Sorry, The Ideal 'Mr. Right' Does Not Exist But Maybe 'Mr. Right For You' does

Between chick flicks and Disney movies that both stress the idea of "perfect" guys, no wonder everyone had developed such high standards for love interests.

Sorry, The Ideal 'Mr. Right' Does Not Exist But Maybe 'Mr. Right For You' does

Throughout my life, I have heard people constantly describing physical entities as being "just right." For example, the way in which one prefers a certain food or drink, like morning coffee, or it be how Goldilocks describes her porridge in the famous fairytale, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

When it comes to describing people, mainly romantic interests, people have often described their ideal partner as "Mr Right."

Who is "Mr Right?" Though the answer varies from person to person, I can tell you that he simply does not exist. He is not real in the aspects that you may think he is. Yes, you will find the right guy for you eventually but he is not the idea of a perfect guy that society has been engraving in our heads.

Between chick flicks and Disney movies that both stress the idea of "perfect" guys, no wonder everyone had developed such high standards for love interests. That does not mean that people should not have standards for themselves and who they are romantically involved with, but the ideas presented throughout the media do not portray real people and nobody should waste their time looking for the nonexistent.

As much as we may want to believe that the perfect man, who abides to what society deems as "Mr. Right," is out there somewhere, he is not. Why not? Because nobody is perfect. Not you, nor me, because I know I'm definitely not.

Flaws help to shape us, sometimes define us, and ultimately make each and every one of us unique.

If you find someone who is perfect in your eyes, he may not be the ideal "Mr. Right," but who knows, maybe he will be the one for you. This raises the question: how do you find your own "Mr Right?"

Well, Mr. Right doesn't happen overnight. A relationship starts out small and takes time to be developed into something real.

From my experience, I have learned that the best relationships just happen on their own. Just live your life and you'll find him because he can be anywhere.

He could be in one of your classes. He could be that boy you always see walking on campus. He could literally be anywhere. You just have to find him.

If it's really meant to be, maybe he will even end up finding you.

However you find your own "Mr Right," you'll have a definite connection even if you are not particularly fond of his hair, or the way he dresses, or something else of that nature. Despite these little things, you'll give him a chance because you both like each other.

With this being said, your own "Mr. Right," will come around. Keep living your life and do not let the societal idea of "Mr. Right," trick you or lead you to wasting your time.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
