I'm Only 19 But I'm Totally Fine With Being Single For The Rest Of My Life

For some people they can't stand being single for more than a week, but for me, I'm okay with being single for life.

When it comes to being single, people have two ways of dealing with it; method one is to find another person to date ASAP so they are not lonely and then there is method two, which is accepting that you are single because of x reasons (school, career, want to take a "heartbreak," etc..).

For many people like me, it's not easy getting a "soulmate" because we either have too many high standards that don't fit in with the mainstream dating or that we are unapproachable because of looks, personality, and not following society's rules. Which is fine because it is their loss, people who don't follow the norm are the most exciting, energetic and nicest people to walk along this earth compared to the ones that do follow society's norms.

Most people are choosing to be single because they want to focus on school, careers, goals, friends, or don't like how the dating game is working nowadays. Some of the people that are choosing to be single that I know are some of the gorgeous people ever with the kindest hearts but want to get where they want to be before settling down.

I've never had a serious relationship, I've been in two, and the longest was two weeks. Even with being away from my hometown dating is still hard. Since I've been at college, I haven't met anyone, and it's fine because let's be honest my life is the biggest mess right now and I need to get it together before going into another relationship. Plus my classes are important, and so is my future, I want to be able to support myself before I commit to a serious relationship.

I've seen my friends getting into relationships, and I'm happy for them because if they're happy, I'm happy. I rather see all my friends get their perfect beginnings, then myself because they are better people and have been through so much.

If I ever get into another relationship, I pray for the man because I am stubborn, and I'm not normal. So I wish him luck,

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.
