Here I am. Twenty-one years old, and about to embark on my senior year of college. I've spent three Thanksgivings explaining to my family why I haven't found a boyfriend yet, and I've spent three Thanksgivings telling my grandma that I promise to get married before she kicks the bucket.

But what I haven't figured out yet is who I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with. I know what you're thinking, "Rose, quit being so dramatic." The thing is, I'm not being dramatic.

Seriously, who am I going to spend the rest of my life with?

I know for a fact, that I am not the only girl my age asking this question. In fact, it would seem that the common goal for girls in college would be to earn one of two things. Either their BA degree, or their MRS. degree. Now just for the record, there is no actual MRS. degree, but it does indeed refer to those who come to college in search of one thing. Their husband. Now, I'm not making a sweeping generalization, because I know many girls who don't set out to find their husbands, but I do know that the majority of us hope to find a nice, well-educated man in college.

Want to know the real reason as to why we're all freaking out? It's because every single person at Marquette states that you WILL meet your husband here. I mean that's a whole lot of unnecessary pressure. School is stressful enough, and we certainly don't need others telling us that we must find someone to put a ring on it before we graduate.

Trust me, girls are crazy already, I would know, I'm one of them. So add that pressure and you're going to start witnessing girls self-combust left and right.

And for us soon-to-be seniors, we're extra stressed. We only have two semesters to potentially find someone that could be the father to our children, the Mona to our Lisa, and the cool whip to our strawberries! What are we going to do with our lives if we don't find that one person that completes us!?

According to my mom you can get a fish. I hope she was kidding on that one.

These questions that we ask are real ones folks. For anyone that's not a 21 year old college girl, I'm going to let you in on a secret. We spend the majority of our time discussing the potential we have to be cat ladies while binge eating anything and everything in sight.

But you know what? Underneath all of the panicking, is just simple fear. We're scared that we did college wrong, and we're scared that we were too busy hitting the snooze button on the dating scene while other girls were off searching for their soulmates. And as I look back, it would seem that the only thing I successfully found were the chocolate chips in a bag of trail mix.

So here is my realization. For those of you that are currently freaking out over your "forever alone" status, listen really well.

For some, college is the place to find the person you want to marry. And for the rest of us, college is the place where we find the people who will stand next to us as we get married.

And then it really hit me.

I have found those people.

Even though I haven't found the man that will bring home the bacon one day, I've found the girls who will come home and help me eat the bacon. They've been by my side since day one, and they've been with me through all of my stages of awkward.

Once I realized just how stupid I was being, I stepped back and realized that we can't run around in search of something more. Don't worry if you haven't found "the one." We still have time, and if you're like me – freaking out about why you haven't found your soulmate as college comes to a close – remember all of the things that you do you have in your life, and know that timing is everything.

The right time for you will come along. It might be tomorrow, and it might be in a year.

 Now, don't quote me on that, I'm not Raven, and I definitely can't predict your future. But what I can tell you is that everything has a way of working itself out.

So what if I'm the girl that hasn't found her soulmate? I've found my bridesmaids and best friends. I figure the whole soulmate thing will come at another time. It looks like I'll be earning my BA degree, and you know what? I'm pretty darn happy about that. Maybe one day I'll be a "Mrs." but as of now I'm pretty content with being Miss Rose Littlefair.
