As a college student, we are stuck in this grey area of what we should be doing with our lives.

We are old enough to make our own decisions, yet we still are young enough to where we aren't completely on our own. With that being said, many college girls think that they should have their lives figured out which includes having a significant other.

With the rise of social media, we see couples all the time flourishing together in college leaving girls thinking, "Why can't I have that?" and "What's wrong with me?"

The funny thing is, you will find someone, and it's not always going to be during college.

My mom loves to tell me the story of how my dad and her met- she was 20 and he was 23 and they met at a bar in south Alabama (funny thing is, she was with her girlfriends ignoring him for most of the night). When I was younger I would always tell myself, oh you will definitely find the one when you're 20.

I am laughing now at how wrong I was.

I consider my mom extremely lucky; not many women find their soulmate so young, and for them to still be together 30 years later is something remarkable, truly. But that is not my story. I can't live my life waiting around for a guy to come in and sweep me off my feet, and neither should you.

Us women have more opportunities for success than any other generation before and I would rather build my career and become independent than spending my time looking for the "one."

As humans, we crave love and affection. There is no denying how good it feels when you know someone wants you, but if you force yourself to find that when it should come naturally, you are going to end up empty and broken. Having patience is hard when you have people all around you falling in love, but the second you stop looking and focus on yourself will be when you find the most success in building relationships.

He will come. Whether it be tomorrow or in 3 years, you will find someone worthy of your affection and when you do, you will be glad you waited.
