"Focus on your goals sweetheart. These men only want to waste your time." r.h. Sin

As we enter college, there's this understood pressure to find a spouse. "Ring by Spring" is what we hear. Dating your freshman year isn't all that's cracked up to be and this is why.

1. Boys aren't mature... yet.

We put this huge pressure on guys that as soon as they enter college, *BAM* they're grown and mature! Like the best things in life, they take time. The majority of guys you meet will be doing their own laundry for the first time and asking their moms how to make ramen.

2. We need to focus on ourselves.

Your first year of college is FULL of changes! New environment, no pets, lots of studying. Why add more to the mix? Let yourself adjust to the crazy thing we call college. Learn more about yourself, explore yourself! Join a club, make some new friends, discover some new hobbies! Don't worry about the guys.

3. Girl friends beat boyfriends every day of the week.

Who is gonna be there for you when you need a good cry, or a pint of Ben and Jerry's? The best girl friends! You'll meet some of the best people in your life in college. Take a moment to take your focus off the guys, and on to some lifelong best friends.

4. Who stands behind you at your wedding? Bridesmaids.

It takes more people to fill your bridal party than the spot for your spouse. Go find some of those! Think ahead :)

5. Boys aren't capable of understanding our value.

Why settle for someone who can't treat you like you deserve? Wait for the man of your dreams to pursue you. And no, getting invited to Waffle House at 1 a.m. doesn't count!
