An inside look into this years The Bachelor

America loves Nick, and I'm not talking about myself this time.

"The Bachelor" is by far one of the most controversial television series out, specifically because of the candidate this season. Whether you're discussing the fact that a man is dating multiple women at one time, women that all live in the same house on national television, or maybe you're talking about how Nick shouldn't be given another chance after his missed connections already. It doesn't matter if you're #teamNick or not, because I think everyone can love this season of The Bachelor.

Last week we saw 8 girls go home as the number went from 30, brand new and ready to impress, women to 22 excited and anxious young gals. This year is already started on a good foot. Lets talk about it.

First, 12, yes 12, of the women wore a red dress and on top of that nobody knows why. Some people say that red could be Nicks favorite color but if you ask me, I think there was a secret alliance made before the big season premiere.

Secondly, the more things change the more they stay the same. Doctors and dentists continue to overcrowd the selection of "wife-to-be's". Let's talk about the girls that made a less-than-rose worthy first impression. First there was the lovely Briana who was a surgical unit nurse that pulled out a latex glove and said 'bend over." Maybe a Colonoscopy isn't the best way to make a first impression.Then there was Ida Marie who made Nick participate in a trust fall. Their trust was quickly broken when she didn't receive a rose. Oh and Angela, who was one of the 'red dress gang'.

Thirdly, lets talk about Elizabeth, Nick's one night stand. Really I don't know what more I could say. Nine months before the show, Nick hooked up with one of the future contestants at a wedding. Of course at the time none of this was ever thought of so no harm, no foul. Liz received the last rose after her competing speech of "oh Nick I know that I didn't want you then but I really want you know and it not because i'll be on television I swear" (not the actual quote but probably her actual thoughts). All the while America sits at home trying to figure out the math behind that...

Lastly, and I did save the best for last, Shark Dolphin girl! Yeah I'm just as confused as you. Now,don't get me wrong, I love a good bold move by a lady just as much as the next guy. It'sjust, a dolphin, or shark, or whatever the heck it is (its a shark because it has gills) thats a very risky move. It doesn't matter how you feel though because she made a good enough impression to get a rose. In her own words, "I'm just glad I didn't wear a red dress"

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
