It's Ok

For those of you who belong to #BachelorNation, the title of this week's blog post might be immediately familiar as recent Bachelor, Juan Pablo's, new catch phrase. Even if you don't know who Juan Pablo or The Bachelor is, this post is still for you. Juan Pablo went down in history as the world's worst Bachelor, and I'm about to describe to you just why that is. Guys - take notes from Juan Pabs, and be sure to never ever follow them. Ladies - listen closely, and be sure to never ever date a Juan Pabs.

3 Reasons Juan Pablo was the worst Bachelor ever.

1. He made no sense. Ever. 

JP took the saying "talking in circles" to a whole new level. The man not only talked in circles, but zigzags, squares, rhombuses, you name it. He was all over the place, and he never made his points or ideas clear. One of the contestants on the show said, "I wish I was dumber." JP later blamed this on the language barrier, but the guy has been a citizen of the United States for 10+ years. It's not a language barrier but perhaps an intellectual one. The most unfortunate thing about this all is that he was able to talk his way out of any situation. The girls would become so confused, so they just let whatever he was trying to explain go. I don't know if it was the accent or his favorite way to end any conversation: "It's ok." that allowed him to bs his way through just about anything. 

2. He made zero attempts to get to know any of the women, but instead, he turned any conversation into one about himself.

Alright, so we all know that the Bachelor is really only a 6-week course of filming, so clearly, time is precious, and any smart man who truly cared about finding love, would spend as much time as he could to get to know the women that he could potentially propose to at the end of that fast-paced 6 weeks. However, this was not the case for Juan Pabs. Several of the women on the show explained that they never had the chance to talk about anything really meaningful, deep, or personal to JP because every time such a thing would come up, Juan was quick to change the subject.... to himself. Is Juan Pablo really that big of an egotistical asshole? Yes. It takes a lot for a woman to open herself up to another person, let alone the rest of America. So for him to immediately shoot her down, that's his loss because those are the women who could have turned out to be great wife/mother material. He was looking for a woman to just shut up and listen to him. Be in his shadow. Be a trophy wife. (I could go on and on about Nikki Ferrell and her stupid decision to stay with the guy, but that's too much ranting to fit into one post!)

3. Finally, he's rude. Period.

Where to begin with this one... Juan was rude on and off of the show. Even his family warned both of the final contestants that Juan can be "a lot to deal with" and "mean". Several of the girls left JP on their own because of how nasty he was. One girl said he told her that she "hardly made it this far." How is that supposed to make her feel? Like crap. Lucky for this girl, Andi, she became a fan favorite, and her strong willed personality landed her a spot as the new Bachelorette. However, Juan Pab's real personality came out during the live "After the Final Rose" show when he got pissed at the host, Chris Harrison, for apparently interrupting him. To get to the point, Juan simply thinks the world revolves around him, and unfortunately for him, that's definitely not the case. However, he will forever be notorious for the world's worst Bachelor.




Now, I suppose since I talked about all the reasons why JP was a horrid Bachelor, I guess I should mention just ONE reason why he could have made a good one.

1 Reason Juan Pablo COULD Have Been a Great Bachelor 

1. Just look at him.

That about wraps up this week's blog post. Remember: GUYS-don't be a Juan Pabs. GIRLS-don't date a Juan Pabs. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you all next week :)

Staycation time!

Blehhfjdsakjfewia. That's a little insight into my wonderful mind these past 2 weeks. I really think this week was just as time consuming and annoying as finals week was before Christmas Break. It was the week before the midterm and spring break, and my goodness, I promise you E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. was due all at once. More than one exam or midterm a day, everyday. And now that it's all over, I still have the lingering feeling that I should be doing something productive because something will be due soon! However, luckily, that's not that case, and I get to relax for 9 days. NINE DAYS. That is amazing. Although vacation plans didn't work out, I think it's almost for the best. I really need time to just breathe and give my mind a break. Not that I couldn't do that on a beach somewhere.... sighhhh. But this way, I'm not worrying about all the traveling and planning and what not. Not to mention I'm saving some extra mula which I have recently realized is kind of super important. Allow me to explain. 

Yet another realization that I'm growing up!

Boo. Although growing up is really exciting, it comes with so many new responsibilities, and as much as I want to just gather all my things and move out, it's not that easy. First of all, I've recently gotten a new car - bye bye Neon. Yay! Right? Well, yes, I loveeeee my new Ford Focus whom I designated as Fabio. Cute, huh? However, those car payments are a tough pill to swallow. I can't just go out and splurge on gifts for myself like I used to (a little more often than I'd like to admit). I have to SAVE my money now. Woh.... save money? What's up with that?! But if I ever want to be able to afford to really get out there on my own, that's exactly what I need to do.  It's all new to me, but it's nice knowing that I'm working toward a goal that is helping me to become a mature adult. I love my family, don't get me wrong, but I think I'm ready to take a few steps away, and paying for something like a CAR all on my own is a great feeling. It seems like just yesterday I was driving my little Barbie jeep around the neighborhood! :)

So in some of my earlier posts, I talked about my passion for photography. It's hands down one of my favorite art forms, and recently, I was able to attend a photography exhibit at school, and I LOVED it. The theme for all of the photographers' displays was "people" which happens to be my favorite kind of photography - portraits. It was really awesome to see different ideas the photographers came up with, and it pushed me to get back behind the lens of my very standard camera and take a few shots of my very beautiful sister, Madison. I'm hoping to get a newer and better camera for my birthday, and over the summer, I want to look into taking some photography classes. Here are a few of my favorite shots of Mady. I also did her hair and makeup for this shoot, and I think it's a fabulous look on her.  

Quaint little smile.

I think I told her to think of someone she dislikes. Oops. Death glare for sure. But a gorgeous one!

Eyes.

Stunning. That's pretty much all else I have to say on that one. I really need to invest in a better camera and venture away from just shooting Madison, but as stated in above section, I'm saving money, so it will just have to wait for now!

Until next time...

Stay classy,
