Although most people hate to admit it, you love The Bachelor. This show is what makes Monday nights bearable as there's nothing like watching thirty women fight on screen over one man. This is primetime entertainment for Americans. Will you accept this rose?

ABC

Tune into ABC Monday's at 8/7c for this season of The Bachelor.

Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise

How could we go multiple months at a time without the Bachelor? We can't. We need more. These spin offs give us so much more drama to binge watch. Here we go again.

Chris Harrison

Does anyone ever question why Chris Harrison hasn’t become the bachelor yet? Doesn’t he need to find love too? I give him props for putting up with all of this drama and for being one of the best show hosts of all time.

Dates

The Bachelor knows how to have the most extravagant dates anyone has ever seen. Private helicopter rides, bungee jumping, and performing with the Backstreet Boys are just some of the crazy dates the Bachelors have come up with.

Elimination

What’s better than the anticipation leading up to the next rose ceremony? Who’s going home tonight?!

Final rose

More people tune into the finale of the bachelor than any other episode of the show. Why? Because all we want to know is how it ends.

Goodbyes

"Ladies, take a moment and say your goodbyes." Viewers, get ready for A LOT of tears. After just one week, these ladies knew the bachelor was the one for them and now they are “heart-broken.”

Hometowns

Let’s see what these girls do in all of their small towns. Nothing like having a contestant’s dad crush her dreams, and a big brother to beat up the bachelor. Oh hometowns.

Intensity

Here’s to the few conversations that are actually serious on this show.

Jobs

Jumbotron operator, dog lover, chicken enthusiast, sorority recruiter, hipster, and pantsapreneur are some of the quite interesting jobs some of the contestants on the bachelor have had in the past. Where does ABC find these people? I am not sure.

Kisses

Endless kissing. There are the people who kiss night one, and the people who don’t kiss until episode 5.

Limos

We all await the night the women first get out of the limos. What will they look like? What will their first impression be? What are they going to do?

Monday Nights

Best night of the week. 8/7c, TV on, no interruptions, it’s time for The Bachelor.

Nation

If you watch the show, you’re a part of the bachelor nation. It’s like family.

Open relationships

Imagine dating 20+ people at one time. It's like "Oh you're dating him? But so am I."

Previews

Watching the previews at the beginning of the season, and trying to figure out by hair colors who makes it how long. Boy, I can’t wait to find out.

Qualifications

What makes a contestant suitable for the bachelor? Tune in to find out what the man wants.

Reality TV

The best part of the bachelor is that it’s real. These are real people, meeting on TV to find love. Craziness.

Spoilers

There’s always going to be those few people who look up who wins just so they know the entire time. Let me tell you, if you tell me who wins, I will not be a happy camper.

Traveling

Don’t lie, you wish you got to go to the places the contestants get to go. Paris, Italy, Mexico, Hawaii, Barbados, St. Lucia, Bali and endless other places.

Unnecessary drama

One of the best parts of the show is watching the girls and all the drama. Never-ending drama.

Viewing parties

Grab your friends, some popcorn and wine, you’re going to need to talk to people about the craziness on this show.

Will you accept this rose?

The most famous line of the show. Even if you don’t watch the bachelor, you know the line.

X-tra

What would the Bachelor be without the girls who come out of the limos in costumes? Sharks and brides on night one? Can you say crazy?

Your favorite villains

Just like every TV show, you need a sweetheart, minor actors, and most importantly the villains. Villains in the bachelor meaning the people we see as horrible while the bachelor sees none of it. My favorite villain from the show? The one and only Corrine Olympios of course. “I didn’t mean to offend anyone by taking that nap.”

Zoom

Does anyone else notice how fast the 9 weeks go? Good thing we have spin-offs! The countdown begins.

Here's to the people who continue to watch this show and the boy's journeys to find love. See you next Monday night on The Bachelor.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.
