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.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
