I Deserve Someone Who Is 100 Percent Sure About Me
Lexi Schroeder

I am newly single after coming out of a year and a half long relationship. I'm back at square one of trying to find someone I connect with again. I'll come out and say I am the type of person who loves to have a significant other. I enjoy having someone I can cuddle up with, talk to when I'm sad and go on dates and just enjoy feeling wanted and loved.

I haven't been single for a long time. Back in high school, I dated someone from my sophomore year of high school to my senior year, then broke up and was single for three months. After that three month break, I got into another relationship my freshman year of college and we just broke up two months ago... so I'm getting used to single life again.

I am not currently looking to hop right into another relationship, but I'm also not denying I wouldn't be for one if I find the right person. I've been trying out the popular dating apps like Bumble and Tinder and have talked with a few guys here and there.

It can be tempting to settle for someone who seems like they're giving you a lot of attention because it takes away the loneliness we feel. I don't know about other people my age, but I date to marry. I'm not looking to waste time with someone who I can't see myself with for a long time... there's no point in that. Everyone, including myself, deserves a significant other who is all about you.

Sometimes I do settle for something I don't deserve, I'm sure most of us are guilty of that. Since I've been single these couple of months, I've experienced being played, led on and used for things and I can tell you it does not feel good. And I'm probably accountable for doing things like that too at some point. And if I have, I offer the same advice which is don't settle for me, settle for someone better.

After little and big heartbreaks, it just helps me realize my worth more and what I truly deserve... and that is someone who wants me, will cherish me and who will take me for who I am. I am done settling for less than what I deserve and if you can't respect that, then you are not the one for me.

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.

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.
