Prince Charming Is Waiting For You, Just Not In A Bar

Your next drink is the only love you should be looking for in a bar

Prince Charming Is Waiting For You, Just Not In A Bar
Bigo Dino

Every girl fantasizes about finding the perfect man. Everyone is getting engaged and you and your friends are out getting hammered and chowing down on take-out. (No wonder you're single.) Well here's a newsflash to the party going, pizza eating, whiskey shooting, bar-hopping, beer drinking, single girls: you're not gonna find Prince Charming while you're hammered in a smoky bar. Yes I know in movies and TV shows it happens all the time, but that's Hollywood--and this is real life.

When a guy sees a sloshed, single girl out with all of her equally sloshed friends the words "I'm gonna marry her one day" are probably not running through his head. It's probably more along the lines of "Yeah, I'll take her and one of her friends home."

Don't get me wrong here, I'm sure if you're sober driver for the night (haha, yeah right), and happen to stumble upon a cute male sober driver for the night, by all means go for it girly--he's probably closer to your Prince than any other drooling idiot in there.Your knight in shining armor will not find you while he's drunk, nor when you are. You'll probably find a nice lay for the night when you're drunk, but I wouldn't consider it to ever be long-lasting.

When you hear "God has someone waiting for you" I highly doubt that He has perfected it just so, in order that you can be with your favorite love--whiskey--and that your second love--ahem enter Prince Charming--will come and find you in that crowded place full of sin and bad decisions. You'll ride off into the sunset towards your apartment on a Jack Daniels bottle, and he'll definitely respect your boundaries--if you have any left at that point--know that you're drunk and not even try, and you'll have lunch the next day, go on dates, and then get married years later. I could definitely go for that, but half the time I don't even remember the names of the guys that talk to me in a bar.

You can't walk into a different drinking establishment every night and expect to find the person that's meant for you. It could definitely happen, but is that a story you wanna tell your children one day? "Mommy met daddy when she was schmammered at a bar one night and just thought it was gonna be a one night stand but he stuck around because you were conceived."

Um, I'd like to think not..

Have fun with being single, though! College is the best time of your life, and a boyfriend only restricts you from doing you. Go out, have drinks, surround yourself with your girlfriends, or guy friends, that make you the happiest, and when you're ready for a relationship, don't go looking for Prince Charming in a college town dive bar.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
