For the most dramatic season yet.

10 Reasons Why You Should Be Watching This Season Of 'The Bachelorette'
ABC

You might have heard, but "The Bachelorette" is back! With Rachel Lindsay as the Bachelorette, this season is going good so far. It's already had its drama kickoff with DeMario's girlfriend showing up on the group date (talk about awkward) and the whole Lucas and Blake screaming match. Talk about dramatics! I would normally rank the guys in favorites or odds of winning, but I'd thought I would change it up and give a 4-1-1 on what's going on in ~the most dramatic season yet~

Here's my top 10 list of reasons why you should be watching "The Bachelorette" this season:

10. The dates.

Okay, the group dates so far have been FANTASTIC. Ashton and Mila, Rachel's squad from Nick's season, ELLEN DEGENERES? The producers are really stepping up their game. Or Rachel really has a "That 70's Show" addiction or wants to set up her friends with her castoffs. But seriously, the dates have been pretty awesome. I mean, male strippers? I'm not complaining. Alex can dance on me anytime.

9. Chris Harrison.

Oh, c'mon. He's our favorite whenever he comes on to say that the final rose is about to be given out, the date card gets read, or every time there's an unexpected house guest. He makes every season exciting and acts as God to the Bachelor/Bachelorette in helping them find love. Can I just meet Chris Harrison?

8. The drama.

I put this as number 8 because everyone hates drama but secretly loves it. The only reason why this show is popular is because of the drama. The producers exaggerate this show to an extent and in return it makes the show ten times better. Every twist and turn, gasp, screaming match, date stealer, saying "I love you" calls for the most dramatic season yet. Rachel's season has already had its fair share of drama but fortunately for all of you there's more to come.

7. The rose ceremonies.

This ties into the drama, but something about the rose ceremonies really leaves me on the edge of my seat. It's always funny to see what the guys are thinking as Rachel calls out a guy's name. When Blake was basically threatening to throw a temper tantrum if Lucas got a rose, I was actually borderline hysterical. The rose ceremonies are the most interesting because you get to see who stays and who leaves the mansion (and who wants Rachel the most).

6. Guessing who's going to be the next Bachelor.

It's too early to tell, but my money's on either Kenny or Josiah. Kenny most definitely, because I mean, he has a kid. Any guy with a kid is automatically swoon-worthy. It shows he's father material. If Rachel doesn't pick him, IDK what she's doing with her life. But every episode reveals another layer of him and the rest of the boys, so we'll see who's Bachelor worthy. Now Josiah...can he be my own personal Bachelor?

5. All the Bachelorette segments, like After the Final Rose or Men Tell All.

Is it just me or is this my favorite part of the show?!? The men tell all is especially funny because this is where the claws come out. No rules, the men are trashed, and people get to finally reveal what they wanted to say in episode two when someone spilled whiskey on another man's tie. When that day comes, I will be on my couch with a bowl of popcorn.

4. Twitter.

Every Monday night at 8, I open Twitter to start seeing the roasts coming. My personal favorite accounts are Sean Lowe and Catherine, husband and wife from Sean's season of "The Bachelor." They are absolutely hilarious because they poke fun at the contestants whenever they start acting crazy. Sheila the Chicken is also really funny, her owner being from Ben H's season when she put 'chicken enthusiast' as her job title. Bachelor Nation/Interns and Bachelor Burn Book crack me up as well. Twitter accounts just roast this show and I love it.

3. The craziness of it all.

This show is crazy. The dates are over-the-top. Finland? Really Nick? I'm looking at you. Every Monday night, I ask myself why do I watch this show? I tell myself that I should stop watching. But every Monday night at 8 p.m. Eastern, I'm right there in the middle of the craziness of Bachelor Nation.

2. Rachel.

Okay, who doesn't think Rachel is PERFECT? She is a lawyer, from Dallas (which is basically a requirement to be on this show I think), and she just wants someone to dance with in her living room. She is all of us. And on top of all that, she's the first black Bachelorette. She's making history!!!!

1. The MEN.


I saved this for number one, because well, the boys. Oh, the testosterone in the house can be too much with angry drunk guys. On the outside, it looks like a frat house, but when they're working out every day and in fashionable suits, I would never complain.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
