4 Thoughts I Had When The New Bachelor Was Announced

I couldn't decide if I loved or hated this announcement.

Bachelorette Boys

We met Colton Underwood in Becca Kufrin's season of "The Bachelorette." A large part of the series was focused on the innocence of Colton. Walking into a rose ceremony that could've brought him a fantasy suite, he pulled aside Chris Harrison to discuss whether or not he was expected to do anything that night. Sadly, Colton was sent home at that rose ceremony and got to keep his "innocence!"

We soon got to see a new side of Colton as we entered Sayulita, Mexico for "Bachelor in Paradise." They showcased him as somewhat of a bad guy, taking way too long to give Tia a straight answer regarding their relationship. A couple episodes later, Colton finally asks Tia out, and they make it official. And soon after, all that goes away! Now Colton is going to be the Bachelor, and I think Bachelor Nation has a lot of mixed emotions!

1. Why not Blake?!

Watch and cry with me as we reminisce on how perfect Blake was. He was perfect for Becca, and after being rejected he was perfect for the next Bachelor!

2. Tia???

Tia and Colton's end on "The Bachelor In Paradise" was a little confusing. Did he still have feelings? Is he completely heartless? Bachelor Nation fell in love with their relationship during the paradise season, how are we supposed to be open to him in new relationships now?!

3. Are you sure he's ready?

Throughout the entire "Bachelor In Paradise" season, Colton struggled with moving on from Becca and being able to start a new relationship with Tia. If he left the show because he wasn't ready for Tia, how will he be ready for the eager cast of girls on the new season?

4. I guess it isn't the end of the world.

Colton is undeniably cute, and, as we saw from his hometown date, he is an incredibly kind and caring person dedicated to serving others. Maybe he wasn't Bachelor Nation's first choice, but it's not all bad!

Although my initial reactions were a little rough, I finally eased into the idea of Colton being the next Bachelor. There is drama in every choice made for the show, so I can't wait to see how the new season unfolds in 2019!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
