For The Girl Who's Looking For A Country Boy

The guys you need in your life are the ones who open car doors, change your tire and sing George Strait with you.

For The Girl Who's Looking For A Country Boy

Yeah, country boys are adorable, but it goes beyond the trucks, bucks, and "oh, shucks."

Being away at college can really make one appreciate good ol' country boys. Frat guys who gel their hair, drive a Prius, and wear pink shirts are fun, but are they the type you actually want to date? While being away at college, I've discovered a newfound appreciation for a true gentleman, and I've noticed these gentlemen tend to be country boys. Here are some reasons why a country boy is the boy for you.

1. They're chivalrous.

If they're the right kind of country gentleman, then their mommas most likely raised them the right way. These are the guys who open car doors for you and pull out your chairs, not because you can't, but because they can, and they want to. Not to mention their manners are all about "Yes ma'am, yes sir, please, and thank you" If they're chivalrous, then they treat their momma well. If they know how to treat their mom, then they know how to treat a woman. There's nothing more attractive than a guy who knows how to treat and respect a lady.

2. They're independent.

They're hardworking and self-sufficient. This is a good sign because they aren't going to suffocate you because they have lives of their own. Everyone needs a little space and a little alone time.

3. They know how to have a good time.

Who doesn't love a case of beer, some country music, and a backroad on a Saturday night? Bonfires, four-wheeler riding, hunting, and fishing is the way to a girl's heart. It gets boring going on the usual dates: dinner, a movie, take-out, rent a movie, etc. There's no better date than a date spent on the river bank fishing or in the woods hunting! It's a great way for the two of you to get away from everything and enjoy your time together.

4. They are manly.

There is NOTHING more attractive than a guy who can throw on a ball cap, jeans, boots, and be ready to go in five minutes and STILL look real good. Who wants to wait on a guy to gel their hair before you go to the movies? No one. These are the guys who will know how to bait their hook and change a flat tire (the guys every girl needs).

5. They listen to George Strait.

Name one song George Strait sings about disrespecting a woman. Not one. He's all about fallin' in love and stayin' in love. Who doesn't want a love story like the ones George Strait sings about in his songs? He's a good ol' country boy who knows how to treat a woman.

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.
