I'm Not Worried About Finding Love

I'm Not Worried About Finding Love
Kristin Hoffman

I have faith that love will find me one day. In today's world, love is found through sites like Tinder and Farmers Only (yes, I had to include that one) or so they say. Recently, I watched an episode of "Jane the Virgin," and Jane mentioned that she wanted to "#meetcute." What she meant by this is, she wants to meet someone like people do in rom-coms, naturally and spontaneously. I feel the same way.

I guess you could say I'm a bit of an old soul, and part of being one is that I've always believed in the "old-fashioned" way of dating. I hate that everything about today's society has become virtual. We live in a world where everyone's worried about how many likes they'll get on Instagram or how many friends they have on Facebook. Something about being worried about such things just doesn't sit well with me.

For that reason alone, you'd probably call me a hopeless romantic. Sure, I believe in true love. I just don't think I'll find it through the internet, and that's OK. In the past, I've met guys that way, and I definitely made sure we had mutual friends. However, each time, it's gone haywire. So, online dating just isn't for me.

Don't get me wrong.. Some of my best friends have met their significant others through online dating, so I know finding love that way can happen. It's just not going to happen for me, and I've accepted that. Like I said before, I have faith that love will find me one day. Not only that, but I have faith that love will find me in real life and not online. I know it'll be natural and spontaneous and beautiful all at the same time.

So, please the next time you find out I'm single or how long I've been single don't tell me to create a profile on Tinder or anything similar to that. I'm not interested. I've had one before, and it didn't work out in the least. Let me be. I really do enjoy being single. I lead a life that's truly my own, and independence is wonderful. I'm not unhappy, and I'm not lonely. I may be unhappy and lonely sometimes, but it's not because I don't have a boyfriend.

Let me find love in my own way and my own timing. I faith that God has a man for me out there somewhere, but right now I'm waiting patiently. Yes, I'm waiting. However, I'm not going to let the fact that I don't have someone get in the way of me truly living my life. I love the way my life is going right now. I feel like I'm finally seeing myself the way God wants me to see myself. Whenever it's the right time, love will find me. But for now, I'm going to live my own adventure and let God write my story.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
