The "Right Reasons" To Go On The Bachelor

It's not just for love.

The "Right Reasons" To Go On The Bachelor
facebook.com

On every season of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, a contestant approaches the lead, and tells them that another contestant is not there "for the right reasons". This means that that contestant may not be there to fall in love with the lead. This statement is insane for a just few reasons, so if you're planning to go onto one of these shows, don't be that contestant.

It's not normal to enter into a relationship with someone who is dating about 24 other people at the same time, and expect to immediately fall in love with them. What is normal is to go on this show expecting to have a new experience; maybe to travel, maybe to make some friends, maybe to promote yourself or your business, or maybe to fall in love. Being open to anything is the right reason to go one of these shows and as a contestant, you should be open to all of it.

Don't be the contestant that wastes their limited amount of time with the lead talking about other people. If something really does concern you, just wait it out. Often, the person who says something to the lead ends up shooting themselves in the foot. Personally, I would only say something if we were down to the final few contestants and someone who truly concerned me was still there. Even then I would only talk about it if my foundation with the lead was solid and if they asked me to say something.

I know that feuds amongst the contestants are often drawn out in order to entertain the viewers, so if you want to be that contestant who is known as the "Right Reasons Police", just know that you're probably going to end up in at least a few memes.

The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
