Hello. My name is Madison (hi Madison)... and I am a single, picky girl. I am sure at least someone out there reading this is super picky like me too...don't lie! I am 20, and it seems everywhere I look, people my age have either been in relationships for years or are hopping from one boy to the next. Honestly, sometimes I am at a loss and get confused because I don't have anyone and wonder how girls get guys so quick; and then I think..."oh yeah.. I don't settle" and NEITHER SHOULD YOU!

Picky [adjective] : very careful or too careful about choosing or accepting things (thanks http://www.dictionary.com/browse/picky?s=t). When I talk about being picky, I do not mean being picky about how rich someone is, how many friends someone has, or how many materialistic things a guy could give you. When being careful about who you are bringing into your life and who you are in a relationship with, think about exactly what you want and really think about the non-materialistic qualities you should be picky about.

In college and/or in our 20's, we have so much going on in our lives. The last thing you want to do is settle for guy just to be in a relationship just like everyone else is. Being single and focusing on making yourself a better person right now is just fine! Everyone needs someone who will love, support, and care for them, but you wont get this if you rush into a relationship with someone you barely know and/or someone who doesn't have the same (for example) values or beliefs as you. This will only add more stress to your crazy life and, even though you think you are, you wont be fully happy with all aspects of life.

Even though being picky has always been looked to be a bad thing, it is actually a great thing in the long-run. Being picky is just another way of saying you know what you want, you are careful about who you want in your life, and you are trying to be happy. We all need to focus on our happiness once in a while, and being picky about who you date will help with this. When you finally end up with the type of person you've always wanted to be with, you will be soooo happy.

I am actually super happy that I am picky. I know exactly what I want, and will only be with who I deserve. I know I will never find the perfect guy, but I will find the perfect guy for me eventually... and so will you! If I can offer any advice, I would say forsure KEEP BEING PICKY!! If you are careful about the type of people you pursue, focus on you for a while, and think about the qualities you really want in a guy, you will be a million times happier... I promise you!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
