You hate to admit it, but it's true.

Why We Always Fall For The Chad
Huffington Post

Ah, The Bachelorette, every girls (and guys) guilty pleasure. While we watch surrounded by our friends and copious amounts of wine, we see the overdramatic reality relationships unfold before our eyes every Monday night. And while there is obvious placed drama in the show I can't help but notice one very universal truth, we always fall for the Chad. Now if you watch the show at all or have a twitter or well, a life, you know very well who Chad Johnson is. The meat and sweet potato ravaging, aggressive villain of the show.


There's a Chad everywhere. There's one in your favorite frat, one in your women's studies class because he needs the credits, and there is always a Chad in the dining hall filling up an extremely large empty milk jug. They're the guys that have an arrogance to them. They're attractive, often funny, and they're always asking the very famous "Who do you know here?" You get drunk and you hook up with the Chad, maybe even start to like him after a few occasions. But then you realize he is bat shit insane. You think you can fix him and whatever issues he has, like his dad never gave him a pat on the back after his little league games. But you can't. You can't fix a person – that's their job, not yours. But as naive girls we continue on, thinking we'll see the good in our own Chads while our friends gag at the thought of him and sometimes even hold us down so we don't answer his 2 a.m. "wyd" text. It's a vicious cycle really.

We watch how he treats others (awfully) and think, "oh he's not that bad, no one understands he's so much different when he's with me". However, you start to notice he starts to ignore the weird legacy pledge with the gel in his hair the same way he ignores you when you talk about your day. He's about as confrontational as it gets and always ALWAYS wants to "take this outside". He doesn't care about your problems or that your day had about a million low points. The only thing he cares about is the low point on your shirt.


And I guess the moral of the story really is, Chad should not get our rose. No matter who the Chad is in your life, realize him for what he is and send that boy packing. You're better than this and there's a James Taylor right around the corner for you to sweep you off your feet, I promise.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
