Ladies, If You're Looking For Your MRS Degree In College, Stop, You're Worth More Than That

Seriously, like what do you think the point of college is?

Listen y'all. I go to Baylor University (a private school). Baylor is renowned for its medical school, yeah that's cool whatever (it's actually not cool at all because kids are so cut throat here sometimes its crazy BUT that's the topic for another article). Of course, this leads to some girls who are here specifically to find a future doctor to marry.

PSA: this is NOT the way to have your life aligned! Especially at Baylor, where tuition is 60k.

Yeah.

If you're going to a crazy expensive college just to find a man, oh honey, PLEASE get your priorities in check.

First off, college is about bettering yourself, whether academically or socially. Do it! Study! Make New Friends! If you spend your whole time at college fixating on guys, you're not going to get anything out of it AND you'll be out the price of a medium-sized house here in Texas.

Second, if you spend all of your time looking for a guy, you're going to attract the wrong guy. Be patient and focus on other things. A relationship will come in its own time.

Third, why do you want to attach all your present and future value on someone else? What happens if you do find that dream guy in college, but after you two are married, he's not a dream anymore? Will you have any means of living on your own? You are worth WAY more than that to begin with, and you'll be worth WAY more than that if you take these years here to invest in yourself by getting a worthwhile degree with the goal of figuring out life after college, not with any boy.

I promise this is the better route. It may be a little harder (we're all currently drowning in homework), but it is the better option! Get comfortable with yourself and who you are, don't focus so much on being so "lonely" when in reality you're just single, and go out there and kick some booty!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
