Reasons I Am Single
Jonteal Hasty

I'm just going to blatantly lay it out. Let you all know that I go through the struggle every day and there are simple reasons of why I will forever be single.

It has nothing to do with my looks because I know that I am a beautiful young woman. Men or should I say boys are intimidated by how beautiful a person like me actually is. I don't have to wear makeup, and I don't have to comb my hair and I don't have to dress up. You can see who I truly am at any point of the year. Yet boys usually choose the girl that hides behind her cover up because it is easier to accept the fake version of someone. It's hard to choose a girl like me who doesn't cover up. I highlight my flaws and make them a part of me.

Another reason is because of my personality. I'm not a "normal" girl. I don't do what other girls do or say what other girls say. I tell it how it is and no I will never hide who I truly am. You never know what you're going to get with me. One day I can be this calm and nice person and the next i'm bouncing off the walls and as blunt as ever. It's okay dudes, you will never be able to handle someone like me.

Lastly, my focus. It's real easy to let somebody step in front of your path and fog your future. You'll fall in awe over this person that says all the cute things you need to hear. Well, I won't. My eye is on the prize and nothing will stand in my way. So maybe I play a couple games with boys to entertain myself, but when the fun is over, it's always best to return to my work. A boy won't get me to my goals, only I will.

So maybe the biggest reason I am forever single is because of me. Maybe I'd rather wait for that one person to accept all my flaws, to appreciate all the beautiful I am, and not only fog my future, but be apart of my future.

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.
