I’m 21-Years-Old And I Have Never Been On One Date Or Kissed And I’m Okay With That

I also do not want to date for the “experience”.

I’m 21 years old and I have never been kissed. Now before you start assuming that this is going to lead into a whole spiel on how I haven’t found the “one” it is actually a different scenario. I’m 21 years old and I have never been kissed and I’m okay with that. Being single is one of my strongest character traits that I put on job applications actually; it’s also another empty box for my lack of experience.

I’m 21 years old and I have never been on one date and I’m okay with that. My life is spent between school, work, and home. By the time I finish my day, all I want to do is lay in my bed and be to myself at home. I barely have time for friends. Where on earth would I find time to squeeze a boyfriend into that schedule?

I’m 21 years old and I would like to be in a relationship but even if I’m not in one I’m okay with that. My life doesn’t start once I found the “one”. I also do not want to date for the “experience”. It’s not like my current boyfriend will need to contact my previous relationship references to see if I’m a fit candidate for the job.

It’s a weird predicament that I am in. I want someone but then again I don’t want someone. It would be nice to have someone to talk to but honestly, I can talk to anyone. I want to be the person going through the “honeymoon” phase of a relationship but then again I hate the whole mushy romance love thing. Okay, so maybe this is the real reason I’m single.

My age and lack of experience should not be looked down on. Some of us just do not move as fast as other people. I didn’t know that dating and marriage also had a biological time clock for women; I was taught that was just in relation to having kids. I have some friends who had their first “boyfriend” in first grade but I also have some acquaintances that didn’t get married until they were in their forties.

In 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 124.6 million Americans, 16 years and older were single or unmarried. Who knew being single was of such importance? I not only have a chance but I also have time until I as the young folk say “settle down”.

But honestly will someone please bite the bullet and date me? Or not I’m fine either way.

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.

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.
