No, I Don't Have A Man Or Ring But I'm Still Out Here Wondering Where My Fairytale Is

No, I Don't Have A Man Or Ring But I'm Still Out Here Wondering Where My Fairytale Is

I feel like it is SO darn easy to get caught up in other peoples lives in person and on social media. Social media makes it so easy these days to have this picture perfect timeline of when we should have someone special in our lives but in reality, we aren't on everyone else's timeline but our own. It can get kind of tricky honestly because we just get so used to scrolling on social media and seeing who still has a man or has recently gotten engaged. You want to feel happy for them for sure, but at the same time, you do feel like why isn't it me yet?

Being at the end of my college career, I am seeing the trend more of the engagement than anything else. I am not saying it is happening to everyone, but to those, I follow on social media that are around my age are posting left and right about their rings. I know I, of course, are happy for them and wish them nothing but bliss, but I just have not found the one for me. I have swiped left and right on apps many times and I have been out on the town many times. But it just doesn't make sense to me still that someone has not crossed paths with me. Is it really in God's plans for me to be with someone or is that just what he says to make me feel like its eventually going to happen? I mean I do want to believe that he's out there for me but right now it's kind of hard to tell.

I do think that things are supposed to happen for a reason in life most of the time. But it does make me wonder about how my journey is going to continue. Will I have a happy ending just like in Rom Coms and in Disney movies? Or will I be happy with just myself and what I have to accomplish? I feel like these thoughts are always flowing through my mind and they probably will continue to do so. But in the meantime, I guess I'll just see what happens and not worry about the answers to the questions.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
