The Bachelor Who Did It Right

The Bachelor Who Did It Right

In celebration of the newest season, I'm going to hop on the bandwagon and talk about The Bachelor.

I had no idea what this show was until last year when it was Ben Higgin's season (and God bless television for bringing us this gorgeous man).

Anyway, I loved the show and I thought it was hilarious. I even tuned in to the next season of The Bachelorette and I was immediately hooked! I didn't think too far into details and didn't understand why people hated it so much. I

get it now, though. It can come off as a pretty disgusting show. Why would anyone want to find love and have their relationship based on some type of weird competition?

Hear me out, because I think it's pretty weird, too. I wouldn't want the guy that I'm dating also seeing, and potentially being physical with, another woman--let alone twenty-five women! That just screams problems in the long run. Especially knowing that multiple bachelors and bachelorettes fell in love with multiple women throughout the season.. I don't understand how the marriage can be successful unless the partners are extremely forgiving and kind.

Anyway, I started to be really against the show, until I watched Sean Lowe's season. I didn't know anything about him, but I do know that he has a seemingly (as seen through the media) successful marriage and a beautiful baby boy. I started to do some research on him and his family, and it turns out, in my opinion, that they did things the right way. He fell in love, they got engaged, and they publicly waited until marriage to have sex.

Watch this video to understand what I'm talking about:


I wanted to praise Sean Lowe for doing what I feel like every Bachelor should do. I feel like the way he and his wife, Catherine, went about things are the reason why they seem so happy.

Get rid of the other women, and the crazy unrealistic dates--and the competition--,and focus on the bigger picture. He wanted love and he kept his cool the entire time, knowing what would most glorify God.

Now, that's #relationshipgoals.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
