.

And to make things worse, Will got the great idea that he needed to ask JoJo for a kiss using a fortune teller. Could it be more obvious that she hated it?

There were indeed some good moments though, such as Alex showing off his mad marine skills. (Could he be any hotter?)

We also got to experience the kiss heard around the world as JoJo gave Jordan the first impression rose. Just marry him already.

After the night JoJo had, it was time for the Rose Ceremony. Then she could sleep.

But to our surprise Jake "please stop interrupting me" Pavelka showed up. Great. I can just imagine Vienna crying in a corner watching this.

But thank the Bachelor Nation gods because he was only there to give JoJo some final advice before she started the rose ceremony.

Let us take a moment for our fallen contestants.

Sal, 28, operations manager.

Jake, 27, landscape architect.

Coley, 27, real estate consultant.

Peter, 26, staffing agency manager.

Nick S., 26, software salesman.

Jonathan, 29, technical sales rep.

See you next week.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

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.

5. In the words of Lorelai Gilmore "Coffee, Coffee, Coffee"

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

What does the world outside the library look like?

Can I read this entire book tonight?

I should have gone to class more often.

Did the professor even teach this?

What is the lowest grade I can get on this exam and still pass the class?

Should I just drop out of school now?

Finals are ruining Christmas.

Just wrote three sentences so time for a break.

Need. More. Coffee.

What is sleep?

I'm too stupid for college.

Brain hurts.

Time for a Facebook Break.

I think I'm dying.

When will I ever need this information in the real world?

I can't read any of my notes.

I need my mom.

When was the last time I showered?

I need study snacks.

The struggle is so real right now.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

1. I'm so tired. I need a nap. Maybe I can sleep with my eyes open in class? Or pretend I'm not napping?

2. We have a test today? Why didn't anyone tell me? Did I know this?!

3. Can I quit school yet? It's only October, and I need a vacation.

4. The struggle is so real.

5. I'm so broke. SOS.

6. Stressed? Eat everything you own in your pantry and stuff your face with all your feelings.

7. "Did we have anything due in class today? Homework? Quiz? Test?" "Not that I know of..."

8. I need food. Where is the closest place to get food? I need it stat.

9. This is the longest day of my life. I need a drink, or two, or three.

10. Sleep? What is sleep? What a foreign concept.

11. When someone suggests going and studying in the library, let alone studying in general.

12. When the cafeteria or student center is packed and you can't find a seat anywhere so you literally have to sit in an abandoned corner.

13. When you see someone you used to hook up with. They see you, and approach you; so you have to pretend like everything is normal.

14. When you get your exam and realize you didn't study as much as you should have.

15. When you crush it on an exam or paper that you totally bullshitted.

16. I need a grande, extra strong coffee to get me through today.

17. When the professor announces you have a project due the following week with no instruction on what it's on and how to do it.

18. Is it Friday yet? Where's the weekend when you need it most?

19. It's freezing in here. I feel like I'm sitting in an igloo. I should have brought a jacket or worn long pants.

20. Did I remember my book? Damn, I forgot the book, and of course I need it for that quiz in class.

21. I would pay a million dollars to not go to class today; or actually never again.

22. I need a hoverboard to ride to class. Maybe then I wouldn't be running 15 minutes late to class every day.

23. Oh she/he's cute! I wonder if they're single. Who are they texting? They're BF/GF? I wonder if they think I'm cute. Could they be a potential new bae?

24. Why is there never any parking? I pay thousands of dollars a year for one parking spot to be open.

25. When it feels like you've been in class for an hour and you look at your phone and it has only been five minutes (I'm crying on the inside).

26. When the professor asks if there are any more questions at the end of class and someone raises their hand.
