The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Season of the Bachelor: A Helpful Guide in GIFs

Before we start my GIF adventure, I wanted to share something I am not proud of. 6 years ago, I got in line to take a picture with Arie Luyendyk (the fact that I spelled that right on the first try is very scary and I think I need to go bleach my brain now.) The poor baby who got dumped on national television. If you were to tell me then what I know now, first of all how did you get a time machine because I want one. Second of all, no further explanation needed, tell me what I need to do. Punch him in the face? Fake a pregnancy and try and ruin his life? Find Lauren or Becca and make them join the Witness Protection Program? No one knows. Because it didn't happen. That's on ME, guys. THAT'S. ON. ME.

The picture that once brought me joy, now haunts me.
