Please Stop Asking Me When I Will Get A Boyfriend

I'm an 18-year-old girl who has never been in a relationship and I absolutely love it. Sure, it is bittersweet, but so is having a relationship. I have heard every question in the book: "When will you bring home a guy to meet us?", "You are so grown up! Where is your boyfriend?", and my personal favorite "You're so pretty, how come you don't have a boyfriend yet?"

Let me start this off by saying that I am exceedingly sick and tired of people thinking that just because I am young and pretty, I have to be in a relationship. I am in no way interested in having one at the moment. To further explain, I don't care about having one, meaning I am not searching for one. I like being alone; however, I am not opposed if something does happen in the background of my life.

But I will not find a boyfriend just because everyone says I should. I am not living for your expectations, so please stop acting as I should.

These days, it seems like a relationship is all anyone is concerned about, yet they are only in one just for show. Barely anyone establishes a real connection anymore, and that is mainly why I am still single. I want something to happen naturally and mean something.

Another reason why I am still boyfriendless is that I am an absolute wreck. I am juggling the stress of college, work, family and friends, personal matters, and still trying to make time for a social life. I have so much piled up in my life that I can't handle a relationship on top of everything. I am just a girl still trying to figure herself out.

Lastly, I am just genuinely happy by myself - there is a sense of comfortability in being alone. Maybe that is my reclusive nature, but it's peaceful. I can clean my house and no one else will dirty it up, I can go every day without worrying about arguing with someone, and I can do things 100 percent for me.

I know that something will happen one day, but for now, I am going to enjoy every second I have with myself.

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.
