If you've tuned in every Monday night for season twenty-one of The Bachelor, you've probably established an opinion on who is called the "villain of this season" - Corinne. But, week after week passed and while the other girls continued to attack Corinne, it hasn't registered to me yet what she's actually done to any of them. And then it hit me, "girl hate" can blow up over nothing, and girls will hate each other for being nothing shy of themselves.

But, if you haven't been up to date on this season, let's analyze if Corrine is really the "villain" of the season, or if it's the other ten contestants trash talking her.

The drama started off the very first night the bachelor aired, so Corrine knew right from the get-go she was a target for the season. The first night at the cocktail party, Corinne was the first of the contestants to get to kiss Nick, the men they all signed up to date. For those who didn't know, the point of The Bachelor is to potentially be engaged to this man. Signing up for the process you know he will be all over girls right in front of your face; the process is pretty screwed up. Don't hate the player, hate the game. If it was any of them, they'd be ecstatic to get good attention, but instead, they displayed her as a "slut."

Another thing the girls loved to hate about Corinne was the fact she had a nanny help her out at her time at home. The girls laughed about the matter behind her back and even addressed it to Nick, The Bachelor, as being 'concerned about her maturity.' Her parents are running a multi million dollar company, maybe they don't have time to give to her daughter and she feels lonely, or maybe she just needs some extra f*cking help. No matter the reasoning, her lifestyle should not be an issue to anyone but her.

And, finally, Corinne is seen as the wrongdoer for the entire series because of her sleeping. She missed a rose ceremony because she had fallen asleep and you would have thought she set the house on fire. The girls went wild. They talked to each other and Nick about how immature she was and that she wasn't here for the right reasons. I would again, like to clarify, that the only thing she was doing was taking a nap. We've all been in situations where we didn't sleep much the night before and it is physically impossible to keep your eyes open. Sometimes resting your eyes for a few minutes turns into an hour snooze. She should not have been targeted for falling asleep. And come on, she did say it best "Abraham Lincoln took naps."

Usually The Bachelor villain is a girl who is a total monster, this girl usually starts fights in the house and gets verbal with the other contestants. But Corrine, on the contrary, has done absolutely none of that to anyone, she is receiving the lash of "girl hate" for being her funny and silly self.

This season of The Bachelor was an eye opener for me about "girl hate." Girls can pair up and target someone who does absolutely nothing. "Girl Squads" should build others up, not tear them down. I'm not saying i've been a victim of this, but I challenge everyone from here on out to examine if people really deserve all the hate they get from girl groups.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
