I Want An All-Consuming Love And I Won't Settle For Anything Else

He will not be found by swiping right on tinder.

I Want An All-Consuming Love And I Won't Settle For Anything Else

I will not settle for some mediocre love. I want something that is beautiful, pure, and forever. I’m not looking to fall in love with someone who will break my heart or just settle for something because it's available. I guess I watched too many romance movies, read one too many love stories, and got too involved with TV romances for my own good. When I think of my future, I want to have someone there to share it with, but I will not have just anyone. I want someone who will hold my hand while we walk from the car to our front door, I want someone who looks at me and smiles when I wake up because they find me beautiful, I want someone who will be ready to take on the world with me.

I have looked forward to my future since I was little, always wanting to be older and grown up so that I could be in love, go away to college, and have a family of my own one day. This way of thinking is so uncommon in our ever expanding hookup culture, and this worries me. A number of men who are willing to take a girl on a date rather than swipe through tinder are dwindling. Yet I am the girl who holds on the hope that her perfect man is out there, and no he won't be found by swiping right or in a dingy basement waiting in line for some crappy beer at a weekend frat party. I want one who will be my other half. This is where the romance movies come in. I see a guy, and they aren't exactly my type so I write them off. I want to be the girl who moves to a small town with no intentions of falling in love, yet she does; it's never quite who they expect it to be with. It just happens. But realistically it simply won't happen. I just don’t give them the time of day, because I'm too focused on having an all-consuming love like a freaking Nicholas Sparks novel. That is what I want--the simple love, the easy love, the patient love, the kind love, love.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
