I'm in college, but the thought of getting married and having kids within a few years is crazy to me. All my friends are getting married, getting engaged, or having kids, and I don't even have the itch to do any of those! I like being single, I like being by myself, and I like being able to do what I want when I want to without having anything to worry about.

I would honestly rather spend my college years getting to know myself and getting a degree to have a great career.

I don't think that right now is the time to do anything but that, sue me. I like to think that I have my life planned out, and so far everything's on schedule. You get a degree, a job, then you get married. Unpopular opinion: I think going into college with a boyfriend, kid, or husband is limiting yourself. You won't be able to be as involved or have as much time for your studies or to have fun, as you would if you came into college with nothing holding you back. Most freshmen in college end up breaking up with their hometown boyfriends/girlfriends during their first semester anyway. Might as well let them go before you start school.

It's okay to not see yourself settling down anytime soon! It's okay if you already have settled down. You can be happy with or without someone else. Your happiness depends on YOU, not anyone else. In today's society, people find it hard to be happy without having someone to post pictures with on social media, and they think that college is the place to find that person. I personally think that college is the place to find friends that will last a lifetime!
