We All Need To Be A Bit More Like Chad

For once in our lives, let's just be honest.

We All Need To Be A Bit More Like Chad

Dear anyone who "hated" Chad,

I know what you're thinking, but there is no way that I'm the only person that was team Chad.

Chad Johnson was the realest thing that ever happened to the Bachelorette. How could you have hated someone who did nothing but tell the truth, and tried not to come off too eager?

Regardless of whether you admit it or not, SOME part of you must have liked Chad. Whether it was the fact that he has a little puppy, has served our country, or has one of the best physiques I've ever seen, there has to be SOME part of you that liked or respected Chad.

In a world where females constantly feel like they are being lied to and men lie to get in bed with girls and both lie about their feelings in their past, it seems almost impossible to find love when both parties make it so hard. So why is it that when someone comes along who gives us nothing but sheer honestly, we freak out and eliminate them off our favorite TV show?

Girls CONSTANTLY complain that guys are dishonest. Like I promise, it’s constant. So why is it that when a guy like Chad walks in and tells the truth about everything, everyone snaps on him?

Had everyone left him alone, the poor guy probably would’ve made it to the finals and we’d be looking at a future Jojo Johnson. Not only does the name sound perfect, but imagine their babies.

Aside from the fact that he was honest and truthful, he went on the show six months after his MOM, his BEST FRIEND DIED of cancer! Let’s all just hate him for this too!

I don’t think that enough people gave him credit for even going onto the show in the first place. After watching his elimination and creeping on his Instagram for possible background photos, I saw that he had posted a picture of he and his mom saying that this is the reason he went on the Bachelorette:

“Well other than the fact that I work all the time, for 7 years I watched my mother slowly die from cancer. Over the last 3 she got so much worse and I decided to spend all of my time that I wasn’t working, at her house taking care of her and generally spending time with her. She was all alone since her divorce from my father. My sister and I were all that she had. So I have not had a relationship in a very long time because I was busy trying to make sure my mother lived out her final years in comfort and surrounded by family. I still miss her everyday…. She was my best friend and person I told everything to.”

Regardless of how scary, volatile, and conceited he may be, Chad was real. So maybe he had one flaw, which so happened to be something that people dream of being able to do: stand up for themselves.

If being honest and standing up for yourself are not deemed admirable qualities, then I don’t know what is.

I think that we all need to find a little bit more of Chad in ourselves.

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?
