Nick Is The New Bachelor

And I am not happy about it.

Nick Is The New Bachelor
In Touch Weekly

Any devoted "Bachelorette" fans know who Nick Viall is; he's the guy who somehow always seems to come in second and is known for his passionate make out sessions. After being rejected by Andi Dorfman in favor of Josh Murray (obvious choice) Nick went on "After the Final Rose" and proceeded to ask Andi why she would "make love to him" and "do finance stuff" with him if she wasn't going to choose him. Did you just gag? Because I certainly did. Dude, no one wants to hear about the Fantasy Suite, that's why there aren't any cameras in there! (But seriously, if you want to read more about their Fantasy Suite experience, Andi wrote about it in her tell all book It's Not Okay, I highly recommend it).

That public humiliation wasn't enough for our good friend Nick. He of course returned as a suitor on Kaitlyn Bristowe's season and his claim to fame there was having sex with her extremely early on in the season. My only problem with this incident is that she was slut-shamed while he received nowhere near the same amount of scrutiny. But again, he caused problems in the house with the other men and did some weird things with his tongue during explicit kissing scenes. He was then dumped again and AGAIN went on "After the Final Rose" and threw a whole fit that Kaitlyn led him on. Does he not realize that is the literal point of the show? 25 men are dating one woman, 24 of those men are inevitably going to get led on.

On this season of "Bachelor in Paradise" Nick returned yet again as 35-year-old single man with a new haircut and a seemingly calmer and more likable personality. He without a doubt is less gross and less weird on his third time around, but he will never be one of my favorites. This is why when it was recently announced that Nick would be the next Bachelor I absolutely lost it. No like seriously, I had to leave the silent floor of the library because I couldn't stop freaking out and had to call my mom to talk it through with her.

Why am I so unhappy about Nick? First of all this is his fourth time appearing in the series, like does he have some magical job that lets him take crazy amounts of time off to find love and travel the world? Second of all he's kind of old and most of the women who come on the show are 10 years younger than him. Third of all, he's weird and mean! He publicly humiliated Andi, who is one of my favorite people ever I might add, and pulled the same odd moves on Kaitlyn and Andi. I would prefer to not watch the same creepy pick up lines for the thousandth times.

That being said I am obviously going to watch this season because what else do I do with my time. Also, I am praying Andi makes a cameo. I did Instagram direct message her asking if she will be making an appearance, stay tuned to see if she responds!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
