Why I Am Okay With Being Single For Right Now

"Being Single Is Only Sad If You Have A Problem With Your Own Company. I'm Content With Mine." Olga Kurylenko

I have been single for most of my life. I only dated one guy in my whole life. He was an amazing guy who I never talk to anymore. It just did not work out, he was going back to Hawaii and I was going to be in Ohio. He taught me so much about myself, and what it should be like when guys like you.

I am not saying that I have not been on dates with other guys; however, I have not found the person I want to end up with. I might've of already have, but I don't know. Love takes time. I am not scared to be in a relationship; however, I am content with being by myself until it finds me.

People might think I am crazy for saying all of this because they probably want a boyfriend or a love life. Don't get me wrong, I like some guys right now, but it does not mean I want to date right now. A lot has happen to me last three years that I am not ready to date.

It taken me almost four years to be in love with my life, and myself. I am sorry to say it will have to take a really good guy who has to be patience, sweet, funny, and understanding that I am not going to date around. I am looking for that one person.

I don't believe in dating just to date. I am actually one of those girls who wants to the date the "one". I am not saying that I am not going to go on dates with others. But, I am scared of what could happen.

I am one of those girls who seem so confident, who knows what they want, and has it all put together; however, that is not the case with me.

I am one of the most sensitive person when it comes to guy. I care way too much what a guy I like thinks of me. It hurts when I cannot figure out why they do not like me.

So in this time right now, I am trying not to be that way. I am trying to figure out for myself what I want in life, in love, and in general. I am not scared not to date right now.

I keep thinking how I have three and half years of schooling left to go, well more exact, five and half years because of getting my masters. Maybe I will be one of those people who gets settle in their career and find love after I get my career all worked out?

However, that is okay. In a weird way, I am not ready to settle down in my early 20s. I am not saying it is a bad thing to find your love of life right now. Some of my good friends are married or even have children with their love of their lives. I could not be happier for them.

One day, I want to have that with my love of my life, but for right now, I am okay with being single. To be quite honest, it is gonna take a great guy to date me. Who knows it could happen this year, five years from now, or even, in my thirties. But for right now, I am happy being single. But for now, I have an amazing family and a great friend group to get me through.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
